Re: re-sending THIS week's email (part 1)

Things are going pretty well for our investigators. We have one young man (Pontus) with a baptismal date set, and two others (a teenaged boy from Mongolia named Bilgun and a Swedish woman named Cecilia) who could set their dates any day now. Syster Dabb and I are just trying to practice patience because WE know they're ready, but they need to make the decisions for themselves (especially Cecilia - she's very independent). We have another investigator that just makes our whole lives better every time we see him. His name's Bahman, and he's a middle-aged man from Iran. The first time we met him, he was one of the saddest people I'd ever seen - just totally torn down and beaten by life. But each time we've met him in these past few weeks, he's been happier, and visibly healthier. We've got a long way to go with him, but we can actually SEE that he has changed in just these few weeks we've been with him. This gospel actually DOES change and heal people. Isn't that a miracle?
Well, Momma, my time's running out. I hope you have a wonderful week, filled with your own miracles and mercies. Remember that I love you.

Love,
Syster Hillary Kiser
