Hey Y'all

Something cool happened this week. We got to watch the Fort Collins Temple Dedication. That was yesterday. Dieter F. Uchtdorf dedicated it. It was a really cool thing. What I liked the most was the talk Uchtdorf gave. It was just different from how it would be in general conference. It was great. First Temple Dedication I've seen. I wasn't there. It was just broadcast to stake centers. Still cool. 

The work here has been better than it was last week. We were able to meet with some of the existing investigators. Dave and Christie, and Sharon. Dave and Christie, it's hard to tell how much potential they have. Dave doesn't seem too interested, but Christie is a lot more religious than Dave and she seems to have more potential. Sharon is a bit of a special case. She has had lots of rough times in the recent past. A very messy divorce is the bulk of it, because she can't see 3 out of 4 of her children right now. And this creates the problem of her not wanting to go to church. When she goes to church she sees all the happy families and children, and that kills her. The other problem is coffee. She drinks a lot of coffee. She would be baptized, but she doesn't want to unless she feels she could be 100% committed. So we challenged her to drink 50% less coffee for now. I don't know how that is going. We are going to check with her today. 

We did however find this lady named Amy a park. She has a little girl named Hannah. She seems pretty interested. She has lots of potential. She said it was good timing that we talked to her. Something happened in her life recently. So we gave her a BoM and our number, but we forgot to get her contact info. So we for the next 5 days kept swinging by the park to maybe find her there, but no luck. Then one day we were contacting some potential from the area book, and we go to find this guy named Mike. Mike turns out to be Amy's husband. What a miracle. We haven't had a chance to get sit down and teach her yet, but it's in the process. 

Good stuff. Have a nice week.
