Committments, Albuquerque, NM

Hello everyone! Sorry I missed the email yesterday - I am indeed still alive and still doing well - much more so now actually because you see, yesterday, I was able to attend the temple! and what a magnificent place that is. I have missed it so much! But it was a wonderful day full of spiritual edification! and now I get to wait another wonderful six months until I get to go again! The temple is such a wonderful place to receive revelation - I admonish you all to attend frequently. as proxy for me :) Is that blasphemous maybe? nah - 

As for this week coming up - Christi is getting baptized on Saturday! Oh it is so very exciting! She has been waiting for a real long time for this opportunity. and now she gets to! and it will be both Sister Walker and my first baptism - and then next October - Christi has already invited us to the temple with her! yay for that! 

I also need to share with you a cool experience that Bobbie had. Bobbie is so ready for baptism - she just won't committ to a date but that is okay. She knows she is going to. A few weekends ago she went to Colorado to visit her sister who has made some really poor choices in her life and she really had no idea why she was going. she just felt like she needed to go. She had no intentions of sharing the gospel with her at all - she really didn't know why she was going actually. On her drive up there she listened to the april general conference and really got hooked to President Eyring's talk. I think she said she listened to it 4 or 5 times! But then she said when she got to Colorado the only thing she could think about was the gospel and how much it could help her sister - She said she felt the spirit so strong with her that she really needed to share this wonderful gift with her sister - so she did! and called us to get the missionaries phone number for where her sister lives in some small town in colorado.so exciting! Oh she is so ready. 

We also committed our new investigator karissa to baptism on 23 November! That is real exciting too! She isn't quite jumping for joy at the gospel yet - but it is making sense to her and she is going to find so much joy from this. I mean who doesn't?

I am now going to take the advice from Michael that he has given to me concerning non-progeressing investigators. I left you all with a commitment last week - and heard nothing of it. So therefore, until I hear you can keep your commitments, I will use my time more effectively in serving others. 

I still love you all! 

Until next week - oh which is transfers. I will let you know then if i am staying, going, getting a new companion, or whatnot...

and really, I would love to tell you all more about this week, but becasue of the temple today is a shortened prep day and my companion is ready to go and there are some other sisters who are waiting on us to some pick them up. 

So I really do love you all 

Sister Stuart
