Week Eighty-One:  Get Ready for Round Two! [February 11, 2019]

Hi Everyone!  

This week has been pretty great! It hasn't rained nearly as much as it did before, so that was a nice change. I like the rain, but it does make things harder. 

We've been able to work with Jason more this week as he prepares to be baptized this Saturday! (The 16th). He's made a lot of progress since we first started teaching him! On Saturday he went to a baptism in the YSA ward so he could see what kind of stuff happens at a baptismal service! He also had his baptismal interview on Sunday and he passed! We're really excited for him and this step that he is making in his life! 

On Wednesday we were walking around and a vehicle pulled up to us! We were excited to see that inside was our old friend Dizi! For those of you who don't remember Dizi is an Albanian lady that we're teaching and probably one of the nicest people I know. We haven't been able to work with her lately because she's been sick a lot, but she's better now. When we were talking we set a teaching appointment for that night! We talked about baptisim since she's preparing to be baptized in April! She also came to the YSA baptism and loved it! 

We taught Bob again this week, but it was kinda hard to keep him on topic. We have another lesson this week so we'll see how that goes!

We got some exciting news this week that both Elder NeSmith and I will be staying here in Camarillo! Since Jason is getting baptized this week it is going to be nice! Also we've been seeing lots of things pick up so we're excited to see what this next transfer has in store! 

Have a great week!
