This week was great! Tuesday we had interviews and then we watched the BYU devotional with President Nelson, it was a great devotional, if you guys haven't watched it I would recommend it. Wednesday was amazing! We had a church tour with Cleo (the guy who speaks swamp) when we showed up to the church brother brooks was there with his son and 3 boys, they were just finishing up a game of football. We started talking to them and the 3 kids were not members, but their mom is, brother brooks asked if they could join the tour and we said yes! Once Cleo got there and the tour started we went around showed them some of the rooms, when we came to the baptismal font and explained a little bit about baptism the 3 boys almost simultaneously all said " I wanna get baptized" me and elder Meredith were surprised to say the least, when we got to the chapel we went in and we asked all 4 of them on the tour along with brother brooks and his son to find a spot where you could ponder, pray, and feel the spirit, about 5 minutes in brother brooks suggested that we sing a song so brother brooks, his son, elder Meredith, and I all started to sing come follow me, the spirit was so strong!! We went to the sacrament table and explained the sacrament once we finished elder Meredith and I both looked at each other and decided we should invite them to be baptized, so we invited them for October 12th and the 3 boys said yes! We looked at Cleo and he said "little steps little steps" we explained a little more and he said he'd try to be ready by that date.
On Friday & Saturday we brought white shirts and ties to the 3 boys so that they could fit in at church, but other than that not too much happened
On Sunday elder Meredith and I gave talks, so that was cool I guess, the boys came to both hours of church and they loved it! We have a lesson with them tonight
Well that was my week, Foley is amazing!
Love and miss you all!
