9/24/2014 LOAIZA IS READY

Hola everyone!

Sorry for the lack of email last week, and the shortness of this one. Last monday, we offered to help a guy move, and ended up being over their all monday, so no time to write last week, and we had to get double things done this week to make up for it, so left little time to write, sorry, highlights!

Sister Bailey is doing amazing! She has been going strong quiting smoking! She has also been reading and praying every day, and I can not say how much better she looks (not physically, but she's smiling, laughing, and just looks at peace, which never has happened as long as I've known her). Chris is in a pride cycle of thinking since things have been going so well lately (interestingly correlated to his moves to get closer to God), he "doesn't really need God anymore, so thats been sad to see, but we hopes he breaks out of it. We met a lady named Annie who is AMAZING. Her husband was a baptist preacher, but he passed away a few years ago. She is super knowledgeable about the Bible though, and is really excited to read the BoM. Also, she's just a total blast to be around.

Finally, I'm not sure if many of y'all remember Loaiza, but she is getting baptized on saturday! She has worked really hard for this, and has a rock solid testimony to prove it. She is excited, and I am just stoked beyond all reason! Between her and sister Bailey, it has been really neat these last two weeks seeing the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ at work. Both of these single mothers have been through situations I couldn't imagine having to suffer through. They have every right to be depressed and angry because of it, and yet, since they have decided to lay their problems they have suffered at the feet of our Saviour. Peace and joy have crept into their lives bit by bit, until they have completely changed outlooks, and become a light for others to follow. The Gospel works y'all! LOVE Y'ALL!!!
