A bit better than last week

Hello everybody!
This week went a bit better than last. holla! We dropped some of those "golden investigators"..i think dad took the words right out of my mouth when he said it's hard when those "golden investigators are bronze at best" however, they turned out to be more 'rusty nail' than anything. We dropped them...didn't care to progress-said they had been "looking for the true church for 40 years!" Alas, the promise that if they read and prayed about the BOM last week they would get their answer was not taken seriously.
Good news with another though! She came out to church yesterday! With her 2 girls! She even found her own ride! That's a huge milestone. We had left her alone for all of last week and called her on Friday and she was so excited to hear from us. She said, "i'm coming to church on Sunday and i'll call you if i need a ride!" She was a little late so we were thinking it wasn't going to happen but then she walked in! Good thing we saved a spot for her! Her daughters loved primary, at the end of church they were walking around everywhere and i was like, "are you going to come back next week?" and they both really wanted to. So that is so great! She is realizing how important this is and hopefully we'll be able to extend a date to her this coming week.
We also had an appt with another family. They have been taught SO MUCH. Missionaries hadn't been back to visit in over 5 years. We had a really powerful lesson about following Christ and baptism- set a date for April 1 for the father and his son. (the rest of the family wasn't home) But he said, "if i get baptized, my whole family is getting baptized." We're like...no problemo! They have 2 boys-one is 9 and he was playing with his DS at the beginning and he was taking pictures of us! it was so funny, he was holding it up all sly and then when he pushed the button it made a camera taking noise and his eyes got really big and his dad looked at him like what the heck are you doing? haha he continued to take pictures with the sound off.
We got approved by the AP's to go the CN Tower! So next Pday i think we're gonna go! sweet, eh? We're excited. Mississauga is real close to Toronto and I can see the CN tower almost every day way out in the distance- it's HUMONGOUS! In fact, we were visiting a less active and she lives on the top of a tall apartment building in Oakville and I said, "can you see the Cn tower from your deck?" and we were looking and I found it way out in the distance and she got really excited and was like, "thank you so much for showing me that! It really inspires me!" It was weird though because I thought about it while we were talking to her earlier and I wasn't going to say anything and I kept thinking- i should ask her, i should ask her and like noooo that's stupid. But I brought it up while we were getting up to leave and it really made her day. I don't know why...but she got super excited. Odd prompting, eh?

Well, thanks for all the pics- hope i had some to send to you but i don't...i need to take more pictures! I'll be better at that!
Love Sister Messer
