Napoleon you're just jealous

"I guess you can say things are getting pretty serious". I quoted a lot of Napoleon Dynamite this week. It started off when the Elders quorum president quoted some lines and then I went off. But the real reason I have said things are getting serious is because they are! We found 3 new people this week and put someone on date! I'm pumped! 


So out of the 3 people found, 2 were taught in the past and we started to teach them again and one of them is Shanice, the lady who just showed up to sacrament meeting last week. We taught a lot of solid lessons this week so I'll give ya a rundown of how they went!


Michael - this guy is a homie and knows a lot about the bible. He was found back in 2013 and has been on and off with the missionaries. We taught him the Restoration and he totally believed all of it. He loves Joseph Smith and the First Vision. I think the reason he hasn't been baptized is because he lives with his sister and she doesn't really like the church for some reason. So our goal is to continue to meet with him and help him grow! 


Marfida - she is from Venezuela and probably should be in the Spanish ward but she is pretty stubborn and wants to go to the ward her son goes to. Her son was baptized a couple years ago. She has been taught everything and believes everything except for tithing. We tried to explain the importance of it, but she is pretty set about not paying tithing so we will continue to help her! 


Shanice - she is awesome! We taught the Restoration and Gospel of Jesus Christ this week and she is loving the lessons. She believes all of it and is understanding it. We put her on date for the 14th and are hoping we can keep that as the day! Please keep her in your prayers so she can continue to work towards baptism! 


This week is gonna be a lot of returning lessons with the people we have been teaching but I think Shanice will stay our main focus! 


Now I wanna talk about how good conference was! Last October I was pumped about the Orem temple but how we have one coming to Lindon! So sick! I loved every single talk so much, I can't even pick a favorite! Every talk answered a question I had in a different way and I loved it so much! I hope everyone had the chance to watch it and if you didn't, go back and watch! 


Love you all
