Well. Sister Saunders is gone, so life is much quieter. Not that she was loud or anything, but there's only two of us now...and we miss her. But she will be awesome up in Purdue with the YSA (young single adults).
But we're also excited to revamp things. We're branching out and getting a lot of new investigators. Yesterday the bishop boldly called the ward members to give at least one hour a month to missionary work, so we're really excited for the good things that will come from that.
It's kinda crazy how bad things always seem to happen to those trying to accomplish good things in their life. P, who's been being taught for years, really wants to get baptized, yet his memory's kinda shot (because of a couple strokes), so it's hard. A little while ago somebody said something about the Priesthood having been restored and he said, "I didn't know it was missing." Even though we talked about it for the previous two lessons. But recently he lost his wallet in Chicago, his dog ran away (but then came back), he fell and twisted his knees badly, and then a car he was working on fell on him. But he's okay. And wants to be baptized. Teaching him can be uber frusterating, but it's also great 'cause he's so funny! But we're not actually sure if he knows he funny or not, so we try really hard to control our laughter. He's a good man, and we're hoping he can get baptized soon.
We also went to an Apostolic church yesterday. That was quite an adventure. It was much louder than I was used to, but it was great to see people with such great enthusiasm for their Savior. And they were all super friendly. Good stuff.
We've had some great adventures with random people, tracting in the rain (although I call it "attracting" 'cause we're trying to attract people to their salvation ;) and it sounds happier)
That's all I've got for today, I s'pose.
"Look to God and live" <--now there's some good advice ;)
Much love!
Sister Bowen
