So, things are going well. Sister McCauley and I
get along really well--too well, sometimes. But we have an investigator
preparing for baptism on Sept. 13,
so we are really excited. She is pretty cool. Her daughter is already a
member, and she just says she needs to learn a lot before she's really
ready. We had an awesome lesson with her this last week, and she just
keeps getting more prepared. In other news, someone I taught back in
Sioux City I learned has agreed to be baptized, so that's awesome, too!
We only have had to ride our bikes a little bit since members
have been good about giving us rides or we've had the car. But this week
we will have the car a little less. Yesterday we were out riding bikes,
and it was so humid, and I was so sweaty (I am painting a beautiful
picture, aren't I?), but Sister McCauley and I had prayed for a miracle:
We needed one more lesson to be what the mission calls a "star
companionship." We thought it would be cool to be stars our first week
together. I mean, how awesome, right? Anyway, so there we are, biking,
hot, sweaty, tired, and looking totally... amazing (I probably looked
like a supermodel, so just picture that). But we stopped at the home of
someone whom the Elders used to teach (they haven't been in the area
since May, so it has been a while). And a miracle occurred: He was home!
So was his wife! And we were able to teach about the Book of Mormon and
why he should read it. (Hint: Moroni 10:3-5 and Alma 5: 45-46 are the
reasons why.) He paused, and then said that we were right and he was
going to actually try to read this time! Triple miracle, folks: He was
home, we could teach him, and he said he'd read! Now that's cool stuff.
I love you all and can't wait to hear from you all soon!
Sister Loradona May
