So I will start with the most exciting news ever!! We had a lesson with Kristi this week and we were talking to her and she was telling us about how she had the devil kind of start placing doubts about being baptized in her mind and she recognized it was him and got them to go away, BUT because of that she said I just feel the need to be baptized sooner, is that possible? We were very excited and said yes!! So we figured it all out and within a few days she was having her interview and was set to go. So. She will be baptized, this Saturday on August 26th! The last Saturday of the transfer! As a companionship, we had set a goal of three baptisms this transfer, and because of this we will actually reach our goal. Three beautiful people have entered, or will enter the waters of baptism in 6 weeks!! The Lord's work is hastening and I am so excited and blessed to be apart of it!
This week Sister Rowley got what I had last week on a more minor scale. I felt bad. But she is a trooper and likes to push through everything. She's amazing that way. She is one of those people who claims to have never been sick. False, you have. But I love her. She is amazing.
Okay, so two cools experiences that happened today!!
We were out looking at these cute shops with Sister Koller and Moffett and we started talking to this woman running the shop! God came up and we were talking about faith in Christ and ended up accepted a Book of Mormon. We were also able to read her a passage out of the Book of Mormon that she loved! She has the other sisters number and said she would definitely call with questions!
We then continued where we met this other woman in a shop and she asked if we were apart of the LDS church. We said yes and asked if she was familiar at all and she mentioned she was actually baptized into the church! She has been less active for some time, but when asked the question what she missed she mentioned a few things. We challenged her to go back and she said she needed to, if for no other reason than for herself. She truly missed it!

It is amazing how the Lord puts people in our path so that we can always be sharing the gospel.
Sister Rowley and I did attempt to watch the eclipse. We did not have the cool glasses, but we did have this paper method we used which was cool. Hopefully you can see what I mean in the picture. The holes were complete circles.
