Well, I should probably call this a Month update, not a week update, I haven't had time to do one of these for a while, so sorry about that. This past month has been completely full of ups and downs. This last week was really hard, I was sick most of the week, and we had a baptism that fell through, she had been interviewed and everything was set to go, we filled up the font on Saturday, and then she called us and said she didn't want to do it anymore. Needless to say we were devestated. It is a 13 year old girl named Mary whose Mom and Brother are both members, and she believes the church is true and everything, she is just scared to get baptized, so we are working on that, hopefully we can help her to be less afraid and to go through with it. We did have a baptism earlier this month though on January 8th, a college student named Alexandria Stout, so that was really exciting and incredible. Right now we're teaching a college student named Addie Kirsch, who is a cheerleader at East Carolina University, and she has read from the Book of Mormon and prayed about it, and believes that it is true, so that was really exciting when she told us she got her answer, but now she needs to give up her coffee, so we'll see how that goes ;) We're also teaching a Marine named Jack Dolly, who is 25, and he believes that the Church is true, and in about 6 weeks he has read up to Ether in the Book of Mormon. Well I gotta go, but that's kinda the update of what is going on here. I love you all.
Love,
Elder Rider
