Happy Monday!
This week has been so great! I don't have a lot of emailing time, so please excuse the short email!
I am absolutely loving it here! Everyone is so nice... they may not accept our message, but they won't hesitate with giving us water or lemonade!
This past week we have done a lot of door knocking and we have been trying to find wherever we go. Compared to last week, it has been less eventful, but we were, however, able to meet up with Babucaur 3 times. Each time we were able to teach him more and more. He has so many great questions, and has an open mind. He's Muslim, so it's definitely different, yet he's able to point out the similarities. He's asked us to fast the 40 days with him for Ramadan, and we're really looking forward to it!
Speaking of fasting, yesterday both me and Sister Reaman have decided to fast once a week! As I was praying Sunday morning, I felt that would be the right thing to do to get us started in this area. We can't help but feel a little overwhelmed here, because of all the investigators in our area book that haven't been contacted a second time. We're planning on going through all the names, and praying for them individually to see if they still need to be taught.
Something cool that happened was that we ran into someone who is good friends with the Witherspoon family (yes, like Reese Witherspoon). He was in the movie, "Walk the Line" and has been acting most of his life. He was quite the talker, but sadly wasn't too interested.
So, Mark (our neighbor we magically ran into) has been meeting with us 4 times a week now, and we're planning on asking him to be baptized soon! It's so cool to see the changes within him these past 2 weeks that we've been teaching him. Remember to keep him in your prayers!
A little shoutout to Will and Mackenzie: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Sure do love you both. :)
Well, I sure love you guys a whole lot!
