Forty Ninth email - I met a son of perdition!‏

2/14/11 Sara Anderson sara.anderson@myldsmail.net To Mom, Dad Yeah pretty legit. I know. Well we spoke in a ward yesterday and this lady was telling us how she left the j dub church and joined the lds church and if you leave the j dub church and join another church then that makes you a son of perdition. Yesterday was a crazy day! We spoke in a ward, taught in a primary, taught a YW/YM, and went to 4 other sacrament meetings, 2 meetings, 1/2 of a sunday school, and I think thats it.....well that was all before dinner at least. haha. After dinner we just had lessons. We got the standard of excellence this week!!! Thursday night we got it worked out to have a baptism for Saturday!!!!! Well let me back up last week the 2 people we had on date fell through but then one ended up happening anyway! Her name is Angela. Her foster parents are members. Angela''s mom was coming to visit her this past weekend and she said she wanted her mom to be at her baptism and said that would be some time in march. So we were like, OR we could do it this weekend when your mom comes! We got the OK from the case worker and Angela's mom and we had a baptism on Saturday! We had a dinner Apt on wednesday and it wsa great. While the wife got dessert the husband (who are both in thier mid 60's) went to get something to read to us. Well he starts reading this paper that sounds like some type of letter and talking about how he put a lady's name on the prayer role and how he was planning to talk to ilo about having the missionaires meet with her that morning and how even before he could ask her she told him that she wants to be apart of our church. He then hands me the paper adn goes here is her name and address she is looking forward to meeting the two of you. Then he was telling us how she has a bad memory and how she was worried she would annoy us. He explained that she had nothing to worry about. We met her on Saturday. She lives in Mt. Olympus Rehibilatation center. So we went there and walked back to her room. The "fellowshipper wife" (Sister Smedly) was back in the room with Ilo and her husband was showing us to her room. I am going to try to describe her face when she saw us, but i dont know how I will do. haha. So you know when you have not seen someone in years and you are waiting for them to come around the corner of the airport and you are nervous but excited at the same time. That was her. It was so cute. So I walk around the corner, I was just like a foot infront of sis long so she saw me first and Sister Smedly goes, "thats them!" oh she was jsut so excited!!!!!It was so cute. She wanted to know when she could get baptized. She has been going to church at the rehibilitation center and R.S. for like 2 years. We are thinking we are going to do it this weekend! We are going to meet with her tonight! I was in the Dials Ward yesterday so that was nice to be able to see them. Matt's papers are now giong through the system. So its just a matter of weeks before he gets his call! Forgot to tell yall. I cover Pres Monsons stake!! WEll mom told me about the mission youth conference and I would like to do that. And another thing I just found out. The temple is closed from July 4th to July 16.....so thats lame. I am glad you were able to see Andrew and family!!! I am so proud of Andrew. Man is he a very busy boy! Thanks for everything dad. Love you tons! I am going to send you some pictures soon. Love, SaraThanks for all you do! Love you.
