Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great week. I don't have a time to write today so I'm just going to paste what I wrote to President. 

Hello President! I hope that you had a good week. It was a pretty good week. We met with a referral we had received from the Mont St. Hilaire missionaries. Her name is Mads and her sister is a member over there. It was a really great lesson. We talked a little about the Book of Mormon and gave our testimonies. We tried to set a return appointment, but she kept telling us she would learn everything she wanted through reading the Book of Mormon. But she did say in 2 weeks she would come to church. 

We had a Cornelius moment. We had stopped at a grocery store to grab lunch and this person named Marie started talking to Sister T while I was paying. At first she was asking about Sister T`s flower. We walked out with her and she looked at Sister A`s tag and switched into English and said, "Oh you're with the Mormon's? I used to have boys come and visit me and I really liked our visits." So we were able to get her address and phone number and she said we could stop by. So we're going to call her today and see in the week when we can stop by. 

We tried finding at a park this week. We were able to give out some cards but no one wanted to give us their info. It was a little discouraging.

Our split this week went well. Sister A and I were able to go and teach 3 lessons while Sister T was in her Auxiliary meeting.  We now have a new investigator. His name is Sam. Sister Bess invited him to come to the Primary Program yesterday (which went really well!). We had a lesson with him after church and he is a very sweet kid. He's only 16 and he wants to know more about God and what happens after Death. So our lesson was on the Plan of Salvation and at the end Sister A asked him when he knew these things were true, if he would be baptized? He looked at her in the eyes and said yes. We will be seeing him again on Tuesday. 

We are almost ready for May's Baptism. We are just waiting to hear from Bishop tonight to know if Frank can baptize her and she has her interview with Elder Rudy on Tuesday. But based on her answers to the questions last night she should pass. :) 

So that just about sums up our week. Hope all is going well for you! Thanks for all you and Sister Patrick do! Sister Gardner
