Week 32- Awesome Week!

November 23, 2009

Hi!
This has been such an awesome week! We really have a lot of good, exciting things going on here in Lititz!!!! Transfers are in a week so, PLEEEEEEAAAAASSE keep praying that I stay here!!!! I am praying that I will! haha, and I keep hinting to President that I need to stay here too. Hopefully his will, my will, and the Lord's will are all in line with eachother! :) :) :) Greg is still progressing so awesomely! He did slip and smoked one cigarette this past week, but I think it really shook him and he learned his lesson. Right when we got to his home, he told us right away what had happened, but then he was all gung-ho about making sure all of his baptism plans were still in order. haha. He's great. He bought his church clothes. He just needs them hemmed and he is all set to get baptized! We finished all the lessons with him last week, now it's just in limbo kind of. We want him to feel completely comfortable and ready to get baptized, but we are also like "what are you waiting for??" haha. He IS ready! Maybe we should tell him that he shouldn't procrastinate! haha, jk.
At church yesterday, we had a GREAT turnout! We had 5 investigators at church and 13 less-actives! :) That is the most I've seen my whole mission! We have also been working with a less-active family, the Lay family who has been consistentley coming to church now. They have 2 overaged youth so we just asked Sister Lay if she wanted us to teach her children towards baptism. She said yes, so we will begin teaching them tonight.
We did a sisters exchange in Hershey this past week too. That was a lot of fun! For part of the day I worked with one sister (Sister Villa from Mexico) and then in the afternoon I worked with another sister (Sister Wolfgramm). I had a lot of fun, got to meet some of their investigators. I taught this old man they are teaching, who is about 90 years old and he is a member of the RLDS church. They have a struggle trying to get past the whole authority to baptize but he was a great old man! haha, so funny and so nice!
I am out of time on the computer so I gotta go real fast! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALLLLL!!!!!! Have such a happy week and
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I'll probably be having 2-3 meals, haha, expect me to be fat when I come home from my mission)
Love you!
Love, Holly
