So I am completely unsure where to begin to describe this week. Well we had a baptism but it did not count for us. We were only going to be in Nauvoo one day this week and one day turned into 4 and transfers where this week but we are both staying.
That was the short version now here is the long version. The week started well. We have some really solid people that we are working with and the lord is really blessing this area. On Tuesday we got word that we where needed in Nauvoo to help teach a lady. At the time we did not know what we were getting ourselves into. So this lady was from Russia and could not speak English. Her husband was also from Russia and could speak English and was an active endowed member. This lady was visiting Nauvoo and was friends with some people form the Nauvoo Pageant cast so she wanted to be baptized while she was in Nauvoo. So in a couple days we taught all of the lessons and then interviewed her for baptism and then had the baptism on Friday. It was really cool because many of the cast members where there and they sang a really awesome musical number. We only had a couple days to get to know this Russian couple but we really enjoyed talking with them and they are solid members. Because of all of that craziness we were out of our area a lot but we still managed to get a decent amount of work done. The work is pressing forward and we are finding people with soft hearts.
I am so grateful to all of you for your faith and for your example. I hope all is well and look forward to hearing from you soon, have a fantabulious week.
P.S.
With the Nauvoo pageant going on we have the opportunity to deliver copies of the musical highlight from the pageant and a copy of the restoration DVD to people. we need names to send theses to people around the world. please send me peoples names and phone numbers (and address if you have them) by next week. the sisters in nauvoo will call them and ask them if they want a copy of theses things. the music is really cool and i know they will like it. please get me as many names as you possibly can. this is a great missionary opportunity. i need them by next Monday. that is the last chance. they can live anywhere in the world
