We had another great week here in Lawton! I
love Elder Dutson and we are having so much fun together!
The rain the last couple days has been
quite a sight, seeing roads turn into rivers and parks turn into lakes...
For a miracle this week; We have been
trying to see Ryan, Sherita and DJ for the last week since we met with them and
taught them about the Restoration and they desired to be baptized and agreed to
work towards being baptized on July 9th. So we had an incredibly spiritual and
powerful visit with them, set a return appointment and then couldn't ever make
contact with them again. Then yesterday, we got home at about 8:50 and decided
to make a few calls and when neither of them answered we made the decision to
go back out until 9:00 to try and find someone we could talk to. We walked
outside and started walking but to our dismay, we saw Ryan and DJ taking out
the trash and we offered to help and got to talk to them. He said that he had
gone online after our last visit so we immediately gasp for air out of fear of
what is the greatest fear as a missionary. But, the response never came, he
didn't get into any of the anti-Mormon literature and came out knowing all
sorts of things about the restoration and Joseph Smith. We also learned that he
is working 2 jobs so he works from 7:00a.m. to 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. most days of
the week and that is why we hadn't been able to catch them but we set up
another return appointment for a time he isn't working and we got his number.

Of course, we experienced many more
miracles this week but all in all, we are working hard, having fun, and being
obedient, all of the great things that lead to a happy mission and life.
Keep the faith,
