How are all of you doing? I'm fine....expect for this weekend I did have a head cold or something...maybe a little fever....stuffy nose...but I feel much better today. Much better. So guess what?!? We have a baptism this weekend!!! Yea!!! We're excited. She is ready. Anyone want to come? Just kidding. Anyways, she's ready. Ready as ready. So one of these days I'll send you pictures. What else....? Oh, you might want to know about my new companion eh? Sister Simons is from Lexington, Kentucky. She has been a member of the church for 3 years. She's been out since April/May. So yep. That's Sister Simons. Our other investigator who's getting baptized in November - we taught her all of the commandments this week. And it was our last lesson with her until right before her baptism. Sad. But she and her husband are going to France for about 3 weeks in September and she has to get ready for that. And she also has doctor appointments to take care of. But I'm not worried about her. She is practically a member, she's just missing the covenant of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. We did some service this week. Singing to old people with our district. And helping out some members with a yard sale. It was good. Good to do service. Yesterday evening was awesome. We didn't know what to do our last 30 minutes - so we went tracting and we were able to teach 2 others with knocking on 2 doors. We were able to testify to them how the gospel of Jesus Christ can help our lives. I love the Gospel! It is such a blessing to our lives. Such a blessing. So much peace and comfort come from it - which comes from living the gospel - living God's commandments - making it part of who we are. Love it. Someone the other day told us they were impressed how we actually live what we believe. It is so important to live what we believe. Otherwise, all is for naught. If we live it, we are truly "taking upon ourselves Christ's name." If we are children of Christ, heirs of His kingdom, we will live what we believe - we will do it. Well, I love you all bunches and bunches! You are all the bestest! Love, Sister Kristi Walston
