September 17, 2008

So this week has been very exciting. Steve, the guy with the hurt foot, has been progressing at an incredible rate. He has his bapism set for this Sunday. We have been passing everyday to teach him the lessons and make sure he is doing fine. Appearantly he used to drink a ton of alcohol and some other stuff, but he is so cool now. He has left all of that other stuff behind. Its priceless to see how happy his face is when we congratulate him for all the progress he has been making. It really helped on Sunday when all of the members came and talked to helped and friendshipped him. He asked us if his name was written in a book somewhere, because all the members seemed to know his name.
Birdy is still Birdy. She didnt come to church last week, and she's just kinda there, she knows Steve really well though and promised him that she would come to his baptism. Our mission leaders have told us a statistic that 50% of investigators who attend a baptism end up getting baptized themselves. So we are going to put it to the test and see if we cant start baptizing like crazy here.
Love Elder Osterloh
