Greetings!
We have had an awesome week here in Omaha! We had a wonderful experience with an investigator the other day. We had another lesson with him after not seeing him for 2 months and shared a message about the Plan of Salvation. We then Invited him to church and he came! He stayed for all three hours and said he really enjoyed it! We are going to meet with him again this week sometime soon! We are hoping to invite him to be baptized since he said he is "on board" with everything that we are teaching. We believe our next lesson should be the one for the invitation.
There is a member family in our ward who was re-activated about a year ago; the family is now currently working toward going to the temple and being sealed as a family. We are so excited for them and the progress they are making. We had the opportunity to go to the temple this last week. It is amazing, the spirit you can feel when you go to the temple. Our mission president and his wife were there with us and we had a great time. This is the second time I have been to the temple since being in the Omaha mission. It was really hard to go to the temple in the Rapid City Mission unless you were right in Bismark, but most of the missionaries here are able to go to the temple several times while serving in the mission.Jacob is really excited to be going home and so is Austin; they have been talking about it a lot now that he only has like just a few weeks to go now. I'm happy for their reunion, but I try not to think about it too much 'cause I have more than just a few weeks to go. Ha!
I'm a little sad to see summer go but not sad to see the temps go. It has been one hot, humid summer. The locals say that it starts snowing about the end of October, mid November here, with one early snow fall that goes away quickly because it warms up again, so we will see.Woah! Cort has a legit love life now?!?! He hasn't written me in like three months so I don't hear anything from him...neither has Noah. I guess Caitlin really does love me the most..(don't get your hopes too high Caitlin!) HAHA!
To Mumsy...yes, I was actually just thinking about the "What's New Pussycat?" song the other day as I was petting a member's cat! And yes, I remember that episode of Fresh Prince where Tom Jones made a guest appearance...it made me laugh super hard!
I'm a little sad that I will miss the Labor Day festivities in PTown, but glad to know that I can be there next year...kind of crazy that this is my last "holiday season" as a missionary.
Love you guys...have fun!!
