November 22, 2010 - Broke Some Lights

this was a really good week. Emily someone that has been taught by the missionaries for five years finally excpted a baptismal date for dec 9th, the day that i leave to have surgery so ill get to see her baptized. it was a pretty crazy lesson. we taught the plan of salvation and afterwards we explained the paradisaical glory of th earth. i thought great now were going to go off on a deep docterine tangent and shes going to start asking a ton of deep questions. but she didnt she said "oh my gosh it makes perfect sense!" then she said "ok ill do it" i was like do what? be baptized? she said yep ill do it. apparently i missed cause i said what? oh man thats sweet. after i collected myself i asked her if she would follow the example of jesus christ by being baptizd on dec 9th. coincidentally its on her birthday so shes excited that shes going to be "reborn" or baptized on her birthday. it finally snowd here..... its flipping cold now. but all is good here this week we helped all of our investigators put up there christamas stuff. icicle lights, trees, etc. it was alot of fun to see what different people do for christmas. one funny thing that happened our investigators mom said she didnt like the lights like that so we took them down but instead of going up the lader again i just yanked them off and broke a ton of them :(. she was pretty pissed but i apoligiezed. she said screw christmas then i went and bought her some really nice lights and made her happy. -- Elder Tyler Herring2133 Washington Blvd.Ogden, Utah 84401
