Good Things Happening in Linden: 11/14/2011

So this past week has been a pretty good one, kinda. There are both ups and downs. the Ups are... that we found a good 5 people that we could baptize next month. WOOHOO!! We were in Hohenwald on thursday, and we found this part member family, and the dad wants to get back into church, and he wants his two lil girls to be baptized :):):)

Another one is _______ ________. She has been taught for awhile by other missionaries, and then she called us about 2 weeks ago wanting a blessing bcuz her health wasnt good. So we gave her a blessing and she felt so much better she said in like 30 mins. haha. And we went overon wednesday and she had her quad out with the gospel principles book out and she was just studying. She told us that if she could just quit smoking, that she would be baptized! :):) 

And then the lady we just baptized last saturday, her husband is now interested. So we could baptize him :) and also, ______ and ______. They just recently got married, and their baby was blessed in church. so we could baptize the dad too :):) 

Lots of good things are happening in Linden. They havent baptized that much here, but we are going to start too! haha. i guess the downs are... that its only the 14th and we only have about 200 miles left haha. It takes us about 45 mins just to get to Hohenwald. and the other missionaries in my district are both 1 hr 30 mins away. so that makes exchanges hard... and district meeting too hahaha. but its all good. 

the Lord works in mysterious ways, bcuz we got a new car about 30 days ago, and our 30 day temp. lisence plate expired. so we cant drive our car until we get the new one haha. so thats a bummer :( and thats kinda hard bcuz we live in the middle on no where... and it takes us 5 miles to get into town.... so that is... no bueno! haha. i got all my winter clothes out :) i need some gloves though, these ones didnt do the trick last winter. i hate that I have bad blood circulation in my hands :( they are always cold hahaha. and idk where we are going to eat at for Thanksgiving yet, hopefully we find some place soon :) all the members just live so far from our trailer, but we will find a place. i love yall!! stay safe!!

Peace out Girl Scouts.
