This week has been so amazingly fabulous! Elder Allen and I were able to set two baptismal dates with Daivon and Devonta an we're going to be setting another one with their mom on Tuesday! Daivon is a friend of the Woods, and we met him at the library when we went to teach Tyler and Joey a quick lesson. I asked if Daivon wanted to learn more about the Church and he said yes! It's awesome because he already comes to mutual with Tyler and Joey and he loves it, so now we just need to get him coming to church and loving that too!
We also found a wonderful middle-eastern lady named Dahria, who just last year converted to Christianity and has a lot of questions about the Bible, Jesus Christ, and now the Book of Mormon. We're going back to teach her on Wednesday about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Sandy and Ron came to church yesterday! They were found because of a service opportunity that presented itself through Sister Phillips, one of the most wonderful people on the planet. We went to help Ron rake his leaves back in November because of his bad back, and talked to him a little bit about the Atonement. Elder Allen and I invited him this last week to come to church (Elder Allen was speaking) and they both came and LOVE IT! Sandy said that she knew this was where she needed to be, and was apparently crying all throughout Relief Society according to Sister Phillips. Ron had some great input in Elder's Quorum, and we're doing to dinner at the Phillips' home to teach them about the Restoration as well!
Things are picking up here in Waukesha, which is evidence to me that if you just get out and work, that's when stuff happens. Hard work is the key to achieving your dreams. If you want something, get to it and make it happen. I just think of the cliche phrase that says, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." How true that is! We don't need to prove ourselves to anyone but ourselves! If we are better than we were yesterday, then the day was a success and you are well on your way.
I love each and every one of you!
--Elder T. Riggs
