Hello again!!
I can't believe how fast this transfer is going. It needs to slow down.....wwwaayyy down!!!!
What a week!
Sister Gamble and I did A LOT of walking. To be exact....over 10 hours! Crazy huh. I haven't done that much tracting since being in Norwalk. We are dedicating our selves to this work and to the Lord! We want so badly to find those he is preparing. There are definitely better ways to find people to teach then tracting. We've also been prayerfully seeking ways to work with the ward members too. Heavenly Father has blessing us with strength, with joy, peace and comfort. Even though times can be tough! I feel his love wrapped around us. We had an awesome experience on Saturday.
Saturday was a wide open day, no lessons not even member meals. By the end of the day we tracted over 3 and a half hours. The night before in our goals, Sister Gamble and I set to teach one lesson and make that lesson a new investigator. When dinner came along at 5:00 we still hadn't found anyone to teach and our legs were pretty tired im not going to lie. We tried to talk to as many people as we could! We truly were doing our best. After dinner we said a prayer together that we would be able to find someone to teach.
Well, our very last stop-by was to a man named Ted. We met Ted last Saturday and he said we could stop by to give him a book of mormon. Oh my goodness!!!! It was so cool. He had just pulled in from work! We taught Ted the message of the Restoration right there in his drive way. I could feel Heavenly Father providing us with the words to say. Its the best feeling ever to know that God is aware of us all and that we are not alone in this work. Its his work!!
Then, yesterday at church Becca, Jim's girlfriend came up to us and told us some fabulous news about him! He's been really busy with football and getting ready with school but he's still reading the Book of Mormon. She said that after he read 2 Nephi 4 where Lehi dies that he felt this yearning to want to be on the straight and narrow path!!!! He wants to be baptized!!!!! Oh it was the best news ever! Now...i don't know when this baptism will be but to know that he knows that this is good, that its right, is just perfect.
I know this Gospel is true, that heavenly father is our loving father in heaven, that jesus christ is the savior and redeemer of the world!
I love you family! Always remember to pray. Your Father in Heaven wants to hear from you. He wants you to know of his great and perfect love for you. He can only do that if you come to him. He is there. Christ is there. What a wonderful thing to know.

Have a fabulous week and don't forget to write me pretty pretty please.

LOVE,
Sister Houston


Sister Gamble and I took a tour at the Johnson Home on Friday. It was a non-member couple. They have lived in Ohio all there life and often drove past the Home but never made the time to stop in! It was an older couple. They seemed to really like it. My favorite part was at the end
