Another great week in Childress, Texas! We had several lessons with Bill this week. We taught him the word of wisdom and he said he is willing to live it! We aren't quite sure how committed he is though. He is reading the Book of Mormon but said he would come to church and the devotional last night and he didn't :(
Monday night we drove to Canyon to sleep over with the STL's for zone conference on Tuesday in Amarillo. It was great as usual! Then we had exchanges back in Canyon Tuesday night and Wednesday. We have some great STL's! They are in a trio as well so it was a three way exchange! Canyon doesn't know what hit them! Wednesday night we drove back to Childress (about 2 1/2 hours).
Friday we spent the majority of the day helping out at the food pantry then we drove to Memphis and had 2 great lessons!! We got to meet with the Moore's (part member family) and teach them the restoration using blocks (for the kids) and it was great! They had committed to come to church as well but didn't make it :( We also got to teach Adam that night! He is doing SOOOO awesome!!! He read the chapter we left him several times and also said several prayers this week!! We asked him if he has felt like his faith has increased since we started meeting and he without hesitation said "yes" confidently! Teaching someone like that is so rewarding!! He makes the whole 18 months worth it!! We get so excited every time he texts us! He works 7 days a week on a ranch but he said he would ask his boss for next Sunday morning off so he can come to church!! We are so pumped!! He also accepted the invitation to be baptized on January 27th!!! (that is if he feels he receives an answer to his prayers by then). That was definitely the most exciting part of the week!
We have been participating in and sharing #lighttheworld like crazy!! I really hope y'all are too! It is such a great way to feel the spirit even more in your everyday life! I am sure y'all have already seen it but if not go watch and participate right now! https://www.mormon.org/
