Allison Jo Glanzer: Just Been Busy as Bees

We've just been busy as bees! We actually had two people have their baptism interviews these past few days! So we have Wyatt. He really, really, really likes dirt bikes and motorcycles, who has had a number of concussions in his day. Sister Christensen is super good at connecting motorcycles to the gospel. The Zone leaders were going to interview him on Friday, and they had to drive 30 minutes to get the chapel at 6:30. We are running a little late ourselves, getting done with dinner at 6:30, and we look at a text we got from Wyatt that he was in Carson with his sister.................................AHHHHHHH! But he is pretty funny. He had his interview on Saturday and he took an hour and 20 minutes... because he talks a lot... about motorcycles.

Sunday was Kayana's interview, and she took like 30 minutes and our district leader did her's. He said it was his very first he has done. She is super! She is in Jacob 4 in the Book of Mormon, and she is solid in the gospel! She is a freshmen at UNR, her friend Brendan is a recent covert that we are also working with to be more solid in the gospel. We teach both of them together.

Okay quick side note about Kayana's interview, we had eight people in the building, two elders, three sisters, one ward mission leader, and Kayana, and Brendan... I was taller than all of them! WOOT!

Their baptisms are next Saturday! I am excited for them!

There is a Tongan family that we teach Family Home Evening (FHE) to on Mondays, and I am always really excited for that! In the past they haven't been too involved in the FHE, like pulling teeth to get them to respond, but last Monday we taught the Word of Wisdom lesson and I got them more open! Today we are talking about temples, my element! We teach FHE to them because they live with the grandparents, and there is a bit of a language barrier between them.

We had exchanges with the Peavine sisters, aka Sister Smith A. and Sister Roush! Sister Smith joined Sister Christensen and I! That was so much fun to have her around for the day! We had just exchanged and our appointments fell through, so we were driving down Rock (a main street) and we see this kid just walking down the middle of the road not caring if he got hit by cars, so we flip around and go talk to him. Walked all the way to his home with him, He had a rough football game. Turns out he lives right next to the assistants to the President! We saw them later that night and told them to follow up in a few days. He also reads the book of Mormon every couple of months just to read it. This kid is prepared, if not now, but definitely in the future!

Hmm. It is getting colder and colder here...

Well have a great week everyone!
