What a week!
Today we had a BBQ and played a bunch of lawn games at a member’s house. It was a bunch of fun. We also hit the parade. It was good. It was a big parade for a small town but it wasn't very lively. The parades I remember being fun are the ones where people are way excited for everything! We are going to chill for a little bit today.
This week we had some amazing progress with our investigators. Robert is pumped for his baptism and he passed the interview so now he is doing well and starting to head towards baptism. That is this Saturday!
We learned some things this week with Cayla, the intern living with a member. Every time we meet her we get a strong feeling that she is ready for the gospel. We have had some good meetings. We taught her Sunday Night. We had a bunch of people fasting for a miracle for Cayla. We felt like she could be ready for baptism on the 22nd. When we invited her to be baptized, she didn't say no, but didn't say yes either. She said, “I don't know what to say.” We were thinking about this later because we had the strongest feeling that she could be baptized on the 22nd. What I learned is that it can happen if she wants it. She has to be the driver. It is all about her - not that we didn't feel inspired to do it but that she just chose not to.
I have seen a ton of growth with Elder St. Clair. I tend to throw him under the bus even more because he is picking it up well. He is doing well!
Not too much to say, but I have seen a big growth in myself. Something I really have learned, especially as of late, is to tune in to the voice of the spirit. It isn't always the same voice, but it comes through the same channel. I really do know that this is God’s work. He directs it and guides us.
