The Morrill of the Story

This week had it's ups and downs, but it ended on an up and that's all that matters. On Tuesday we were blessed with multiple appointments and people who were willing to come out and help us teach at those appointments. We've actually decided that it might be best for the Elders that we split a ward with to teach Christopher from now on. He's a single guy living by himself so it'll just be easier for the Elders to be able to see him and work with him. We were able to meet with one of our more promising investigators named Emma. Her and her husband are in the process of getting a divorce and are battling about the custody of their small child. It's been rough on her, but she says that she's found a lot of comfort from the Book of Mormon and has been trying to learn more about charity and having love for others. Look at her trying to be alll Christlike! It was pretty cool. What's even better is that she came to the ward's Thanksgivi...

Brrr!  35 degrees on transfer day! Hello! So transfers are upon us again and I am going down to Copperas Cove which is in the Killeen Stake by the military base. I'm so excited! My companion's name is Sister Tuna. I'm super sad to be leaving Arlington but I know that the Lord is sending me where He needs me. It's going to be really cool, we're over the 2nd ward and also the YSA Branch. I'm really excited. I don't have the new address quite yet, but I'll update you next week. This week has been pretty good! Scout and her brother got baptized! It was so very tender. The whole family was there and they were just so happy! Sad news is that Scout's brother is moving down to Austin to live with the Aunt and Uncle who have practically raised him. So we won't get to see him as often. They said they'll still come visit though. I'm just so happy that Scout and her brother made this choice. It's going to set the foundation for the res...

      So. Lucy did not get baptized this week. It's actually really okay though. She sent us a message last Monday night and said that she wasn't ready and that she was still having some commandment issues. It was really hard and sad to hear about, especially because she had made so much progress, but we understood. We weren't able to meet with her for a couple of days, but when we did finally meet with her it was amazing. Actually the second time we met with her was a little more amazing. The first time we saw her after Monday she said that she just wanted a little more time so we set another date for November 15th . However when we came back the second time she was just honest with us and told us that she didn't think she'd be ready and that she wanted to put off a baptismal date at this time so that she could really get ready to make this covenant. She realized that the consequences of messing up after baptism are a lot worse than mes...

Zone Meeting   With Sis. Carbno and Sis. Ames   This week was great! Let's see, where do I start? Let's start with Lucy.  Lucy is still doing awesome! She's still on track for baptism despite some of the trials she has had this past week. Satan is working really hard on her. We had an awesome lesson with her on Tuesday with a wonderful member from our ward. We talked a lot about faith and she seemed to find a lot of strength from that. Wednesday is when it started to get a little crazy. We also decided in the lesson that we were going to have some priesthood holders come over the next night to give her a priesthood blessing. So the next day we were in a lesson with Scout and had gotten a phone call and some texts from Lucy. After the lesson we were able to check the messages and she told us that she wasn't feeling up to us coming over anymore and that she was getting evicted because of her dogs and just wasn't feeling too happy. We mess...
