Hello Family and Friends!
Very productive week this last week! Wednesday we had district meeting in Guntersville, then did an exchange with the elders there. I was on exchange with Elder Lebaron, one of our district leaders. We were able to find and teach some african and haitian immigrants at some projects just outside of Guntersville. Two ethiopian investigators came to church Sunday in Guntersville and we are in the process of getting them amharic Book of Mormons and other literature to help them teach themselves, since they speak very little english.
This last week was the week of baptismal dates for our zone! After our exchange in Guntersville we made our way to Cullman. Elder Powell (one of the Cullman elders) and myself went to see C-----, one of their investigators, and committed her to be baptized in June.
In our area we and the sisters have had a lot of success as well. Our wards are so large that sometimes non-members show up at church and we don't hear about it until after the fact. Thursday we had a meal appointment with a recently re-activated member, and his nonmember girlfriend showed up. The sisters were there, so they were able to answer a lot of question. She committed to be baptized yesterday in Gospel Principles. We set a baptismal date with J---, a former investigator, on Saturday; the sisters set a baptismal date with a 15-year old girl named N------ earlier this last week,; and we got a call last night from the zone leaders in Huntsville saying that the sisters in Huntsville found a girl who has been to church now and really wants to be baptized who lives in the Madison 2nd Ward boundaries. We're really excited!
I've run out of time (as usual). Love you all. thanks for everything you do. I pray for you!
I saw the released drawing of the Meridian Idaho ATemple on LDS.org! It's amazing!
