Hello favorite people!

This week has been so good! Dominick is doing great! He is still reading the Book of Mormon, still praying, and asking awesome questions. He is excited to get baptized and this week we are going to help him make some invitations so he can invite his friends. He came to church yesterday and really enjoyed it. He says great prayers. We're having good success getting members to his lessons and everything is moving along swimmingly! I keep thinking we have to be forgetting something really important because it's all too easy! I guess that's how it is when people are prepared. I know Heavenly Father has prepared him and put him where he needed to be to receive the message of the gospel. The lessons have been going really well and he's very smart. He's learning quickly. He also has some foster brothers that we are hoping we can get interested and teach. It just makes my day to go see him. I'm so excited for him to get baptized. After church we had a lesson with him and he brought up that his Sunday School teacher had encouraged them to do a journal for 21 days. He decided that for his entries he is going to choose a verse each day that he read and write his thoughts on that verse. Isn't he great? It's so fun to teach someone that is progressing.

We also found out this week that there are people in our neighborhood that owned the killer dog in Sandlot. It was their dog and they flew him out for filming and everything. Crazy! He has passed on since, so unfortunately we won't be able to take pictures with him or anything.

Other than that, it's honestly just all been about Dominick. Nothing else this week was particularly noteworthy. My life is going to seem so meaningless after he gets baptized haha. My ponderize scripture for this week is D&C 88:123-124 "See that ye love one another; cease to be covetous; learn to impart one to another as the gospel requires. Cease to be idle; cease to be unclean; cease to find fault one with another; cease to sleep longer than is needful; retire to thy bed early, that ye may not be weary; arise early, that your bodies and your minds may be invigorated."

It still works in with my humility theme that I've been working on because it includes not being covetous, and not fault-finding. Two things that are sins of pride. I've been learning a lot about that
lately and I'm trying to be more humble, submissive, and teachable. Love you all! Have a great week!
