Hi. There really isn't anything monumental to tell you about. We are
doing our thing. We get up, we exercise, we study (and Sister Nay can
hardly sit still.. It cracks me up.) We have lunch, we go out and teach
and serve all day, and we get home with enough energy to "plan" and then
we totally crash, exhausted beyond belief.
We have a woman, Susie Honeycut, who is awesome. She has been around
LDS people forever, but is just now in a position to hear and accept
the gospel. We connect with her so well. She does home care for and LDS
man, and they read, discuss, and pray about the Book of Mormon everyday!!!!
Hooray!! The only reason she can't come to church is because she is the
only person who's not LDS who works at the house. She is waiting for
another gal to get back from the hospital, so she can come, and then be
baptized. All we are waiting on is the other lady to get better, so
please pray for her recovery, and that Susie will be able to work things
out. But, here's a cool thing, Susie has received the Sacrament a good
number of times at the house with Bob, the man she takes care of.
There is another investigator, Jamie, who we were working with a
while ago, but she kinda dropped off the face of the planet. We were
finally able to get back in the door with her, and she is so excited to
have us back in her life. She said this week that she was not going to
flip flop between churches anymore. Everything in the LDS church makes sense
and feels right. No more wishy-washy. From now on, she considers herself Mormon. LOVE IT!!! But we are having a hard time getting her to church
as well. We have rides, but she backs out at the last moment. Please
pray that her desire to come will overpower her Sunday blues or
concerns.
The other big thing from the week was Judy. She is a less-active
lady who gets her feeling hurt easily. She is one stubborn lass. She had
knee surgery recently, and we came by to see her. She has been sick for
YEARS with a number of things, and has not been able to clean her
house. Plus she has 4 HUGE dogs. If an inspector went to the home, they
would condemn it. She wanted us to just sit and talk, but we insisted on
cleaning while we talked. She was peeved at first, but by the end of
it, she had a number of walls broken down, and we were totally in with
her. SO EXCITED!!! How bad was this house? There was literally 1/4
inch of dust on everything, and the counter-top in the kitchen was not
visible. No exaggeration there.
Well, I love you all, I have to run!
My prayers are with you!
Love,
Sister Wilkins
