i am proud to report that we had another baptism this week. it was this lady named lisa lowrey. i have actually only taught her twice but my companion had been teaching her for about the past month or so. but anyways she came to the conclusion that the church was true when she prayed for about 5 hours one day. so that was pretty awesome. we met with her this past wednesday and she wanted to be baptized on the next monday. so we made it happen last night and it was amazing.

 

we are teaching some people whose names are melody and angel and angel has been in prison for the past 4 years and just barely got out a couple of months ago and while she was in prison her kids joined the church and her son is actually on a mission on arkansas. but anyways we took them to the baptism last night that we had and melody told us that she felt a lot better about bapism becuase she thought that a mormon baptism was when she stood in front of the whole congregation during sacrament meeting and then poured a bucket of water on her and called her baptized! haha when she told us that i was like. wow, good thing that we took her to a baptism and it was pretty funny too becuase we had a dinner/lesson at their house afterwards and she has like seizures and stuff, and she is like on a lot of meds and she looked/acted as if she was high. but also angel didn't get a call from her son on christmas which kind of sucked also and so what we did was we called the arkansas misison president and asked if he could talk to his mom and he said that it would be ok, and so we called her son and talked to him and so then we set up a surpise phone call at the lesson and angel got to talk to her son for about 30 minutes so that was pretty awesome!

 

also one of our investigators, the one who is 88 years old, was supposed to be baptized on the 17th. but the old person home that he lives needs 30 days notice and also when he get's baptized they need to have atleast 2 employees in the font with him while he gets baptized. so we are going to have to wait a month for him to be baptized. so that is going to be kind of annyoing.
