Still no news as to if
Israelsen and I are being transferred, the calls wont come in until
about 10 or 11 my time. I am hoping that Israelsen and I stay together
one more but we will see what happens.
So this week was a little disappointing. We were supposed to have a baptism on the 15th of this month but on Saturday
we were informed that we would have to postpone the baptism because of a
few things that have come up. I won't go into detail but please keep
the Strausbaugh family in your prayers!!
The
big thing this week was the Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival. It is one
of the largest festivals here in Louisiana and it is all dedicated to
strawberries. Who would have thought strawberries were cool enough to
bring hundreds of thousands of people to a small town like Ponchatoula??
Not me that is for sure!! So we got to spend a lot of time at the
festival by doing service for the local Kiwanis Club. They were selling
non-alcoholic strawberry daiquiri's to earn money for this years
projects. It was a lot of fun and when we weren't helping there we got
to go around and see some of the booths and talk to people. Not many
people there were from our area but we did get to speak some Spanish
there so that was really cool!!
Other than
that this week was fairly slow. We got a few new potential investigators
this week including a family but we have to follow up with them this
week and see if they are interested in continuing meeting with us. I
will keep y'all updated on that.
One last
thing. If y'all haven't seen the Easter videos that the Church has put
out this year, I would strongly encourage y'all to go to Mormon.org and
watch all nine videos. They will bring a Spirit of Peace into your homes
this Easter season. I have felt and seen in others the Spirit that
these videos bring.
Have a great week!! I will keep y'all updated on transfers!!
