February 11th 2009

What a fantastic week! Things are really looking up here in Harrisonburg. We had a Zone Meeting and got some good counsel from our new Zone leaders. We also had the wonderful opportunity to have a Sister's Meeting on Monday. ALL 29 of the sisters who are serving here in VA got together and the mission president was there and we discussed all kinds of matters. Questions, concerns, etc... But the best part was, is we had it in my old area YORKTOWN!!! Man it was SO good to be back there. It was a 5 hour drive to get there but it was TOTALLY worth it! I wasn't able to see anyone but just being there was amazing! I got to see a lot of sisters that I've served with though, so that was a lot of fun!
Ok on to so AWESOME news! WE set Angie Harris for baptism yesterday! It was amazing! Her date is for Feb 28, 2009! EXCITING!!! We also had another lesson with Cindy which went really well. She's getting on the right track. We almost set here too :) There was a relief Society enrichment that night as well and we got both Angie and Cindy to come! They bonded really well and really hit things off. They seemed to really enjoy being with all the sisters in the ward. We have teaching appointments with both of them this Friday. Cindy's is at 11 and Angie's is at 2. But Angie wanted to come to Cindy's lesson then have hers still later! Awesome stuff! We also got a phone call last week and there's a 21 year old girl who just moved here from Fredicksburg who has already received all the lessons and wants to be baptized. Now that she's moved here though her friends are really working on her and telling her she's crazy for wanting to be a Mormon. So we're meeting with her today and get her back on track. And if she thinks about not wanting to be baptized anymore we'll just rebuke her and share the scripture in 2 Nephi 31:14 hehehe She knows it's all true. We just gotta get her out of Satan's grasp.
We also have our Zone Conference tomorrow which should be a lot of fun. My new companion is great. She's really nice. But quiet. We're working on breaking her out of her shell. We have a lot of people we're teaching and around 13 we're wanting to set for baptism. The work is going great! I'm loving every second. Thank you so much for all your love and support!
I love you all
