Hey! This week has been going pretty well!! Vikki Eddington has made the decision to be baptized on November 15th! :)
Last preparation day Vikki had texted us and asked if we wanted to come over and bake cookies so we decided that we would! So we got over there and spent most of our P day just hanging out with Vikki and she bought us dinner as well. At one point she started asking us some questions and we could tell that it had been some things that she'd been thinking about for awhile and that it had been holding her back a little bit. However, we just answered her questions and then she paused, then said, "Well..I guess I should pray for a date for baptism then! I already have 2 dates in mind..."
Im sure my face would've been a big mixture of shock and excitement! After talking about it for a few minutes she decided that November 15th would be the perfect day to get baptized since it's her birthday and it'd be a nice new beginning!! We are definitely so excited!!! She's really excited as well!! It's been really cool to see the changes in her. Whenever we would teach her a new principle, she would think about it for a few seconds and then immediately commit to follow it and at the same time she would say, "well...if God wants it to be that way then he will prepare a way!". She's awesome!
Another miracle actually occurred from this experience as well. When we left vikkis house we had a bag full of cookies. We still had a couple hours left of the night so we prayed about where we should go, and I had someone pop into my mind, but before I said anything I asked my companion, "Well...do you have anyone in mind of who you'd like to visit?" She answered, "hmm I was thinking Monica..." I smiled and said, "Good!!! Cause I was thinking the same person!!" (Monica is a member of the church). So we headed over to monicas and right before we walked in sister Waldron felt like she should bring the cookies inside.
We started talking about the mriacles that had been occurring lately and monica paused at one point and said, "Hey! I just remembered...on my way home from work my friend sally called me and I haven't got a chance to call her back. I've been looking for a way to share the gospel with her. Do you think I should give her a call??" We of course answered YES!!! Monica gave sally a call and as she was talking to her I had the thought that we should offer to bring the cookies we had baked over to sally right now! So I started motioning like a crazy person to monica, trying to get my point across via crazy hand actions and luckily she understood what I was saying and sally agreed to let us all drop by! So, long story short, we pulled up to sally's house and we were able to meet her and set up a time to come back and she is doing so awesome!!
Anywho, that's about it!! Have a wonderful week! love you all! :)
