Oh my goodness. Summer is finally coming to an end.
THANK GOODNESS! No more vacations! No more crazy schedules!
The only down side is less busy mornings. But I'm sure we'll find a
way to fill them up. Sister Ketring and I stay pretty busy. :)
Um.... I forgot my planner, so it's hard to remember what
went on this week...
Ooh! We have some (more) new people to teach!
So, the first person we're going to start teaching is this 7-year old
named David Pitt. His mom, Tera, is starting to be active, and David
wants to be baptized, but since he hasn't grown up in primary or anything, the
bishop wants us to teach him. He is such a super sweet kid, sort of a
ladies charmer. He loves to flirt! Cute, good kid. :)
Also, the Martin girls are going to start inviting their
friend over to their lessons. So, originally, the Martin girls were
supposed to return to their mother with summer ending, but the parents ended up
switching around their custody arrangements, and so now they're staying for the
school year! This is a huge blessing, because we were worried that if
they went back to their mom, they wouldn't be ale to take the lessons anymore,
and it's still looking iffy on if they can be baptized or not. But
apparently, mom is coming up to "assess" the living situation.
So we might be able to get permission from her this next week.
Anyways, we went to teach the girls last night, and they invited their
friend, Emma over, and Emma's parents were okay with her coming over!
Emma's dad works with some LDS people, so apparently he's pretty
impressed by his co-workers. The martins plan to invite Emily's family to
church soon, so it's super exciting!
We didn't get to teach the Stinchcombs this week (Josh and
Evan), because of school starting, but we should be back to teaching them this
week.
Um..... oh! We're starting to teach the Marsalas the
New member discussions. They were baptized the Saturday before Sister
Ketring and I got here. Since Nick had to be in Twin Falls for work, we
got to focus on Stephanie and talked about the Book of Mormon. We
committed her to finish reading the Book of Mormon by the end of the year, and
we're going to read it with her.
Anyways, I think that's it. I love y'all! Keep
strengthening your faith! It can produce miracles!
Love,
Sister Empey
And pictures....
This is what Elder Homer did last week for P-day....

Richardson, James, President and Sister Cannon, myself, Sister Ketring, unknown
Elder whose name I cannot remember, and Elder Salinas.

And I found R2D2! It was a pretty awesome moment. :)
And that's all for this week. Enjoy! Love you!
