Dear Family and Friends,

It was good to hear from some of you yesterday! It is always good to call home! It lifts my spirits and helps me move forward to have so much support! Thank you for all of you and the many prayers that are said in my behalf.

We started teaching someone new this week. It is a couple that has a lot of health problems. The wife is a member and the husband is going to be baptized. They just moved here from Nebraska and the husband was meeting with the missionaries up there. Before we taught him anything we set a baptismal date with him. His whole life is devoted to getting baptized. He is trying so hard to stop smoking. His whole life is a prayer to God. It is really cool because he is so sincere in his prayers. Him and his wife are going through a hard time but they both know that there is only one source of strength and that is their Heavenly Father. In the middle of our conversations he will start praying because that is his only way of survival. We should all be more like this and make our lives more in touch with God!
Well, as always my time is short and I must close. I love you all and pray for you.

Love
Sister Comte

Hello to all,

This week has gone fast and so has my time on the computer! I don't know where the time goes! This Thursday we went to a really neat baptism in North Port. The lady getting baptized was someone I started teaching when I was in the area. She finally decided to be baptized. It was a really neat experience! I was so happy to see alot of the people I worked with when I was in the area! The lady getting baptized knew why she was making the covenant of baptism. It was a really neat thing to see her strong testimony! She was so excited to be baptized that after she came out of the water she cheered about being baptized. You couldn't wipe the smile off of her face.

This is basically all that happened this week. I still love the work and am thankful for the opportunity I have to serve. I love you all!!

Love
Sister Comte
