Hey everyone! Well things have been going great out here - that's for sure! Hope everyone is doing good as well. Well let’s see, we have four baptism dates set for the end of august and beginning of September! First is Jim, we meet Jim by going to the hospital and giving his fiance a blessing, and we started going over to their house every now and then to see how things were going. Well we started to teach Jim and he said he would be baptized. He knows it’s something he needs to do. We’re just working with him to overcome some hurdles and trying to get him to read more, but he’s a great guy. Then there's Laura. We've been teaching Laura off and on for a while now, since I've been in Waycross, but she's been having missionaries over since Jan. Laura and her husband Michael are pretty cool, we haven't been able to teach him as much cuz he's a truck driver so he's gone during the week a lot.
Then we started visiting a member of the ward, Sis. Duke. One night while we were talking to her and her son, she told us she was going to try and get her grand kids all over one night so that we could meet them and try and get them to come to church, they've been somewhat less active lately and she wanted us to get them there again. Well one of her granddaughters is married, and her husband Daniel isn't a member. So after the first night he said he would be interested in learning more. So we started to teach him and he's liked everything this far. He hasn't read too much from the Book of Mormon but already told us that he believes it to be the word of God. It’s so great to see the Spirit work on those that truly desire to know!
And lastly there's Scott - Scott is one of Sis. Dukes granddaughters boyfriend that we've been teaching for a bit now. He's already living basically every commandment that there is, which is really sweet. He loves to joke around so we get along pretty well.
That’s about it for who were teaching at the moment, and they all have baptism dates set! Transfers are next Wednesday and we get the call this Saturday, I'm hoping and praying that I get to stay here for all of that. Nothing much else really, Elder Holland isn't coming to the mission anymore, he has to do something else which kinda stinks, but it’s alright.
Hope everyone is doing good.
Love,
Elder Holcombe
