Weekly update 3/5/2012

Hello!
>
> This week has been a good week in Rossendale valley. Sian has accepted
> another date to be baptised on the 30th of March. As well we taught
> Sarah and Tom on Wednesday, they are doing great, so great that they
> both have accepted baptism, they haven’t accepted dates yet but we
> told them we would bring a calendar to them so they can prayerfully
> choose a date.

> This week I was able to go on exchange with Elder Saunders, from
> Colorado. He is a really good missionary. He is very personable and
> kind to the people he speaks to. I was able to learn quite a bit from
> his example. On Wednesday, we had the lesson with Sarah and Tom. We
> reviewed the gospel of Jesus Christ, the last lesson we taught, with
> them. After reviewing about baptism I felt so strongly to invite them
> both to baptism, and then they accepted. Then Lee Simcock extended a
> commitment for them to pick a day. We told them that we would bring a
> baptismal calendar to help them pick a day.
>
> On Sunday, Tom showed a lot of initiative by taking the bus by himself
> to church. Lee, his good friend, was not going to be able to make it
> but tom came anyway! Tom and Sarah have also been going to institute
> with Lee. They are just make great progress.
