Are y'all excited about Thanksgiving?

Hello everyone!

Aren't y'all excited about Thanksgiving? I know I am because we have multiple dinners planned and promised leftovers coming our way too!

Some of the highlights for this week: Brannon Mullins and his family came to church together for the first time EVER! Brannon fit in so well. If we hadn't announced to everyone that he was getting baptized on the 14th, everyone would have assumed he had been a member for years! Through his interest and now found love in the gospel, he is helping to reactive his Father who was converted about 5 years ago or so. He's an awesome guy! He used to live in California and is good friends with Led Zepplin and other famous rock stars! By the way, did I tell y'all that Brannon asked me to baptize him? I'm so excited! This is the first time ever having the opportunity! I can't wait!

We found a few new golden investigator this week whose name is Gary Gast. He has a beautiful river side property with multiple boats and a house built by himself! He's a devoted Baptist, but interested in comparing the Bible with the Book of Mormon. We also met a woman named Daphne awhile back. She is reading the Book of Mormon and said she has had the missionaries and going to church heavily on her mind. She is truly one prepared daughter of God. She has had many surgeries and sicknesses in her life that has brought her close to God. She has a wonderful family too. She loved the Lord. We felt prompted to go visit her after appointments falling through the past few weeks. She said we were an answer to her prayers as we caught her painting her garage all by herself feeling overwhelmed. So we ripped off our ties, pulled up our long sleeves and got painting! She could not believe how willing we were to serve her even in our white shirts and ties. She committed to read the Book of Mormon once more and to schedule another time to talk about the Restoration. She is such a wonderful woman, promising that she would give us Thanksgiving leftovers, sweatshirts to wear if ever cold outside, and drinks whenever were in the neighborhood.

The Lord truly is preparing his children to hear his gospel. I am so grateful to be a part of this work and to see hearts softened and lives changed by our heavenly Father.

Have a great Thanksgiving y'all! Til next time!
