Hi Mom!
I like hearing about the business from home, you should keep telling me about that. Also, how neat that the Steidl address is the same! I am excited for you to talk to his son, if that's the right thing to do. It sounds like a great idea to me!
We do have some Easter celebrations--there will be an Easter dinner at the sites Sunday evening. Other than that, I don't know..I'd expect the senior couples would give us treats, they often do that for holidays. Your Boston Market and Harry Potter party sounds fun! And, how nice that you don't have a stressful Easter program!
The guy in Subway--Antwon? Well, he's not in my area, but Sister Morrell says she hasn't seen him since our companion exchange. That happens a lot with investigators--they have a great first lesson where they commit to be baptized, but then you never see them again.
We've had an exciting week in Solon, though! We found five new investigators. Have I told you about Annie Smith? She's a less active lady in the ward, and we've been teaching her the whole time I've been here. She also has a couple of nonmember grandchildren (Ladybug and CJ) I've been wanting to teach, and as soon as Sister Devenport got here, we had a lesson with them about baptism. It got kind of tense, because Ladybug said, "I want to get baptized!" and Sister Smith said, "You know that's not my decision, that's your mama's decision, and just because I'm your nana doesn't mean I can give you permission!" But then Ladybug got her cell phone out right there and called her dad and got permission to be baptized! We were still waiting to hear what her mom had to say, but last Saturday when we went over there, we found out that her parents said yes and that we could officially start teaching her! We've set a baptismal date for May 21st. CJ wants to get baptized too, but he's only 7.
Our other new investigators are Demarco, Darius, Brandon, and Jennifer--the first 3 found tracting, and Jennifer found via referral. Sister Christenson, a sister who served here a couple of years ago, called in to sites and asked the Solon sisters to look for her. Just a few days after that, we found her old teaching record in our dead pool! We went to the address written there, and it was abandoned, but we searched her on white pages and found her new address, and it turns out she's very interested. And when we were teaching her, she said she wanted her mom to learn too! So we'll be teaching both of them the next time we go back.
On another note, have you ever had catfish and waffles? I had it the other day at Mr. Wonderful's Chicken and Waffles, and it was better than I would have thought! You can make it: just put a couple of pieces of fried catfish on top of a giant belgian waffle, and then pour maple syrup on top. :-)
Oh, in my scripture reading right now, I'm in 4 Nephi, Preach My Gospel chapter 6 (Christlike attributes), and reviewing the Whitney store in the Kirtland guide.
Well, I hope you're doing well! I love you!!!!!! (And happy Easter!!!!)
Love,
Katherine
