Oakley - Dokley


Well, its been a pretty crazy week. But not near as crazy as this week is going to be. But anyways, this is a really cool story. So we were biking on Sat. and ended up riding 12 miles. Alot was on accident. The guy we went to see wasn't home. But! Blessings come from sacrifice. We were out looking for people (and since it was State Fair week NO ONE was home). So after alot of unsuccess (basically this whole week cause of the fair) we started to get a little discouraged. When all of a sudden, Brother Anhder (our ward mission leader in View 1st ward) calls us with the greatest news ever."Hey missionaries, I have some great news for ya""Awesome Brother Ahnder, that's my favorite kind of news. What's up?""Well, there's a girl here, who is getting adopted into an LDS family. She has already received the lessons and has been going to church for several months now. Well, she wants to be baptized before this Sat so she can go to the temple dedication with her family. I called your Mission President and we got permission to do it as early as Thursday"[this was the point were Elder Tanner and my heads exploded due to shear excitement and amazement]So we started teaching the next day. We went back yesterday and combined two lessons. It was crazy. Today she has her interview, and her baptism is Thursday. HOORAY! Well, I must be off. Stories like this really prove to me that D&C 4 is absolutely true. I love you all.
