Too Legit to Quit : Week 10: What Do I Need to Do To Get Baptized?

So this week has been an interesting one. We met with some new people this week. S is amazing and is working towards baptism. She has a very deep and has a personal relationship with the Savior. The only thing she really has problems with is the Word of Wisdom. Getting her to quit smoking will be hard but she already knows and feels bad about doing it. We had a lesson with her at the church and have committed her to going to church consistently. Saturday she said her brother in law had a freak accident and died while in the middle of driving his car at 3 in the morning. We are trying to keep her in our prayers. But the more I'm in Kentucky, the more I learn that people make up stories to get out of things. This could possibly be this situation here. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt. Please pray for her that everything will work out and she will come to church and continue progressing.

T Is a awesome guy we met after his father passed away. His dad was a member of the church. We helped his family get their cremated dad. The family's bills were adding up and they didn't have the money to pay off the cremation. A few ward members cut a deal with the crematory and they got their dad's remains back. They got a discounted rate and a more manageable monthly payment so everything worked out. Anyways, we have been in contact with him. They family loved their dad and they were humbled to know we were willing to help them get his remains. T's dad always wanted him to learn about the Book of Mormon but he never listened until he was dead. He was too busy or too tired after getting home from work like most people are. They wanted to learn and we wanted to teach so it worked out. T is progressing and he straight up asked us in the second lesson what he needs to do to get baptized. We are helping him get there and making sure he actually knows what that means Haha.

But yeah, that's been our week. Please pray for the people in Kentucky and all the missionaries. Pray that the people will be sustained in their struggles. It is really hard out here. Missionary work is the hardest thing because we are trying to change people's lives. That's not an easy thing. Pray for all the people who are being taught and foe the missionaries teaching. Also, pray for the members in the area, that they may be better with their own missionary work as members. We have been asked to help teach and spread the gospel. Full time missionary or not, it doesn't matter. We all need to just share the gospel. When you as a member, talk to your friends. It helps us missionaries out a lot.

I love y'all so much and I pray for every one of you. I truly love you. God loves you. Don't ever forget that. Continue to maintain that testimony and pray to know how much God loves you because it can slip away just as any testimony can slip away if we don't nourish it.

Have a blessed week!
