Another Home Game‏







Dear Family,






PICTURES: OU had another home game, so it was off to the family fun zone on Saturday. These may give you a small idea of what its like here for Oklahoma Football.This week was great! You know how a while back I was talking about how many great people we were teaching and how close they were to progressing toward baptism...well, most of thos have fallen away, we're still working with a couple of them, and two got baptized. What made this week great though, was we found eight new investigators. A few of these people are showing more promise than others, but its a bunch to work with and help develop faith in Christ, repent, be baptized, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.The way one of these new people was found was interesting. We talked to a girl on the street a while ago and she said we could come over and teach her and her family if we wanted another time, so we did. She was asleep, but her step dad said we could teach him, so we did and got another time to come by. When we came by he was there...and the girl we had talked to...and her mother...and her boyfriend...and her neighbor...and her neighbor's cousin. The neighbor, Jacob, is our new investigator. They all listened to the lesson, but Jacob was the only one who participated and had questions and when it came down to giving reading assignments and coming to church, he's the only one that made the commitments...and he kept them, though he wasn't home yesterday for his appointment and we haven't been able to get ahold of him, so...hmm. He loved Lehi's vision in the Book of Mormon and church was great, so I don't know where it all went. We'll find him again. The others we found hopefully start making more progress.Things are pretty great here in Norman. Love ya!-Elder Osness
