Week 4 - February 11, 2013

Hey everyone!

Another big exciting week here in Cape May. On Monday it was pretty cool. We were able to go to the ocean down by the point. We saw the Deleware Bay and then drove over to the other side where we were able to see the Atlantic. We were able to go swimming for about a half hour. The water was pretty cold but it was crazy cool and fun. Just kidding, we didn't go swimming. The water actually looks pretty brown here so that was sad, but the sunset was really pretty. I picked up some sea shells and also these rocks that are clear. The people here call them "Cape May Diamonds" when they are all polished up. It's pretty cool. I also got to see a light-house. I don't think I have ever been able to do that so it was awesome. I just wish I could have gone inside or something. That would have been so worth it.

But for the rest of this week we were able to have some awesome experiences. On Monday night we went to a house that we had tracted out our first week. When we had first met them we gave them a BOM and had a short message and they said that maybe we could come back sometime. And then a couple weeks later when we went back on Sunday we set up a return appointment. While we were setting up the appointment so we could have a lesson with them the next day I saw that the Book had been opened but I couldn't see if how far they were reading because it was turned down. So when we came back for our lesson on Monday the wife Penny had actually read to somewhere in Mosiah and was apologizing because she hadn't gotten all the way through it! Miracles happen. It was so cool because we gave them the lesson on the restoration and when we were describing what happened using the pictures in the pamphlet they really liked the picture with Joseph Smith in the sacred grove when he saw HF and JC. It was amazing to see how happy they looked when they saw that picture. But we ended up commiting them to a baptism and invited the husband Sean to read the BOM and we said we would get him a copy, but he downloaded it on his IPad right then. They are golden!! Looking forward to our next lesson with them.

Also family, have you guys ever had "fluffernutter" sandwiches?? They are pretty famous out here. Everyone eats them. Its marshmallow fluff and peanut butter. Yum.
