Dear Family,
It has been another busy week this week. We have been teaching quite a few people and when it gets to that point it's sometimes hard to keep track of them all, when the appointments are, and what commitments we have left them, and so on. It especially doesn't help when they sometimes forget the appointments that we make with them. We have been working for some time now with a lady named Debra Gray. I may have mentioned her before. We committed her to come to church, and I managed to get a ride for her arranged with our new ward mission leader, who just came off his mission earlier this year. His name is Paul Morgan and I believe that he served in the London mission. We went by at 9:30 in the morning. Her fiance, Conrad, was there and he said that Debra was still in bed. I was disappointed because I thought that maybe she wasn't going to come after all, but then we heard her yelling down the stairs that she would be down in 10 minutes. So we waited outside in the car for her, and she came outside with her niece who had spent the night with her. Debra definitely looked like she had just woken up, but she came to church and enjoyed it and already said she's definitely coming next week.
Another miracle happened with our very favorite eternal investigator, Marilyn. She is a Jehovah's Witness but she had been investigating our church for almost 2 years now. She lives a ways away but we make the effort to go and see her every week. Well while I was gone picking up Debrah with our ward mission leader, Elder DeGraw got a call from Marilyn saying she was coming to church and would be there soon. So including Debra, her niece, and Marilyn we had 3 people at church which was astounding for regular church attendance here. We are already expecting more for next week. We are also going to give Debrah a date for baptism this week as well.
