It's been another up-and-down week here in Greenmount. It's a very hilly place. hahaha!
It's also been hilly with our investigators as well. We're working very hard with Teresa. She's not golden. More like Platinum. We had a lesson with her on Wednesday night, and she asked us, "What's the next step for me?" Well of course, baptism, so we reset a date for her, August 17th. We were so excited! She was excited! Her family was giving her grief for a while, but she told us that she'd had some confirmations to her, through prayer, and a dream, to just go ahead with it. Yay! We also had dinner at a member's house, with her and her daughter Madison, who's 18. Madison really opened up to the members, and to us, and we're hoping that she'll follow her mum's example as well.
Unfortunately, something came up, and we've had to postpone the date. Teresa's going through a very difficult challenge at the moment, and she can't get away from it. We went over Sunday afternoon and talked with her about it, and then gave her a blessing to help her. She wants to move forward.
We've also been working with the ward, in finding part-member families. There are a couple in our area that we're hoping to make contact with this week. We want to help bring them back to church :)
Friday was really fun. We had a district leader's training meeting, at the mission home. It was great, and we all received some very good training and counsel on helping our district. I also found out that my trainer, Elder Kerr, goes home in one more transfer! ITS CRAZY! I can't believe it. Time flies.
Well, I love you all, and I hope you're all having a good week!
Love,
Elder Reeder
