Dundalk, Part 6

My family! So, about Elizabeth and Isaac, there hasn't been a lot of notable change in their situation. We're still trying to get them to church. Elizabeth has been booked into the branch temple trip in November, so that's pretty good. Isaac...may take a little more time, but that's what we're trying for right now; just trying to endure with him for a little bit until we can do something significant. We're trying to get their 15 year old brother Abraham baptized too, and we think that might help them as well. 

We just finished a transfer by the way. But me and Elder Scholz will still be in Dundalk for the next transfer as well, which is a surprise to no one. But a pleasant non-surprise. Did I mention that this is Elder Scholz's last transfer before he goes home to California?

There was a branch barbecue on Friday, which we brought a few investigators to, and a bunch of active and less active members showed up too! And the food was delicious. And we brought all of the leftovers home, which is totally super because we have no money for grocery shopping right now. But now we have more than enough to get through the week, especially since the members love to feed us and then send us home with gift bags of food. Gotta love the Irish. Sadly, many of the people at the bbq did not come to church. But Abraham did!

On Sunday, we met a sweet and lovely young woman named Alicia. She's friends with a member, and goes to institute and YSA things with her all the time, but this was her first time at church. We met with her afterwards at the member's house. Me and Elder Scholz had been discussing beforehand that we wanted to invite her to be baptized for as soon as possible because she would be leaving on a trip soon for a few weeks. Before we even brought it up to her, she was telling us that she wanted to be baptized and confirmed ASAP so she could have the holy ghost with her on her trip! It was sooo awesome, and it was a doubtless miracle! 

You need to [send me any digital pictures in the best quality possible in order for me to be able to get good quality prints from them. Thanks.] 

I got me an electric razor, and it works quite nicely!

We are looking at a few different places to get a gym membership. We are leaning towards the one with a free month. 

Love you lots everybody!
