June 9, 2015~ "All in all, an awesome week!"


Hi Everyone!

This week went by really fast and it was a great week! Tim got baptized last Saturday!:D It went well and a lot of the members came! I was so relieved! Five minutes before the program started there was hardly anyone there, but luckily that changed after 5 or 10 minutes into it. One of the families we invited even came, and its a really big family. They seemed to enjoy it and said they wanted to come to church as well. After Tim's baptism there was a barbeque and after that we had church tour. It wasn't super successful, but still fun. 

We have this lady we're teaching named Shavonne and every time we see her she thinks we're Jehovah Witnesses lol And after we've convinced her we're Mormon she said sorry. She told us that someone told her that the only church that has people coming from door to door is the Jehovah Witness church. She told us that she would come to church this Sunday and see for herself but when a member went and tried to pick her up she wouldn't answer the door. I'm not sure why but we'll have to go back and see her and ask why she didn't come.  

We went to a different church this Sunday at 8:30. The church was called The Greater Grove Church, and it was....different. When we walked in literally everyone except me and Sister Moffett was black. It was pretty fun and the first hour felt like a party. I couldn't see but it sounded like they had a live band there, it was soo loud! And the more people got into it the louder the band got lol The preacher started singing several times, he said things like praise the lord. And thank you Jesus. Towards the end they had three young guys dancing to a song and their faces were painted white.  People got so into it! lol :D When we all come back and visit, you guys have to go to that church with me! I would describe it in three words. funny, different, and loud. All in all, an awesome week!

Miss all of you and hope you guys have a great day!

Love, Sister Keables
