Washington Park/Beach

This was a good week.  "H" is doing so well. He is truly the most tenderhearted and sincere person I know. He just desires to do what is right. We went through the baptismal interview questions with him and every answer was so sweet and sincere. When I asked "Do you feel as though you have repented of all your past transgressions?" He paused for a moment, took a deep breathe smiled and said "I do, I really do. I have prayed and asked Heavenly Father for forgiveness. And he took that pain away." I almost cried, it was just so sweet.  I am looking forward to his baptism this Saturday.

"A", our investigator is doing well also. We are still trying to help her give up those worldly things. She wants to be baptized, she wants her kids to grow up in the church, she wants the blessings and help from God...but... she doesn't want to give up smoking, or living with her boyfriend, or things like that. She "wants" to give them up, but she's not ready and not making the effort to do so. We keep promising her blessings and talking about how much she loves her kids, what is she willing to do for her kids? We had a great talk with her this week, she cried when we told her how much Heavenly Father loves her and wants the best for her, just like she wants the best for her kids. I think this week we are closer than ever to helping her progress towards baptism and making those steps to change her life.

Yesterday we went to Washington Park in Anacortes, it was so beautiful!  We went on a little hike by the water, played games, sat on the beach.  I just love the beautiful Washington weather.

Lots of pictures this week!  Love you!

Went to lunch last Monday at 'Coconut Kenny's' - it's SO GOOD!

Decorated a girl's room from church for her birthday - it was so fun and she really appreciated it.  LOVE this family!

Got "H" some church dvds and materials and wrapped them all up for him.  It was so sweet to watch him open them! He loved it!
