This weekend was great! Betty was baptized and recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost! It was such a wonderful, spiritual experience for her. She could definitley feel the spirit, especially when she received the Holy Ghost. She was crying and later mentioned how it was a very emotional, touching event. She is doing great. It was wonderful. I spoke about baptism at the baptism service. And Sister Bowers and Sister Crossley came down from Gridley - Sister Bowers gave the talk about the Holy Ghost. It was a great turn out. There were a lot of people there - a lot of missionaries too. So some of the missionaries were standing in the back. It was a great turn out. Love it! We had a lesson with our part member family, where we taught them the gospel of Jesus Christ. The husband....he believes that when he was born out of the womb- that was his baptism. He doesn't believe it is necessary to be baptized "again". We shared a lot of different scriptures about baptism and left him with more to read. Hopefully he'll read them & his last reading assignment. He has a tendancy to take a month until he accomplishes assignments. We taught another of our investigators the gospel of Jesus Christ. He believes everything, expect for the fact about priesthood authority. He believes that other churchs have it as well. And he's already been baptized. So...we're going to be talking about the priesthood and the apostacy this week. Other than that he likes everything he's been learning. And we need to get him to come out to church. We picked up a new investigator last night. It's a part member family. The wife is less active. The husband is Catholic. We discussed how the Book of Mormon and the gospel blesses families lives. Sister Simons told him how she use to be Catholic and how it always seemed to be missing things - like being with your family forever. But it seems that Ed's family has adopted different beliefs then the Catholic's because he said they believe in that too. It was very interesting. But he was willing to set up a return appointment with us. And said he would try to give the Book of Mormon a chance again and that he would pray about it. We taught a lot of other lessons this week. It really helps having a convert companion. Through her conversion story we are able to share about other principles of the gospel. It's a great way to get people interested. We did service for some less actives of ours. His son just died. So we helped by cutting up fruit for the funeral. He came to church on Sunday. I love seeing how much he sees that he needs the church in his life. The gopsel truly does change and affect lives. I love it so much! It's such a wonderful gift we have. It brings so much peace and happiness into our lives! That's why I love sharing it with others. It's sad when people reject it, but everyone has their own agency. Well, I love you all bunches and bunches!!!!!!! Have a wonderful week!!!! :D Love, Sister Kristi Walston
