Things here are just on a constant roller coaster! Yesterday we baptized Kaitlyn Stacks and Luke Kennedy, her cousin. It was a good day that I told about on the Family Web site. They will be comfirmed next Sunday during Sacrament Meeting.

Today Elder Whiting and I have been trying to do some planning for the rest of the people we are teaching. We are blessed to have our planning book pretty full for the week. We just hope for no cancellations. Christy and Boyd want us to come twice a week now that they are now working. Also we have been doing planning for the three boys, Johnny, Juho, and Donny. We are going to teach them once a week all together and then teach each young man separately also. We cannot continue to meet their individual needs and just meet with them together. So we will get to know them better, and find out their individual needs and helped them separately.

That puts a few extra appointments in our book, but we feel that we were not moving forward as we wanted to with them, so we came up with this plan. Of course, Heavenly Father already knew that's what we needed to do. So I called and made the appointments and they all agreed to do it. They are good young men and just need some guidance. Donny and Johnny have been going to early morning Seminary last week also. The ward has done an outstanding job of fellowshipping them all. Our next step with them is to help them prepare to receive the witness of the Holy Ghost as well as finish teaching them the Gospel.

Tomorrow is district meeting here in Sherman and we have appointments with Tami Eilers, Christy and Boyd, and Donny, Johnny, and Juho.
