C Falls Transfer Three Week Four

C Falls Transfer Three Week Two

This week was really exciting. We set a baptismal date with Jennifer Burgess (She was the member referral family) for October and her whole family came to church this week. We have been trying to be able to sit down and teach the husband as well but havent been able to yet. Hopefully his attendance at church will open him up to us a little more. I am really excited for them. They have truly been prepared by the Lord to hear His gospel. I absolutely love this area and the people we meet here. Lately I have had alot of time to study the Book of Mormon and I truly love this book. I am so thankful for all those who sacrificed so much so that we could have it. Thank you all for your letters and especially nana and papa for the orange rolls. i was so excited to get them. theyre almost gone already. love you all.
