Puppies!

Hola!

We are teaching a 16 year old named Tiffany who is living with her grandma. Her grandma is not very interested but she is supportive of Tiffany and her decision. Tiffany used to live with her boyfriend but now has moved back in to live with her grandma. She was having a really hard time with school and other teenager stress so the Elders came over and gave her a blessing. She was a totally different person after the blessing and she is determined to be baptized in February. We had a dinner appointment set up for her at a member’s house and she walked all the way across town to come to it. She could feel the Spirit in their house and she is working hard to be ready for her baptism.

April (our investigator) has been super sick lately and she has been bedridden for days. On Saturday, she received a Priesthood blessing and she instantly felt a lot better. With all of the stress going on in her life and being sick, she said that she smoked two puffs of a cigarette and it was so nasty that she didn't even finish it. Whoo! The Lord works in mysterious ways sometimes. She was so sad to have her baptismal date pushed back but she knows that it will be worth it. Also, her son has been trying to get into rehab for his traumatic brain injury (TBI) and we found out last night that he got in! She sent us the sweetest text telling us the news and bearing her testimony of how much the Lord has helped her in her life.

We may or may not have had a dog for a day – I’ll never tell! April's mom June brought home some of the cutest puppies – they were mutts and they had some Rottweiler, Blue Heeler, and other dog breeds in them. They were adorable! We have a member in our ward that was just telling us how much she wanted a puppy so we took one of these puppies for her. He was so cute so we took him with us all day to our appointments and gave him a bath. Sister Brown (member) was so happy when we surprised her with him – she has never looked so happy! The good news is that we will be able to see our little puppy every time we go over to her house and we'll get to watch him grow up.
