Everything going, going, gone!!

President Seibert announced on Sunday April 8 that the chapel plans have been approved to enlarge the chapel. We are all so excited. When we got here in September the branch was working to get 100 people to church for the next 3 months so that this blessing could be a reality. We made it!!

Lizzie has been dating a member and had been having missionary lesson while he has been gone in the Army. She was going to wait until July when Sterling came home on leave so he could be here....but in the middle of a lesson she got excited and said, "I don't want to wait! I want to be baptized now!"

Baptized by Sterling's father, Sterling Wall Sr.

April 2012

We had an exciting week! We found a new way to give out pass along cards and mormon.org cards although I can't highly recommend it! We were stopped at a red light on our way back to the apartment with , our chinese invesitagator and got rear-ended. A guy pulling a boat got distracted by a car coming up on his left to make a turn and took his foot off the brake. We are all fine, but the Toy is going to have o have a new bumper. The driver was really nice and DOES have insurance. Whew!! We gave him a pass along card to write our information on and also a Mormon.org card. We told him that is what he got for running into missionaries! He has a friend that just married an LDS girl, so he knows a little about the Church.

Chinese Latern Festival

Kuangdi, our Chinese friend, invited the four missionaries, and Brother Spaulding, our institute teacher, and his family of 5 for this special festival. They had a chinese buffet and then entertainment to celebrate the year of the Dragon.

Kuangdi came to Stevens Point last year for college. His parents researched colleges in the US and found BYU and were very impressed with the honor code. They felt that it would be a good place for Kuangdi to continue his education in accounting. He had to have an interview and recommendation from our branch president to apply for the Y so he found the church and walked in and ask for an interview. The missionaries then started teaching him. Kuangdi attended church all through the year, took the institute class for credit, and studied with the all the missionaries that have been here. He has been accepted to BYU Idaho in January of 2013 where Elder Dautel, from Germany, has also been accepted for school. They developed a good friendship so that will be good for both of them.
