Dearest all Y'all,
Exchanges were awesome! We went tracting in the
complexes near ours and found T. She asked us to come back later when she
was less tired (she works nights) and we did so. She invited us in and was much
more awake and talkative. She has reservations about reading the Book of Mormon
but agreed to pray about it and consider it. Sister Layton read a beautiful
verse from it that hopefully helped soften her heart to the idea.
We also met a man named D. whom we briefly taught the Restoration at the doorstep. He agreed to have us come back the next day so we could share more with him. Somewhere between the trailer park and the next morning on our exchange I lost my planner though :( I remembered the time and where the apartment was though, but we didn't have his number to confirm our appointment. Thankfully, he was there and he allowed us to come in to share a message with him, his girlfriend D., and their 1-yr old DJ. Nearing the end of explaining more about the Restoration, his girlfriend said she had a copy of the BOM she'd gotten from another pair of sisters. ....What? She went and got it out of her room. ....Coincidence? I think NOT! (" 'Coincidences' are just miracles that God doesn't get credit for.") We're planning on seeing them later this week. :)
We saw O. on Saturday; she has been reading the BOM and praying, but when we invited her to be baptized at the end of this month she said she felt like it was a little soon. She agreed to pray about it though and we'll going back to follow up this weekend.
Yesterday, we went tracting near T. for literally ten minutes in one complex, but in those ten minutes we knocked two doors- the first one didn't answer. At the second door, we met M. and he had never heard of the Book of Mormon before! How is this possible??? We quickly fixed that by giving a brief overview, sharing a verse, giving him his own copy, and scheduling a return appointment. :) He seems really interested and I'm excited to see where his interest takes him!

Its always fun to find your name on a sign!
It's been 3 years since Laurel's last hair donation......
This donation went to Wigs for Kids!
The end result! Should be much easier to get ready and
will be much cooler this summer!
Hola, Hna. Martin! Muchos saludos desde South Jordan. Nos complace a la Hna. Clark y yo leer su mensaje cada semana. Podemos ver que ha llegado a ser una misionera muy buena--con mucha energía, gran fe y un fuerte testimonio. Vemos que el Señor le está poniendo los escogidos en su camino, y que contactan y enseñan con el poder del Espíritu. Sigue adelante con fe y con animo--estos días de la misión son pocos y preciosos! Su nuevo estílo de cabello se ve muy bien!
