Family,

Miracles never cease in Raymond!! Last week was nothing short of amazing. We set three baptismal dates! Two of them are with X and her son for the 21st of May (my birthday!!!), and she seems to have a renewed desire to stop smoking! For awhile she seemed like she just didn't really care too much and the desire to change was not really there, but the spirit was working on her and hopefully she acts on the promptings she receives.

We picked up a new investigator named X and we set a date with her for this Wednesday! She is going to Toronto for two months, but is coming back to go to school. She is living with her sister and brother in-law who are fellowshipping her. She has been coming to Church for the last little while with them so we felt prompted to give her a date before she leaves. Her only hang up with getting baptized on Wednesday is that her Mom can't be there for it. Not sure what will happen. We, of course, are encouraging her and supporting getting baptized on Wednesday and trying to show her the importance of doing so. We have a lesson tonight and a dinner+lesson tomorrow.

We had a busy busy week. On top of all that happened we went on two more 24 hour exchanges this week. I went to Cardston for one of them with Elder Harris and then I stayed with Elder Mott, one of our Zone leaders, in Raymond. Exchanges are fun because you get to see another area for a day and experience new things, but going back to your area is always nice. The weather is amazing up here! I have been waiting for over six months for this day!! No more cold!!!! I love you all so much!!! Have a great week!! Happy Mother's Day!!
