Wow I really can't believe it has been over a week since I emailed last week. There is a saying that is going around the mission and mission time is like a roll of toilet paper it goes by slow at the beginning, but by the end it goes really fast. Then before you know it, it is gone! That is exactly how I feel right now. I thought my mission started fast, and now it is going at the speed of light. IT IS NUTS!! Ok I think I'm done wigging out for now...This week was GREAT!! On Monday we were able to teach Leanne Quesenberry. She married into this less-active family on Christmas Eve, and a couple weeks ago she asked us how she and Timmy could be sealed. PERFECT!! When the temple is their goal they will take the steps they need to to get there. I'm really excited. We were going to teach her the Plan of Salvation on this past Monday, but she and Timmy both had to work. So, we should be teaching her tonight, and we are planning to set a day for her baptism. I'm really excited for her! We also met with Jim and Patsy last week. They are GREAT. Patsy is really opening up to the idea that Joseph Smith really could have been a prophet. When we were there last week she said there really is no way he (Joseph Smith) could have written the Book of Mormon. EXACTLY!! We are excited to meet with them again next week. The Bishop and his wife want to have them into their home for a lesson. EVEN BETTER!! I'm really excited about them!We did get some sad news. Ember said she doesn't want to get baptized anymore. She said she wanted to once but that desire slipped away. We are going to meet with her again on Sunday, and the APs are coming. I'm excited that the APs will be there. They are great missionaries and I really believe that Ember will feel the Spirit again and she will be ready for baptism.That is our news for this week. I LOVE YOU ALL!!
