Camri had a great week. I think she stayed away from the bourben this week. She had a zone conference this past week. if you have time, there are some great pictures of her not only on her own blog, but on mission blog as well. in fact, there is a video of her in fine form.
Don wore some pants!!! Theres a first time for everything right?? lol. He said the only time he'll ever wear pants is when he wears the jumpsuit to get baptized. And he did! His baptism was so awesome!
So Thursday we got a call from our Zone Leaders letting us know that they had talked to the AP's about Don's nudism situation. Don has changed pretty much everything about his life, but the one thing he was set on was being a nudist and going to nudist communities. The zone leaders said that he could not be baptized that Saturday unless he committed to not going to anymore nudist communities. We were so nervous to tell Don!!! I'm telling ya, we prayed so much. We had a lesson with Don that night and right after the prayer, I was just like "Don, in order to be baptized we have to be keeping all of the commandments. One of those is the law of chastity. And I know you don't go to nudist communities for the wrong reasons. But because our bodies are sacred, we protect them. And so we don't go to nudist communities and thats something that you'll need to commit to before you can be baptized". Idk it was something like that. And his response was so shocking! I thought for sure it would be a no go. But he said "Okay then I wont go. I'll do whatever Heavenly Father wants me to do".
Holy crap! So cool! So he got baptized :') And then..... he bore his testimony after. it was.... Don to a T. Hahah he started off by talking about his past transgressions. Sis. Wadman and I definitely should have read through it before. But anyways. He talked about High school how he broke some commandments with a mormon girl and they "did the dirty". It was something I'll never forget, and I'm sure its something no one else that was there will ever forget either... hahah. He also really wanted to end by reciting the Lords prayer... so he did. Don is a one of a kind man, thats for sure.
I don't know if I ever told yall about his voicemail, but it was pretty inappropriate. And he decided on his own that he needed to change it :')
As far as other investigators, Taylor is still doing good! She didn't stop smoking yet.. she was doing so good. Stopped cold turkey. But then her doctor got mad at her for doing that since shes pregnant and that can send her into pre-mature labor. Sooo she's weening herself off of it now. She went from 15 a day to 4 a day so shes making some major improvement! Hopefully she'll still make the date on Dec. 15th. I freaking love her holy.
Shayna came to church again! But sad news... i think shes moving. Hopefully we can teach her up until then and refer her to missionaries wherever she moves to.
Hmmm what else... we had exchanges on Friday! Hermana Cluff came down to Moses Lake with me. It went really well! We had lots of fun. We had a lesson with some YSA peeps, got a return lesson with them and their nonmember friends, and we had a lesson with Shayna. I think shes finally starting to understand the Restoration.
Ohhh we got a flat tire too. A huge nail was in our tire. So that was an experience. We tried to do it ourselves but were missing a tool. So the Elders had to come help. We coulda done it though I swear! haha.
Zone Conference was the bomb.com. I did a dance in the vid because I was sick of smiling and waving... but anyways. I learned so much!!! We were challenged to read the books of Matthew and Luke before Christmas so I started doing that. Its a great way to get to know Jesus Christ. ALSO! LIGHT THE WORLD INITIATIVE COMING SOON!!! Ask me how stoked I am. Seriously, if you're not pumped for Light the World, then GET PUMPED! Its gonna be freaking awesome. Gosh I LOVE THIS GOSPEL!!!! IT IS TRUE!
THE CHURCH IS TRUE BROTHERS AND SISTERS. HALLELUJAH :')
