It was a pretty fantastic week here in Great Falls! Me and Elder Poulsen have got our work cut out for us! Lots going on, so this might be a little long...
To start, Marianna is doing really good! She said that she can feel a difference since last Sunday. She's getting answers to questions she didn't think she'd get answers to. She if trying to read the Bible and the Book of Mormon together to understand them better! 
Her friend that she is living with and nannying for is named Gisella. Gisella was baptized a couple years ago and has been less active until recently, but she talked to us about getting her patriarchal blessing and a temple recommend to get her endowments! Pretty awesome! Also, her husband is not a member and is interested in sitting on on the new member lessons with Marianna! Gisella is convinced he's getting baptized soon! She's a good influence on him! 
Marco is doing really good! WE GOT HIM ON DATE FOR JULY 29TH!!!! We've been working with him for a while and he's feeling ready! He was so excited to be baptized, he called his boss right then to get the day off! He's the best! He still needs to learn some stuff. We've got a fluent Arabic speaker (his English is still kinda limited) that is coming with us for a couple lessons to check his understanding and explain some things better. He also needs to quit smoking! He said it would be really hard, but he really wants to be baptized so he's gonna put the effort in! Prayers for him would be much appreciated!!!
Earl is doing pretty good! He's still really depressed and is still getting over his wife dying, but the gospel and all the people he's met in the ward have given him a lot of comfort! He's been really excited to take his wife's name to the temple. Hopefully it happens soon!
So we got a referral from a lady in Eagle Mountain a couple weeks ago(I've probably already mentioned it). But we finally got in contact with the family Saturday morning. They were super nice and let us right in! Then they fed us breakfast and everything! We talked to the wife about the Plan of Salvation because she has very little Christian knowledge. She was very interested and asked us to come back next week. We want to teach their whole family, but we'd have to get the dad involved. He's a really nice guy, just not interested...
Another family on our radar. The Roane's. We met them a while ago at dinner with a member. We went by them last night so they could meet Elder Poulsen. They are so nice!! They are just too fantastic! Their family is so perfect, it has to be eternal! They have 3 kids that are all primary age. They asked us tons of questions about being a missionary and stuff. Then they invited us over for dinner! Hopefully that'll be our chance to teach them something! They also asked us if we had enough food and gave us tons of stuff! Graham crakcers, CapriSuns (Sarah
), and a whole watermelon!! It was pretty awesome! They are too nice to us!
We've had some good success this week! It just keeps getting better and better! The Lord is definitely preparing the hearts of his people!
Love you all! Keep being the best! Keep reading the Book of Mormon! Keep praying! Have a great week!
Love, Elder Duke
