We have 4 Baptismal dates!!!!! It is amazing. The work here is picking up and it is the best! We are definitely seeing the fruit of our labors, which our labors have seemed like they are going 100,000 mph since I got here. So our investigator J who is 27 has a baptismal date for July 23. T and T (20y/o twins) have a baptismal date for July 30th and C for Aug 6th! We are so excited for their progress, and man does it feel good to actually be able to tell the Ward that we have people coming to church, and we have baptismal dates.
This week has been a rollercoaster. It is amazing. Lots of ups and downs. We met with C for the first time on Thursday and had a great discussion. We did, "How To Begin Teaching", and set expectations, and Sister Rees said at the beginning of the lesson "don't be surprised when we ask you to be baptized at the end of this lesson" Something neither of us planned to say, or have ever said. He listened to every word that came out of our mouth (like it was the gospel or something.) It was really cool to see. He had some concerns about baptism, but we cleared those right up and we were able to set a baptism date.
J we met through a less active member, he was doing her yard when we came by. She made him stop, had him sit down, turned on the Restoration video, and everyone was silent. We taught the restoration, and his friend bore her testimony. The spirit was so strong and he said "I want to be baptized. We didnt know what to do with ourselves. It was amazing. We have met with him a few times since, he is going through a lot. His cousin was just diagnosed with Lukemia, and he said she may not make it to the end of the year. . so Keep in him your prayers
T and T are twins and they are the cutest. They push each other to keep the commitments we set, and they both came to church on sunday! T is due to have her baby on the 23rd so we may have to push her baptismal date a week back but I am so excited for them!!
I am so excited for the work that is going on here in Ponca city! Our ward did a fast for mIssionary work, and we have really seen the blessings from that. Our district has 13 baptismal dates as of yesterday, and two weeks ago we had 0. It is really amazing how when you have the faith to drop those who aren't progressing that the Lord puts those who are ready to hear the word in your path.
I love you all and miss you all
Have such an amazing week!!
