Letter from 7.14.08

Hello family-

I hope that you all got your letters. Last week I went up to Bangor to do some shopping, like mom said I was born to do it.

Any way this week was awesome. We got to meet with all of our investigators which sometimes doesn't always happen. Nick was our miracle this week. We pulled up to his home and we noticed that his live-in girlfriend's car was not there. When we walked in the lights were all on and there was music playing, which that never happened before. we sat down for our lesson and he announced that he was no linger living in sin. He has a word of wisdom problem so I just assumed that he had stopped smoking. I am very naive. He kicked his girlfriend out! That was the change that we noticed when we walked in. There wasn't a shade over the house. The light was shinning forth. The next thing that he announced was that he wanted to move up his baptismal date two weeks. I was so happy from last week when he actually set a date that I really didn't quite understand the cool factor of having the investigator move up their date. I am still learning all this stuff still.

We also got to teach Mike who we have to move slow with because he is dyslectic so he has to go really so when he does his readings. He seems to be moving along pretty good we just wished he saw the importance of keeping consistent each week instead of every other week.

George is having a hard time getting an answer to his prayers about the Book of Mormon. We are still optimistic because he came to church yesterday and he still does his readings and wants to meet with us for lessons.

Saturday we had a mission wide conference call. That was cool. Pres. Jensen wanted to implement a new way of reporting numbers and thought it would be faster if he did it then instead of waiting for zone conference. It was cool because I had to say the opening prayer and an elder I came out with that is on the other side of the mission said the closing. I had been wondering how he was doing and I am sure now that he is doing just fine.

Last night was transfers. No I did not get transferred or you would have gotten a very short e-mail like last week. Sister Mecham was scared because she has been here 6 months and it is about time for her to be transferred, but we are together here or another 6 weeks. We are glad because the guys are moving in the right direction and a new missionary might throw them off.

Well I can't think of anything else...

Love you all,

Sister Foy
