| Last night in Clinton with all the Scott kids. This is Wabbles the special-needs puppy and DayDay, my hairdresser :) |
First, Sherry. Sherry is getting baptized in 6 days! She is an absolute angel. For those of you that keep up with my emails, she is a lot like Sunny :) I am her 5th Sister Missionary (completed another hand, Dede!) and she and I are best friends already. Sherry is on day 7 SMOKE FREE! Seriously she has overcome so much and grasped everything so quickly. Sister Maughan found her and started teaching her a few months ago, she moved away a few times, and finally came back. Since she has been back Sisters have been teaching her! Last week we saw her 6/7 days. She was interviewed for baptism yesterday, and the entire ward is so excited! She calls us her warriors :) Her husband's name is Jason, and he is slowly becoming interested as he watches his wife make all these changes. Apparently in the 9 years they have been together he hasn't prayed with her. I didn't know this, and he agreed to kneel with us to pray the first night we visited, and he offered the prayer another night! Sherry is in shock. He was THIS CLOSE to going to Iowa to work for 4 months, but our prayers kept him here and we are so excited to teach him :)

| LOVE. I am so short, yall. |
We have been teaching a couple other people who are almost ready to be baptized! This is a great area :) We are in a 3 way car share with 2 cars. So that means we have the car for two weeks and we bike for one. With my luck, of course, I got here on bike week. Remember, we are in tropical storm weather. Y'all we got soaked like 3 times this week. My first day we biked to the Kroger to buy groceries and had to wring out our skirts before going inside. One of the storms was so bad I couldn't even see! Water was splashing all in my eyes and nose. So lovely. When we got home that day I felt like I had just jumped in a lake with all of my clothes and my bag. It was bad. But character building! We took pictures of after one of the lighter showers.. we came home and went inside in silence after the bad one. Both of us were just like "oh. my."
Yesterday we did a teeny bit of tracting, somehow there was no time this week! (the best) and we even met some cool people.
Sister Child and I are working hard here :) And I am loving the ward! Shout out to Sister Davin who already reads my blog! ✌
HAVE A BLESSED WEEK! Love,
Sister Bartsch
