Dearest Family,
The work is continuing to press on and Sister Cady and I are having way too much fun with this whole mission thing :D
I'm so excited to see how many more missionaries are going to also
have this wonderful experience! our mission president took us aside at
zone conference and told us that there are going to be some major
changes happening here in chattanooga. (and this was even before the
announcement was made. so now i'm sure it's even going to be bigger
changes!) so we are preparing and are excited to find out what these
changes are! All we know right now is that there are going to be more
missionaries than areas in our next transfer. WOW. so they are going to
be opening up new areas. it's so exciting.
Update about Lashaunda. She is getting baptized November 6!
originially it was going to be the 10th but there is a huge YSA
conference and so people in the branch would be gone and unable to
attend the baptism for support. So we talked with our mission president
and he okayed the 6th. Lashaunda was so excited to move up the date. she
is so prepared and so ready to take this step. She even is singing with
us in the stake choir! cool right? She is such a sweetheart.
New investigator with a baptismal date. His name is Richard and he
found us at the library. He came up to us and asked us about a book he
was reading. We had no idea. Then I asked him if he really enjoyed
reading and then we introduced the Book of mormon to him. At first he
looked turned off when we said "mormon" but then before we knew it, he
was sitting down with us and we gave him the first discussion! He was
very interested. When we testified of the Book of Mormon he said, "Well
it makes sense.It's plain and simple" and then we met with him again and
talked about the gospel of jesus christ. We testified of the Holy Ghost
and he said, "I really need that." So we invited him to be baptized and
he said yes! The Lord's hand was definitely involved in those lessons
and we pray that he will continue to progress. The work is truly
progressing and we are so excited.
Well family. I'm sorry I don't have much time today. SOrry! I love you all! have a happy halloween and stay safe!!!
love your daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, (i don't really know who is reading this, but you are loved!)
Sister Preston!!!!!
