so yeah, the sad news of the week is [P] didn't get baptized :( she went with her mom for christmas and her mom won't bring her back and wont' let her be baptized :( it just about broke our hearts, but all we can do is pray for her. it's out of our hands. on the up side, [D] is getting so close!! i can feel it. he's been asking his wife about the temple so we had a lesson on eternal marriage and asked if he'd prepare to be sealed to his family. he didn't say yes, but then he opened up a LOT more than ever. he really has had spiritual experiences in the past, and i know if he just humbles himself to pray, and makes that decision, he could be baptized like THAT. it was a great lesson because i truly felt the spirit guiding us. i have a good feeling. i just keep praying his heart will be softened!! i think the highlight of my mission would be to see [D] baptized and then to drive back up here in a year to see the [S’s] sealed. i feel like he's the reason the Lord sent me back to maple valley. the next day, sister [S] said, "so what did you think about the missionaries last night?" "i've been thinking a lot...they gave me lots to think about" "so when can i count on you getting baptized" "i need just a little time" which is more than he's ever said!! sister [S] was just beaming at church. she feels it's close too. ah it's the best.
well i love you all so much!! thanks for making it a wonderful christmas for me! don't forget to sing auld lang syne!! i'll think of you all, lots of love,
liz
