Blossoms Everywhere

Special thanks for your letters. I have many true friends in the St. George 4th Ward. Your testimonies lift me even more than you can know.

What a blessing. We were able to have a lesson with member participation and a woman named Nijole. Then she and the member came to church on their own. Yay! We love members! We love members!

Wow. This week we had three lessons with member participation. Members make such a wonderful difference. They have a special ability to relate to our investigators. They can often share personal experiences which help.

We had a miracle 3-new-investigator night. After a lesson, we had a really short of time left to harvest. We relied on the spirit to know whether to harvest where we were or somewhere else. We felt that we should harvest near our home. We don't often to this because we know that most buildings have been knocked fairly recently, but we were let right into the first door we knocked. There was a nice elderly couple and a grand daughter who let us come in and visit. We were able to testify simply and in unity of the restoration. How great is our call.

Our progressing investigators right now are Egle, Nijole, and Rasa. We have been able to start having member presents with each of them. Truly this is the Lord's work. As the spirit has touched them (especially through prayer and church attendance) they are starting to have an increased desire to courageously follow the example of Jesus Christ.

There will be a baptism this Saturday of a woman I contacted back in September. We hope that all three of our investigators will be able to attend. It was a great week, and our work was blessed by the teaching and training we received while attending the Sisters' Conference in Riga.
