Hey fam, and Friends,
Send me letters I want more ha ha. Thanks to all those who did send me letters.
Olney is picking up a bit. We have probably the worlds best ward mission leader. He gives everything he has to this calling despite the fact he has three kids and the oldest is 5 and
mentally handicap. He is a big part of the success we are beginning to see.
We are teaching a woman named Christy she has 5 kids all girls they are 10-6-4-2-1 wow! She is a good mom the house is crazy can you imagine 5 girls in one house! its amazing to me. Well she is keeping up with her reading so thats good. She is coming to church with us the first sunday she can sadly that isn't until august 17th!! She is going on vacation i just hope her family is not anti. As long as she reads she will be ok cause the lord will bless her.
Next is Matt he is 19 and is intrested in our church because he has seen how it blesses the life of his girlfriend who is in our ward. He is a good guy and went to church sunday so thats exciting. We will continue to teach him and i'm sure he will do great. I am very hopefull that he will be baptised.
Next is a lady who is about sixty, but honestly looks 45 she is way cool. She is somewhat seventh day adventast. But not so much. Her dad died recently and prayed to know where he was. She told us this right after we taught the plan of salvation. So she prayed us there. She is keeping her commiments she will take a while but i think she will be baptised it just might be a bit.
Despite these investigators we are still tracting alot cuase we don't have much of a teaching pool. we tracted six and a half hours monday and despite the distance and time as long as you stay focused on the work, Christ, and scriptures you have the spritit with you and keeps the spirit with you. The lord watches out for you as you do these things by giving us water people to talk to and lightening our steps so its good. I love my Heavenly Father and know the Book of Mormon is true everything we ever needed is in that book so use it!
I love you all
elder medina
