HELLO!
Happy martin Luther King day! ha ha
Shout our to CHIRSTA STREBLE! SHE IS ENGAGED! I just Love you Christa and i couldn't be more happy for you.
Well once again because its a holiday we are at a members house really early and i don't even remember what happened this week... whoops!.
Well so Donny is doing just great just so you know! he has changed SOOO much since i first began to teach him in Sept so its great to be able to see that change in him!
okay so cool story... it all starts in Aug last year. sister Orton, Johanson, and i are all together but this one day Johanson was away training at zone conference. So it was just Orton and I and we were trying to see a whole bunch of people that haven't been coming to church for a long time and passing out the ward time- change fliers. we knock on 100000 doors and no one was home or they just didn't open the door, until we got to Penny's door. so she opened up and she was super nice but sister Orton and I didn't know what to say because we were both way new. it's always kinda awkward at these door approaches because you don't want to just say "Hey! why haven't you been to church in FOREVER?" ha ha, but so we just chatted and then than asked her if we could come back and read through the Book of Mormon with her. she agreed and so we started to come back week after week and soon she began to show signs of a very slow progression but that's still progression. well to make this story short, yesterday she came to church and stayed all three hours and was even participating in class and then afterwards she came up to me and gave me the biggest hug and told me, "Thank you for reactivating me!" BEST THING EVER! From Aug til now she has made some huge progress and she is just the greatest and she has even gotten her husband to along with her too :)
Missionary work is the very best work ever! Sorry this is so short but its time to go.
love you all,
sister martin
