Getting Ready for a Baptism!

So this week has been a little crazy. We had a leadership training this week that we trained at and it was a little stressful. We had 2 hours to fill and yet we probably put 6-8 hours into preparing for it. It was a lot of brainstorming and finalizing and then starting from scratch again. In fact the morning of the training, we ended up re-doing it all. In the end it all worked out and the conference went really well. Other than that our week went relatively slow. We did a lot of finding but we weren't able to find anyone very interested in learning more. We did have one really good lesson with an investigator that is Awesome. Tuesday night as we were planning out our next day we could not find anything to do or anyone to see in the evening but we decided that we were going to find someone. We went all day and we hadn't found anyone that we could teach, no one at all. It was the end of the evening, around 8, and we gave an investigator a call that had actually missed an appointment with us the previous day. He answered the phone and we asked him about a time that we could meet with him next and he said: well I'm not doing anything so I'll run over right now. He came over and explained that the previous night he actually fell asleep studying and thus slept through our appointment. The Lesson went great and he was dead set on coming to church but then he didn't. He said that he would explain it all to us on Tuesday when we meet with him.

Oh and this weekend we are getting everything ready for a baptism. This guy has been investigating for more than a year and it is finally time. He's excited, we're excited and everyone in the ward is excited.

I'm out of time but I love ya.
