Everything this last week went pretty well! I mean, besides the appointments flamed, it mostly went pretty well! Everything is good for Callei's baptism this weekend. She had her interview on Sunday and passed, so that is going to be taking place on Saturday. (Her name is just like Callie, just the e and the i are switched. Don't ask me why because I couldn't tell ya.) Her family is probably one of the best families because the kids are so awesome, but I feel like I say that about every family in the ward. Her brothers and sisters are just super funny kids and teaching them lessons is always a party if you ask me.
We had a couple of exchanges this last week and they are always a good experience. Gotta love going on exchanges. Found some new investigators last week and we've already got a hot start to this week, so hopefully things continue on for us! Some people that we found the last couple weeks told us they aren't interested, so that's kind of a bummer, but we are finding new people to start to teach! Also, kind of a little baby miracle happened as well. So we have those pass along cards that everyone and their dog knows about, sometimes we leave them on people's doors, sometimes we don't. On Sunday when we were out tracting, we were leaving some of the free Bible cards on everyone's doors, and most of the time they just get tossed out and not even looked at. Then on Monday we got a call from a random number and they said they were told to call our number to get a free Bible, so we got the information for them with their name and address so we could take it over to them. I plugged the information into the Referral Manager online and it pulled up a map to show me where the address was, and it was the same road and one of the houses we left a card on their door! Don't really know how they got our number, but we took them a Bible and they also said they wanted a Book of Mormon and they would read it and then let us know when we could come over to talk to them about it. So that was awesome! Sometimes leaving those cards behind actually works.
There's been so much happen this last week that I can't really think of everything to tell you, but the short version is that everything is going well for us here in Youngstown. We saw Stacey again but she wasn't at church on Sunday because she wasn't feeling well, but we talked to her and some members about going up to Kirtland in the near future and she was excited to do that, so that's another thing we have coming up soon! It might be as soon as this Sunday after church just hop on up to Kirtland, but not 100% sure if that will be it or not. Got some pictures for you for this week of an abandoned building we found just yesterday before we went and found a new investigator. That's pretty much what every other house in Youngstown looks like, but I love it here! I decided that I'm going to start to carry my camera with me everywhere and every boarded up or abandoned house we see I'm gonna get a picture with for you, so there's gonna be lots of pictures if I remember to do it. That's the kicker, just gotta remember. Also there's a picture of going to PA and the welcome to PA sign.
I know this is super short, but that's all I got for this week.
Love ya!
