Hello there friends and family!
This will be short - I spent
too long on individual emails. But, it will be a nice break I'm sure
from the novels that sometimes ensue. I am super glad to hear that
grandparents' surgeries went well and my prayers are certainly with you
all.
This week has been super exciting! I think I mentioned our new
investigator Danielle last week. We had another lesson with her on
Tuesday and she actually said that she's already gotten her answer that
this church is what she needs to do with her life and she has accepted a
baptismal date!! Woot!! We're so excited for her! The now that we
have a date we may have to push it back. She just started studying for
the bar exam that she's going to take in February but hopefully the
baptism will be soon. She's already making some good friends in the
ward and seems to just be soaking in everything we give her.
Other cool thing - Theresa got baptized this week! The Theresa
here, not the Lynn Theresa (yet!). It was so exciting to witness the
binding of such a sacred contract. The spirit was so strong as she was
confirmed! She was radiant with happiness. Her son Ryan, true to his
word, came and my prayer is with him that he really felt the truth and
importance and beauty of what he witnessed. Sister Khaled gave an
awesome talk at the baptism! The AP's asked her the night before and
she pulled it together beautifully. Our investigator Danielle who
actually came with some members remarked that it was very sincere. I
love Sister Khaled. She still feels like she has a language barrier but
she certainly has NO spiritual barrier barring her from bearing her
testimony and changing lives. She's amazing!
We just got news from Sister Packard! 44 new sisters will be
arriving in our mission over the next several transfers - how
exciting!!! Yay!! That's going to mean that we will all be training in
the near future once they start rolling in. Lots of fun! There's
going to have to be lots of new areas and new apartments, etc. We're
hoping to get another set of sisters for the LP wards - there is plenty
of work for two sets of sisters to do.
Boston was virtually unhurt by the big hurricane. There is
obviously a lot more clean up going on in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Our stake and the entire mission is supposed to be headed down to
Connecticut this weekend to help out - should be lots of fun!
Thanks for all the support and the love you send :)
I love ya'll!!
Sister Palmer
