Hey there! We had a stressful week. Our investigator, Mary Bailey, was supposed to get baptized on Saturday. We spent a bunch of time trying to get it all together. The day of the baptism, we tried calling her and her fellowshipper and friend Brother Lawson called her a bunch. She never responded. He drove over to her house in west Jackson to pick her up for the baptism and she's not home. So he stopped and asked some guys on the street if they her family and where she was, and they pulled a gun on him and tried to rob him! What the heck! She never showed for the baptism and everyone was sitting there waiting. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink, right!? Her sister-in-law is supposed to get baptized this Saturday, but we're not sure if that's going to happen anymore either. Gah! Everything seemed to fall apart a little bit this week. My companions focused a lot on not getting too stressed out. We had a relatively good week other than that.
Not sure what else to share. I'm happy and safe. I think we're going to give Jackson a break for a little while and let our nerves calm down a bit.
We're still working on getting the members to work with us more, we just need to get some solid people that they can help us with. We're trying though!
Well, I have to go. Hope you guys are all doing well.
Love,
Sister McElderry
