Hello Family!
First of all, HAPPY WEDDING WEEK! Good luck with everything! I'm so happy for Kristen and John and I hope it is a beautiful, perfect day.
Brother Donelow was baptized on Saturday! Nothing ever goes the way you plan it to... the lady who was supposed to talk on baptism heard the wrong time, so another lady gave a last minute talk; the piano was still being played when the baptism prayer started; and other things funny and crazy things like that, but he's baptized now and the Spirit was strong. He looked so happy and peaceful as he was getting the gift of the Holy Ghost. It was wonderful.
We got transfer calls on Saturday and the pattern of surprise has continued. I thought the two options were me staying in Nixa or going back to Springfield, but Sister Boone and I are covering both and we're getting another sister, so we're going to be a three-some! It'll be an adventure. Hopefully we can cover both well.
We set a baptism date with a girl named Heather this week. The next morning she went to seminary with her friend and they talked about baptism. Heather sent us a text saying, "maybe God is trying to tell me something." It was really cool.
We're also meeting with a lady named Sister Scott. She is such a character. She's pretty ghetto and she's had a crazy life with a lot of bad things and a lot of good things. She's been reading The Book of Mormon diligently and loves everything she learns. As Satan is, he sent a really, really anti guy her way who told her some lies, but she did her own research and proved him wrong. It was great to see her desire for the church to be true, and to see her overcome that opposition.
I love you all so much! Take lots and lots of pictures of the wedding and send them to me!
Love,
Sister Monson
