Alright! Here we go!
So Cory's baptism is TOMORROW!! SO EXCITED for that! Miracles are happening like crazy out here! Like they always do :) Cory is so prepared and things are going smoothe! Finally :)
Last night I got the best phone call! So we're working with this less active named Eric Morris. I think I mention him in my last bulk. He's a great guy. Stubborn, but great! So he had a meeting with the bishop last night "to confess" things and what have you. So he gives me a call and he says "sister Orawiec, this next month I really want you to push me and do what ya gotta do to get me on the right track and help me to know that these things are true." I kinda just sat there and I said "what? say that again?" " You WANT me to actually bug you and push you?" "Hold the phone!" Who asks that? People usually try to get rid of us if anything! He said "I met with the bishop and there's a temple trip coming up in January and he wants me to prepare myself to go. And since you're a little fireball (he calls me sparky) I know that you can get me there. But I need your help. If i'm feeling lazy and not wanting to do things, you have got to push me! You're so passionate and DON'T take no for an answer. So will you do that?" I was in shock! I said "Heck yeah! I'd love that job!" Best phone call! You WANT me to bug you? You WANT me to push you? You WANT to go to the temple? You WANT to know these things are true!? HECK YEAH I'LL HELP YOU!! It was the coolest thing ever! He says that "you just don't find Mormons like me" Ha, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But whatever helps him. I'm here to serve! So that was a cool miracle.
Casandra Deck is getting baptized on October 3rd in between conference sessions. So we'll have 2 baptism in a week and a half! Sweet! I love being a missionary! That's the most exciting things that are going on. I played a little trick on one of my Zone Leaders. Elder Lowry. He has a great singing voice but he's really shy about it. He always likes to give me a hard time about things so I thought I'd pay him back. So I got Cory in on it. I had Cory ask him to sing a solo at his baptism HAHAHA The look on Elder Lowry's face was priceless! Right after Cory asked him, he looked right at me and glared. He said "this is your doing isn't it?" I said "Why would you assume that" Then I of course started laughing. At first it was a joke, but now he's really going to do it. We all have to intertain ourselves somehow. He'll get me back I'm sure.
Well I love you all!
