This week has been yet another great one! We ended with 5 new investigators and 29 lessons! We also had TWO INVESTIGATORS COME TO SACRAMENT MEETING! Yay!! It was so fun yesterday. I couldn't stop smiling. One of the boys, Logan, committed to baptism and we are going to give him a baptismal date. He said that he has never been baptized and that baptism is something he's always wanted but never knew which church to get baptized in. He stayed for all 3 hours and during priesthood meeting he was even participating and raising his hand asking questions! But bummer thing is that he is 21 so he will be passed off to the singles ward missionaries. But non the less, it's all the same work and we are so excited!
We had a great lesson with Judy Frendo about temples. She said that she often feels the presence of her husband and we told her that 4 days after she gets baptized, she can go to the temple and get her husband baptized! She had no idea that she could get herself and her husband baptized in the same week. We talked about how in the temple the veil is even thinner and she asked us how we felt in the temple doing baptisms. We each shared an experience about when we have felt the presence of the people who's work we were completing. It was a very special lesson. Everything seems to be going well in Vacaville. I think my time here is winding down ever so rapidly. I love Vacaville and the people here.
This week in my scripture studies (I am still doing the 90 challenge, and I am in Alma) I decided that to make my studies more productive each day I would pick a different attribute of Christ and find and look for different ways that the people in the scriptures use or live that certain Christ-like attribute! It really has made me scripture study more effective as I am able to see how the people in the scriptures are abiding the teachings of Christ and living by them. It's been such a cool experience. Well, That's all for this week!
