"Behold, I will hasten my work in its time" (D&C 88:73)

The Lord is indeed hastening His work! What more can I say than that? Things are really, really exciting right now. Not only are the members super supportive and really starting to trust us, but new investigators and potential investigators are beginning to pop up where we least expected them. I don't have much time to tell all the events of this week, but I'd like to mention a couple of special highlights:

One non-member husband in a part-member family invited us over to help him split wood this last Saturday. We worked for about 3 hours, and then he fed us lunch and gave us a tour of his entire farm. Without us even bringing up the gospel, he asked us to teach him the lessons. 

A young woman who lives across the hallway from (and is good friends with) a young couple in our ward, agreed to meet with us at the suggestion of her member friend. We taught her last night; it was a long but very powerful and spiritually moving lesson. She accepted a baptismal date right then and there. It was an incredible feeling! I haven't been able to teach like that in quite a while. 

In PEC yesterday morning, we discussed the 67 prospective elders on the ward list, most of which are inactive. Our goal is to bring back 7 of them in the near future. This is an amazing work to be a part of, and although it saddens me to think that I only have a couple of months to be a full-time servant of the Lord, I know that the work will continue when I go home. I'll just play a different part. The Lord has a work for each of us to do, as He told Moses in the first chapter of the Pearl of Great Price. I love being a part of this! There's lots of work to be done. =]

Love,
