April 11, 2016

This week was really good! It was my birthday, of course. Seems like everyone under the sun found that one out. Thank you for all the birthday wishes! It was a good day, my companion surprised me with going out to dinner with a family in the ward, total surprise. And then we went to John's where we launched off fireworks and things of that nature in his back yard! haha So awesome! It was a great birthday!

We taught lots this week! Only Hunter came to church, no other investigators.. Which is a bummer but things happen. With John, we found out it's more of a social thing, like I said last week. But it's also his wife that's really holding him back a lot.. So we are working through that. He told us that we challenge him with things and in turn he challenges his wife, so she is at least open to him. So we keep telling him that it's going to be through his example that he will get through to her. And so, he knows it's true and such, so its interesting. We're working with him there. We also made sure we weren't a wedge between him and his wife, he told us we weren't so that's good! Hunter was not baptized, but we did send missionary's in Raleigh over to his mom's house and they said they had a very pleasant visit with her and that she agreed to read and pray about the Book of Mormon! So we are hoping for big results there! She said she would be open to him being baptized! So we've set him with a new date of the 23rd of April! So we are hoping for that to go well!

Do you remember Craig, from my last area in New Bern? He was baptized on the 9th! So that is super exciting! I'm so happy for him! I just wish I would have been able to make it! We have been working a lot on the member roster here, trying to find less actives and part members to work with and we have been having huge success with that so far! We have found about 5 part member families that sound pretty willing! So we are going to try to start working with them! But otherwise nothing too crazy, I'm sorry this is brief but I am out of time! haha

Thank you for the birthday wishes! I love you all and miss you guys a ton!
