Nac attack! Teaching up a storm!

Hey y'all!
I know I'm getting to sound very repetitive, but this week was full of
so many miracles! I guess that's just what missionary work is. :) We
taught 40 lessons this week! We found 8 new investigators, and have 9
baptismal dates! These are record breaking numbers in Nac history! It
was previously a slower area! Not only that, but we are having so much
fun!

Annette: has been reading the Book of Mormon! We watched the
Testaments with her on Saturday and she felt the spirit! She loves
watching church movies!

Debra and Elroy: we tracted into Deborah and Elroy. They are so sweet
and have such strong faith in Jesus Christ! Not sure about the LDS
part of it yet, but they have a baptismal date for August 29th!

Bre and Luv: Bre and Luv are still doing really well. They have a lot
of questions! And they are really searching.

The Phillips family: Kirsten, Terry, and Justin Phillips are referrals
from a less active member we have been working with. They are such a
sweet family! Justin is eight years old and is very smart, he is also
autistic. They have been looking for a stronger purpose in their lives
and feel that they are finding it with the Gospel. They came to church
on Sunday! Their baptismal date is August 29th. They even got the less
active friend, Ruth, to come to church!!!! Ruth cried during sacrament
meeting! The spirit was so strong!

Jessica: Jessica is such a miracle find! She accepted a baptismal date
right away for August 22! She is so excited to change her life and so
ready for it! She has really opened up to us and looks forward to her
new path.

Lilly: Lilly is doing so well, she recognizes the spirit. She came to
church on Sunday! She doesn't have a date yet but we are working
towards it. Change can be scary sometimes.

The Lord is not quite as supportive as it was in the colony with
missionary work, but they are the friendliest most loving word I have
ever met!! We are going to turn them into a missionary minded Ward!
The people here are so humble and lovable! Sister Ricks and I are
loving working together! She is amazing and we get along so well! I
love her so much! We had to go aaaaaallllllllllll the way to Dallas
for mission leadership counsel! The drive was almost four hours each
way and the meeting was five hours. We did all this in one day. =P but
the meeting was really good! It was weird to be back in the city for a
day!
Hope y'all had a great week!
Love,
Sister Jones

Pottery with Ruth!
