Good morning Dixon family!
Man I can't believe that we are tied for 2nd with medals and its good to see that China isn't up there :P
So if i understand correctly the basement flooded from the side door because the drain wasn't working correctly?
And one of Keims daughters is a member, she was baptized when brother Johnson was coming back to church.
sorry to hear that the car is acting up again, it never seems to not have a problem.
I hope you can find out what the problem is soon.
This
week went really well. Keim was Baptized!!!!, and that was the biggest
high light of the week, it went great, allot of the ward members where
there to support her, and we are very grateful that the ward is good at
fellow shipping people into the church. I'll send a picture with the
email.
We also had another cool experience, on Thursday
we went tracking in the morning and had some plans lined up after lunch
and none of them worked out or they fell through. So we decided to go
and track the street over from where we tracked in the morning and we
got about 5 houses down the street when this older man invited us in. I
didn't expect that happening since this has only happen a couple of
times on my mission and most of the time people just want to bash with
us, but when we got in he called to his wife and said that there is
someone here to see her. When this happened I was confused and
didn't know what was going on, so his wife comes in and greets us with a
warm smile and hand shake and invites us to sit down. We started
talking and we found out that they are members of the church that moved
from St.Charles in December and they haven't been to church yet, and
they asked us who sent us to knock on their door; we just told them
that we just decided to tract on that street, so they where really
shocked to hear that. They are really nice people, the Ericksons are
their names. One of the reasons that they haven't been to church yet is
because she is a care giver and works on the weekends and Sundays. She is trying to switch her hours so that she can come to church, so
that was a really neat experience to have.
We had another awesome thing happen as well (hope you don' mind the long email) we meet with Abdur on Tuesday
and talked about baptism with him and his thoughts about it, and he
does want to be baptized but he told us some of his concerns and his
biggest concern is trying so stop smoking. He knows that it isn't
good but he has been smoking for along time and recently he as been
cutting back, and we left him with some scriptures to read when we left.
Then yesterday we went over after dinner and set a date for him to be
baptized, and that is going to be for the 29th of March!!!, We are so excited for it and he is too, along with his wife who is a
member, she was really shocked when she came into the room and we told
her about the baptism date.
So this past week was pretty awesome! I love being a missionary and being able to see people accept the gospel :D
Love you all-Elder Jacob Dixon
