| Who you gonna call? These guys! |
Hey, y'all!
It's been a pretty good week; the best part being that both our top
investigators have baptismal dates for April! Hooray! One of them,
Keya, has almost had all the lessons (just tithing and fast offerings),
came to church this week, is excited for conference, and is getting
prepped for her baptism! She is awesome, and we are so happy! She is
trying to get a job closer to the Young Single Adult Branch so she doesn't have to
drive over an hour to get here; she is also flying to Hawaii for some
vacation and looking at the schools down there, so we'll probably
baptize her after that. The other gator, Jerry, is also doing really
well; he came to church at the Kennesaw Ward and was taught about the Ten Commandments and obedience, so we still have a couple to go; however,
he'll probably get baptized before Keya does; he is soaking it up like a
sponge!
I have never had this many potential baptisms, let alone rock solid
ones; it's been great! While baptisms don't measure success, we were
called here to preach to all nations and baptize every creature. It has
been great to have plenty of investigators who actually want to learn
more and join the fold!
Anyway, it's been a decent week alot has happened, so I'll share
the good stuff; we have seen our top 3 gators at least twice this past
week, and had a member at every single appointment! Sweet! Do you know
what isn't sweet, though? Not having any money or food lol! I have eaten
everything I have, and I don't have any money to buy more (the church
still hasn't sent my replacement card yet). My companions have been very
nice and have shared both their own snacks and cents, but I hate asking
them to do so; I'll be glad when the card arrives.
We have also had pretty good success with the Grueners (the lady
who sent y'all the e-mail and picture; Dad has it). She has been to
church three weeks in a row, a new record! She is also reading more out
of the good book (the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ,
for those who couldn't guess), and her non-member husband is showing
some minor interest in the Book of Mormon, so we'll see where that goes!
We got to talk with some other less-actives, who we hopefully will
start seeing at church! There is nothing like seeing the member we're
working on show up on Sunday; it's almost as good as a baptism (I hear,
lol)!
This letter will be kind of short; we are hopefully headed to play
sand volleyball with some other missionaries! I haven't played sand
volleyball since the MTC (which feels like ages ago), so I'm excited!
My companions and I are crazy (the past couple of photos should
give you some idea)! We are always up to our silly antics (within
reason, of course)! The has been the funniest and craziest companionship
I've been in, and I'm glad we can have fun and still get work done!
I'll be sad when it has to end; this has been tied for my longest
companionship (3 months with my trainer, then 6 weeks in Dahlonega, then
6 in Dawsonville, and going on 3 months here!), and I hope I can stay a
little longer.
That's all I got to say for now; I hope everyone is doing well!
E-mail or write so I can know what y'all are up to! I got to sit down
and write some letters, I'm very bad at that. I hope Grandpa and Aunt
Nina have gotten their letters by now!
Take luck, y'all!
Love,
Elder Casey Guy Dickson
