So much greatness (1/18/16 email)

N and C had an amazing weekend!!! On Friday they were married, on
Saturday they were baptized, then on Sunday they were confirmed! THEY
ARE SO GREAT!!!! N had been baptized into another church before,
but she said that immediately as she was coming out of the water she
felt so clean and light, like she didn't have any guilt left in her.
C said he was really cranky and tired all day Saturday and did not
feel like he had the energy or motivation to get baptized. But then
after he came out of the water, he felt so renewed and energized! Haha
he was acting SOOOO different. It was hilarious. He was so motivated
and he said he felt like he could do anything he wanted. They are so
great and they're already counting down the days until they can be
sealed in the temple. N is also really excited to serve a senior
mission haha. They are sooooo amazing!!

Today we went to this place called The Vista House on the Columbia. It was sooo beautiful, but soooo windy. Sister Arbon and I looked crazy so we took some ginger pics. The world is so beautiful!

Sister Singleton and I have really been focusing on exact obedience to
the schedule recently, and something we've struggled with is starting
daily planning at exactly 9:00pm. By the time we get back into our
apartment it's always a few minutes late, so this week we've been
trying to fix that, and a miracle happened because of it! Saturday
night we hurried into the apartment and saw the clock and it was
actually 8:56! We had over-corrected and were TOO EARLY that
time. So we ran back outside and knocked on a door next to us. The
woman who answered said her name was S and she said, "Oh I'm so sorry
I haven't had a chance to call you back! Can we schedule a time to
meet next week?" Oh my gosh! We've been trying to get a hold of this
woman for a while but we only had her phone number and had no clue
where she lived! So we scheduled an appointment and ran into our
apartment and knelt down to start our planning at EXACTLY 9:00 for the
first time in a long time. Exact obedience brings miracles!!

This week for the mission leadership council they didn't just invite
all the zone leaders and sister training leaders, but all of the
district leaders were invited too! It was amazing!! It was so big that we
were in the chapel, but it was a full day of motivation and
spiritual strength! I LOVE PRESIDENT TAYLOR!!

Well that's about all for this week. Here's a picture of our amazing
investigators' baby! (They're getting married on Friday then baptized
on Saturday ahhhh <3)
