Henry on the 17th!

Newsflash:Cassie will be reporting on the 27th of December at 10:50

Hey-

We had three people at church yesterday! Yay. It was fun. Pray for us tonight, we are going to visit one of our investigators that cannot be baptized when she thinks she is going to... she isn't keeping a couple big commandments. I am not too excited to tell her.

Henry is coming along nicely. He is the older gentleman that we are working with. Bishop Day has arranged a Sacrament Meeting to be held just for Henry at the nursing home while he is there so he can still be baptized on the 17th. So funny story about that. Back when we went in to see Henry to set the date, I was planning on telling him he could be baptized on the 14th. We usually hold those services on Saturdays so they don't have to wait so long to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Well, when it came time to tell him when he could be baptized I had a really hard time spittin the words out... and when I finally did, I didn't say Nov. 14th, I said the 17th. Well, this week, while we were visiting Henry, my companions were looking at the activites calendar on the wall in his room. Guess who's birthday is on the 17th of November!?! That is right, Henry's is! I couldn't believe it (a) and (b) HE NEVER TOLD US! He was so cute when we realized it was his birthday. He just laughed at us and said, yep. I love that guy.

Elder Arnold is touring our mission this week. The whole mission is in an uproar. Elder Arnold came to the MTC while I was there last year. It was funny then because my MTC teacher had had Elder Arnold tour his mission when he was in the Sao Paulo Brazil mission. My MTC teacher was very affraid of Elder Arnold. So it will be interesting to see what he does. He is pretty intense from what I can remember. Goodness it has been so long.

Well, that is all for now. Good luck this week. Look for tiny miracles in your lives. They are there.

Love
Sister Thacker
