Oh man. It was a great week!

John and Kelly Morgan came to church again this week. We had a great lesson with them on Thursday. We took them on a church tour even though they have been to church many times now. The mission is focusing on the tours and there is a specific outline on how to do them. We took them from the foyer to the chapel to the font room (relief society room). And after showing them the font we set up some chairs and talked with them for awhile. It was a great tour. And the lesson that followed was perfect. As far as the Morgans go I guess. We actually set a baptismal date with them! Septermber 28th! It was so so good to be able to set that with them. It's a huge step for them to even set the goal. And it's almost 2 months away too! But they move really slowly. They can get there. It will give them a reason to find out it's true because their baptism is coming up! John needs motivation to find answers. Kelly needs the ability to recognize the answers that she is receiving. They both have made huge strides individually, as a couple and as a family. Really really excited for them.

We also saw Mike Foster this week. He's so close too he just has to get over anxieties that are holding him back. Mostly because he feels like it will be awkward when he goes to church. He doesn't feel like he knows what to do when he walks in the building. But he is committed to read the whole Book of Mormon and asks questions like "How can my family prepare to go to the temple?" and "Can I serve a mission with my wife?" He really really wants it all it's just hard to be a pioneer. No one in his family is LDS. Poor guy! It would make it so much easier. His wife (member) came to church again this week.

Our area got split. So Elder Hansen will be receiving Elder Hatch (lucky guy) and he will just serve in the Meadow Springs ward (lucky guy) and Elder Tays will serve in the Willowbrook ward with Elder Meyer. Pretty cool.

Well. I guess I'll see you tomorrow. So I'll just stop emailing now.

You probably wanted more feelings and emotion and all that stuff in this email... Sorry. Just ask me tomorrow :)

Love,

Elder Paxman
