This week Abigail Snyder was baptized. She is one of the coolest. Her sister Stephanie just needs her heart softened now...
Elder Hill and I gave talks in church this Sunday. Elder Hill had never given a talk longer then 8 mins and so when we were the only speakers he was a little stressed out. He prepared a talk on enduring in faith and I don't think there is a better topic for him to speak on. He has had some very hard, very recent experiences. The Spirit was present for sure and he ended up talking for about 30 mins. So I ended up having to refine my talk down but that is okay.
We have been striving to find even one person who will stick around for us to teach for the past three weeks. We talk to a lot of people because we are here in the city but still nothing.
Yesterday evening we were out teaching everyone in sight when we felt like we should change places. We walked south and talked to everyone along the way. About a half mile south we talked to a family on a porch. It was a mother and about 7-8 kids of all ages. They said they knew us and that Abby was just baptized this saturday. So we got talking obviously. Now I know that Abby gave up almost all of her old friends because her choice to be baptized. I think this family was one of them seeing as most of the kids were smoking cigarettes and cigars. They were open to listening so we shared the restoration with Dana, the mother, while the kids filtered off one by one. The Spirit was very strong and Dana wanted to read the book of Mormon so I gave her my teaching one because we didn't have another one on us. We are excited to see where that family goes.
It was incredible to see the change that has come in Abbys life so fast since she used to be in the same place as that family.
Also Maddy Zmuda from my first area has gotten her mission call to Orem Utah.
