I'll Believe it When I See It!

Its been another great week in Fayette!!

We got our dinner calendar back after church yesterday and to our surprise it actually had stuff on it! If I remember right we have two dinners a week! As you could probably assume, we're pretty excited.

Our investigators are doing really good. They made lots of progress this past week. We taught the Word of Wisdom to one of them. We were really worried about it, not sure how well it would be recieved, but it went really good. She said that she was willing to give up drinking, smoking, and coffee, but that she would have a hard time giving up tea. We continued to reasure her of the blessings that would come from it and she accepted! Then with Dilbert, we went over there and he had some questions about the Plan of Salvation, just making sure that he was understanding it. We answered them and then he told us that he wanted to be baptized! He still has a lot of overcome, but he has that goal now. No one was able to make it to church though. Things just happen to always come up on the Sabbath. I wonder if the devil gets paid overtime on the weekends, he must, because those are the times that he seems to be the busiest. Anyway, all is well with everyone.

My back is a little sore still, but much better.
We're expecting another really big storm tonight. They say its supposed to be the biggest in a couple of years. I'll believe it when I see it though (how's that faith for you, haha).

Mom- I don't remember that story from the Trek. Oh well. It was fun none the less. Josh (Arnett) is home already! That's crazy, everyone is home now. I don't think you'll need an interpreter, I do pretty good when speaking in large groups or teaching. It's all the other times I'd be worried about, haha. ( I told Jon if he keeps talking like he did last week "Warshington"....that we might need an interpeter when he comes home and speaks in sacrament)
Dad-At least Josh's talk was longer than my five min. one.
You don't fully appreciate something until you don't have it anymore. There are many times I think "Oh, we'll just go to the church building and do...." or "hey, lets get some people together to play basketball" then I remember that we don't have either, a full church building or people to play basketball.
I'll have to go back and look at Lehi's dream again. I'm in 2 Ne: 2 right now. I was thinking this morning about how without sin, we couldn't choose the Atonement. I was thinking how each work side by side. Without one, we can't have the other. It helps me appreicate my mistakes a little bit so that I can draw and use the Atonement more fully.

Anyway, I've got to get going but I hope you have another enjoyable week.
Love,
