Josh got up and bore his testimony to everyone that he know the gospel is true, that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that Thomas S. Monson is one today. Sister Lamb and I were pretty darn happy about that, especially because he's been struggling a little the past week. But we both felt the spirit. It was actually really strong. Josh really does have a testimony and that helps add to my testimony that this really is Jesus Christs' restored gospel, and it is the truth.
We taught Bonnie earlier in the week about baptism and were talking about how we're baptized like Christ. She got really excited and was asking about how everything works. So we're explaining baptism by immersion and she looks really contemplative and says, "So I'll be completely wet?" and we said, "Yes." Then she says, "So.....will I be naked?" and obviously we said, "Oh, no!!" Haha! BUT she was totally willing to get baptized that way y'all!!
Later we taught the Word of Wisdom. We were a little nervous about that one. She offers us sweet tea every time we come over, and tells us about her morning coffee...and she was drinking a glass of tea while we taught. But we had just started the lesson and went through the things that we abstain from and she picks up her glass, looks at it, and says, "Well, I guess this is my last cup!". She blows me away. Literally. She's beyond golden. She's platinum. No doubt about it.
Samuel. Well, he has been a little down lately. And understandably so. He's got a lot going on. His future is going one of two ways, and it's not up to him at all. Breaks my heart to watch. He is scared to set plans for his future (including a baptism) because it is so uncertain. All we can do is pray for him really. But he's still amazing, and has a lot of faith. I have no doubt that no matter what happens, everything he's doing and learning now will help him with his future.
GOOD NEWS!!! I found my camera!!!! 3 weeks without that baby, and only 2 days after I got my new one. But it was pretty cool. It's hard to explain, but it was definitely all God's timing. If a series of events had not happened, the timing would have been totally off and I wouldn't have gotten it back. God is real, folks. And now I have a super cool picture of the guy who had my camera!

Also, in case anyone cared to know, I hate biking.
But I love the Beeston's!! They are new in our ward, and live in our complex and totally come in clutch when we're stranded or simply cannot bike anymore. And they like puzzles. My kind of people!
One day, I'll actually get a picture with the Beeston's and Bonnie. Sorry I'm a slacker! I promise I love them! But I got a picture of a fork in the road. And that's cool too.
