July 7, 2014 weekly update

Well this week was good. Interesting at least. We have been working hard to try and get the work moving here, and its slowly but surely getting going. We have an investigator who is getting baptised soon! She met an LDS guy on an online dating site, and he shared the gospel with her, and she loved it! She was really prepared. They got married a few weeks ago and He is coming up to baptise her, and he gets here this week. So I think next week is the service. Pretty awesome! We have been doing a lot of active member lessons, trying to help them to share the gospel. We show a video from hasteningthework.lds.org and talk about how we can be the toolbox to help them share the gospel. It's been going well, people are excited to share the gospel I think. 4th of July was good. We went to a barbeque and then we went and tried to visit people. It was hard though, since everyone was at the parade. In a town like HOmer, literally everyone goes to the parade. So we though, "who doesn't celebrate 4th of July?" and boom, it hit us, russians! so we went to the Russian village, but by the time we found it we had to turn around and go to dinner haha. Well that stunk but what can you do, atleast we found it now! haha. We get to drive up to Soldotna tomorrow and meet our new mission president! I'm excited! He seems really awesome and I'm excited to see what he does with the mission. Well I hope you are all well, love you all! Elder Pawson
