Last week of the mission! This week has been great and found miracles happen. Sorry so short on time, but I will fill you in more this coming week!
This week we brought Mary Smith to Church and she has a baptismal date for November 7th. I really look forward to hearing about this. She has come to church for almost a month straight and has not missed a Sunday since we started teaching her! She is giving up coffee and given up smoking just before we started to teach her. Ceci Baldwin was baptized last week. The long awaited time came! I feel bad I forgot to invite Elder Shaffer. I kept trying to remember and forgot anyways. It was really good to see it all work out and we have Jimmy Osborn who has given up every addiction he has and turned his life full 180. He is now reading the pamphlets we left with him and for the first time in the 9 months I have been teaching him, on and off. We'll be hopefully meeting him at church tomorrow for a church tour and inviting him to a baptism this Saturday for him to see . Oh and Mary even saw the baptism of Ceci baldwin.
Crazy miracle when we had about 20 minutes left Friday night and not really sure what to do we said a prayer and I asked is there anything else we can do and the thought came to mind of Joyce Osborn. An 89 year old former who we just stopped going by more recently. We called her up and invited her to the baptism and she surprisingly said she would love to come! And thanks to Sister Ercanbeck and Nezlen she was able to make it.
Love you all!
