So I am getting kicked off of the computer in 3minutes. Sometimes we don't get very much time to email. I just wanted to let you know we had an awesome week!!!So last week our investigatorDale was struggling...well let's just say that struggling was an understatement for this week. We got a call from his fellowshipper and he said that dale told him he wasn't going to church because he was going to his brother's house for a barbecue. We had an appointment with him Sunday evening so we planned on having a little sit down with Dale to discuss how serious he was about getting baptized. We also prayed about who to bring with us because we felt like the fellowshipper he had wasn't really connecting well with him. We felt we should bring our ward mission leader because he is a convert to the church, is single, and use to have the same life style that dale use to live have. So when we dropped by to see him we found out that when dale was at his brother's house he smoked half a pack of cigarettes and got pretty drunk....He was SO upset with himself and he had been beating himself up about it the entire day. He was afraid that we would be too disappointed in him and we wouldn't continue teaching him. It was an absolute miracle that we brought brother Allen because we had no idea that dale had relapsed back into smoking and drinking. Dale was so comforted when brother allen shared his testimony about how he was able to repent and leave that life style behind when he found the gospel. It was so inspired and it helped Dale so much. We are going to do the straight gate with him this week and plan out all the times we are going to visit him and help him reach his goal of baptism.
So that was a pretty cool miracle that happened this week. I hope all is well and I love you somuch!!!!
love sister jones
