Just Start Over.

We officially taught Sam the Law of Chastity this week. And how do two 19 and 20 year-old missionary girls teach a 23 year-old country boy about keeping himself pure and clean?? You sing, of course! The lesson went really well actually, and we got to talk to him more about temples and that's always awesome. Sam is great! Here's to hoping he can be baptized this Sunday. 

Bonnie relapsed this week. She drank on Tuesday night. That was hard. But it was most heartbreaking when we saw her on Wednesday and you could tell she just felt awful about it. She told us she felt like the dirt of the earth. She didn't want to drink, and she knew it was the devil tempting her. But she really was doing awesome, and she's back at it again. And it provided an awesome opportunity to share more about the Atonement of Jesus Christ with her. Later in the week, when she was praying, she thanked Heavenly Father for his Son Jesus Christ who is our repenter, and atoner. How right she is. When we make a mistake, we are so blessed to be able to start over and try again. 

Her baptism is still scheduled for this Saturday and she knows it will give her the strength she needs. 

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is amazing. 

Josh is happy, happy, happy! We watched Sunday's session of conference with him at the Pettet's, and we watched Saturday's session with Bonnie at the Beeston's. It was all great! I love hearing from our church leaders. They truly are men called of God. 

Conference with Bonnie and the Beeston's

Oh, and there have been some sick storms here the past few days. Tornado weather is upon us! Luckily, no one was hurt. And I still haven't seen a twister. 

We're also dying Elder Pierre-Louis' hair purple. So that's cool. 

Oh! I almost forgot! So at interviews this week Sister Olson challenged us to contact 20 people a day. As in, meet 20 new people in some way.  So we're sitting here at the library emailing and a guy named Essie starts talking to us. So naturally we start introducing the gospel to him and he's met missionaries before! We're getting real into the conversation, and he's seeming pretty interested and I asked why he had been in Texas (where he has met the previous). He said he was probably getting into some trouble. As he said that, a cop totally walks in and starts walking to us. And then another cop, and another!! The first cop says, "I need you to come with us." and the three cops escort Essie out of the library!! And that's a story of how contacting people in Mississippi goes. Only 19 more to go today!!
