Happy Memorial Day! 

I hope you are all having a wonderful and safe holiday! What with the library and universities closed we're here at a member's house emailing!

This weekend we had three baptisms! Jer and  Au (mom and 8 year old son) and 9 year old Pa! Everything was beautiful and worked out so wonderfully! All of them were in the same ward, so the ward was super excited!

Well, My (on date for June 9th) did not come to church yesterday.... something weird is going on... she told her roommate (a recent convert) that she didn't want to come to church and that she was not sure anymore about baptism... :( Uh oh... no worries. We'll figure it out.

We have a super cute family that we are currently teaching, Via (mom) and three kids Sig, Illa, and Cee. They are praying for a date for baptism, and are all so excited to be baptized!! (except poor Cee: she's 6). Our last lesson with them Via told us that she wants her husband to meet with missionaries someday so that he can be baptized and they can all go to the Temple and be sealed together! My heart leaped for joy when she said that! Their whole little family is so amazing and just ready for this Gospel. Please keep them in your prayers... right now she is playing "single mom" while her husband awaits his release from prison... it's rough for her and the kids, but they have been prepared for this message. Oh how I love this family!

Ro and Be are a new couple that we have started teaching. They are so fun and very sincere about learning about this Gospel. (again, I'm sorry for any repeats if I've already told you about them...) yesterday after church we set up a time to take them to the Temple Visitor's Center.... we're hoping that they will get married soon...the lesson in Sunday School was on marriage and Eternal Families and they had GREAT comments! They just want to do the right thing for them and their future family. They are awesome!!

I feel some pretty great baptisms coming up soon! :D

Anyway, I have to go...but know that I love you so much! ALL OF YOU!!! 
HURRAH! HURRAH! HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!!
