What an amazing week it's been! We have truly been blessed here in Picayune. We had the Sister Training Leaders over (they're kind of like the zone leaders for sister missionaries--they come visit us and we go on splits with them) which mean we were able to get twice the amount of work done on Thursday! It also meant that we were both making appointments, so we accidentally triple booked ourselves for Saturday and Tuesday! Whoops. Fortunately the ward is very helpful and with three of us we can make it work.
We had a ward Thanksgiving Dinner on Friday. It was so good! The Magallenes family was able to come, and they brought along their daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. I think they enjoyed themselves. I love that this ward does so much together. It's like one big family.
We invited Anita Magallenes to be baptized several weeks ago. She said she would but she wouldn't set a goal date. During the dinner she surprised us by telling us she wanted to be baptized on the 21st, on her and Andres' one year anniversary. We were so excited! We've been working this weekend to put the program together. Andres is going to be able to baptize her. I love this family so much! It's been so amazing to see a change in them, just in the past month and a half.
We've started the stop smoking program with Clint on Tuesday. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to do it for a long time but we taught him about faith again and promised that God would be helping him through it. When we came back on Thursday I asked him how he was doing with it, and if he was following the steps we'd given him (there are 15 steps to the stop smoking program to go through every day). He said, "Oh, I don't need those steps! I'm doing fine!" It made me laugh. I love that guy. Last I checked he's still going strong.
Well, that's all for today! Oh, but for anyone who may have missed it last time, here's my address...I thought I'd better put it up again in case someone was just dying to write me letters or something... (Hint hint)
413 Bay Street
