Well, I started off the day going to the chiropractor. For
the past two weeks, I have had a very sharp pain in my back whenever I breathed
in. The guy was able to readjust my back and he said that my rib was rubbing
against my spine. It feels a bit
better and I have to go back again on Wednesday for a follow-up.
This week was sick! An old couple that we were teaching, that the lady is ex'ed, got married randomly over the weekend. Just decided to tie the knot one day and did it that night. I was kind of a shock when I asked them what exciting things had happened over the weekend.
Christina finally has decided to go ahead and get baptized. We have set an official date for November 2nd. I'm so stoked about it. She is going to have her interview this week. Their daughter participated in the Primary Program yesterday, so they have been getting more and more involved. We finally made contact again with Jesse and he also has his interview this week and has his baptism as well on November 2nd.
So, there has been this lady, Ashleigh, that I've been trying to teach and to get to come to church since I got here. She randomly showed up to church last Sunday after 4 1/2 months. Then she held her appointment for the first time in 4 1/2 months. We had a really great lesson and committed her to baptism for November 22nd. She said that before she wasn't ready, but that now she is. She used to smoke two packs a day, but now she only smokes one or two cigarettes a day. Huge improvement. She came to church again yesterday and we had another lesson with her yesterday afternoon. Her son is eight, so we are going to have them get baptized together. Her kids love church and things are rolling great. She has to have quit smoking at least by November 8th, so pray that she can get over that.
Besides all of those appointments, we did so much service this week. We gathered sticks and leaves to burn for this one family in their burn pile because they have been trying to sell their house. We dug potatoes for a crippled guy two different days. We busted out tile for a guy in his entryway. And we helped someone move there giant quilting machine that didn't end up fitting through the door, so it took 3 1/2 hours to figure out a way to get it in there by taking it apart! It was exhausting.
All in all, the week was so much better than the past two transfers. It was so nice working with someone that is willing to work and able to take charge. Life is chill.
Love you all. Peace and Blessings!
