Since you don't know who Helen is, you probably don't know how much of a MIRACLE you are reading in the subject line of this message. Helen has been investigating the church for about two years now. (I know...right?) We FINALLY got her to set a baptismal date. August 1st! Happy Birthday to Brianne! The only thing we are worried about is that she is supposed to have a baby on the 12th of August. Let's hope that this one doesn't come early... I hate to wish that on anyone, but really, it's about time. Everyone pray for her. The time between setting a date and actually getting baptized is always the hardest time for all of these people.
We got transfer calls this morning. I'm staying in Bella Vista! So is Hermana Henderson. But we are also getting a third companion fresh from the MTC. I don't know what her name is yet. It's going to be interesting getting ready in the mornings with three sisters and one bathroom. We are also going to have to put a mattress on the floor in between our beds for one of us. Fun stuff! Really, though, I'm excited to be in a threesome. They are always really fun.
We had an appointment with Grover last week and he found out that I studied art for a couple years at school. I showed them a drawing that I was working on. He was really excited because he also wants to be an artist. He's really good. When we were leaving he asked if I would draw something with him at our next appointment. I asked him what he wanted to draw and he said, "Maybe the president of the church." I thought that sounded like a pretty good idea:) He was also asking us how the mission is. We gave him the best taste that we could of missionary work and he told us that he's thinking about serving a mission! Sweet! I'm so excited that he is doing so well. I'm also excited that we found a good connection through art. I was wondering when art was going to come into my mission in some way. It'll be good to get a little extra practice. It's been way too long since I've seriously drawn anything and I think I've lost quite a few of my abilities. Let's pray they come back fast!
