Hey everyone!
Happy Father's Day to all of you fathers! Especially my amazing dad! Can't imagine life without him!
Thank you for all the birthday wishes! I appreciate it! Can't believe I'm not a teenager anymore :(.
This week was super good. Charity's baptism was on Saturday and it went so well! So many members from the ward showed up and a bunch of nonmembers came as well. The spirit was super strong! Charity's grandparents are members in the Willamina Ward so it was awesome to see them again. Pretty cool. There were about 6 or 7 people from her past church that came (including the pastor). They had lots of questions for us after the service so hopefully we will be able to teach them here pretty soon.
We had one sad thing happen last week. The guy who we put on date last week (Josh) dropped us because he got baptized into some Christian church in town. He said that for now he is going to stick to the Bible and his Christian church. Super lame. Hopefully he will have another chance to accept the Gospel.
We found a super cool new guy though named Al. He grew up religious but hasn't been to a church in a very long time and is looking for one to go to. He didn't know a whole lot about the church other than the classics like polygamy. We taught him about the Book of Mormon and the organization of the church and it seemed like it answered a bunch of his questions. He thought that the Book of Mormon was our version of the Bible but he got super interested in it when we taught him what it really was. As we left the house, he said, "your church is moving up in my rankings." ha ha Hopefully we can surpass the "Tillamook Lutheran Conservative Church" which is his current #1.
Everyone else is doing pretty good. We taught Jessica this week and she has been keeping all of the commitments that we have left with her so far! We are going to teach her the Plan of Salvation tonight so hopefully that goes well.
I love you guys and hope you have a great week!
