Well... I kinda talked to you guys yesterday but... what's up? It was really great talking to you all and being able to see your bright smiling (maybe a little grogy/sleepy) faces :)
I don't have a whole lot to say
because I said a lot of it yesterday and I don't want to be repeating everything like like like a
broken record ;) but I do want to talk about Ramon's confirmation :) he
almost didn't make it... he went to pick up his friend that lives
kinda far away and showed up kinda late... but its okay he was still
able to get confirmed and receive the Holy Ghost and all the really
important things to complete his baptism by water and spirit :)
The only
thing that made me kinda sad was that he wasn't able to pick up an
investigator that was going to come with us... he went for his friend
pretty early and then didn't have time to pass by the lady's house and
she felt kinda stood up... :( We went by her house later to ask her
forgiveness and she let us know that she was kinda waiting for the ride
the whole morning... normally she sells clothing on Sunday mornings but
this week she didn't so she could go to church... and then Ramon didn't
ever show up so... ya... at least we helped her keep the Sabbath day
holy :) but maybe we kinda tricked her into doing it even though
we weren't trying to... :) but she was pretty cool about it and said
that she would go with us this week and we promised her we would pass by
her house personally :) Her name is Dora, by the way, she was a prior
investigator that I taught a few times with E. Naylor and then we
dropped her because she wouldn't go to church (because she was selling
clothes). Then with E. Mendez we were walking up the street that she
lives on and the brother that was accompanying us said "there is someone
on this street that you guys visited before right?" because he had gone
with us to visit her once or twice. I told him that we had and then
Elder Mendez wanted to visit her again so a couple days later we visited
her and she told us that she had gone to Texas to visit her daughter
for a while and had taken the BOM with her to read and that she had left
it there and wanted a new one, how great is that? So we started to
teach her again and it looks like she is ready to progress :)
But that's all I've got for now! Hope you all have a great week and all that good stuff....love y'all :)
-Elder Sampson :)
