We are home now from a wonderful day in Norwich Branch.  We picked Sis Pantohus up this morning. People were so gracious to her and loving.   As I sat by her in church I knew that she had to be feeling the spirit.  The first testimony was from a visitor who bore a very strong witness  of the Holy Ghost and told (just enough) about her conversion.  It was a very spiritual meeting.  After sacrament meeting, Sis. Pantohus said that she wasn't quite ready for three hours of church so we took her home.  We had previously scheduled to meet with her again at 12:30 but as we dropped her off and mentioned it, she was a little hesitant.  Craig and I left not knowing for sure is we would get in again this Sunday.  She said she would text the missionaries and let them know.  I did not know what to expect.  After Relief Society Craig came to get me because she wanted to meet.  It was a wonderful visit.  As we left, we asked about church next week and she agreed to let us pick her up again.  I am so grateful to be seeing the growth in her.  She asks questions about the scriptures and she now says our closing prayer.  This has truly been a journal entry day.  Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we strive to continue to move forward.  Please let Sis McMahon know, if you can, that we are doing everything that we can at this time.  Love you both for setting such a great example for us.  The Lord truly knows us and loves us.  He will bless us if we but let him lead the way.

Love you, Sister Nordfelt

Dixie and Craig,

I talked with Sister McMahon this week and she is absolutely thrilled that her mother has agreed to go to church with you on Sunday.  She told me that she has been praying very hard that someONE would reach out to her mother and take the time to make her a friend and teach her.

She wanted me to tell you that you are an answer to her prayers.  We talked again how very important the ONE is to Heavenly Father and he wants ALL of his children to return to him not a select few.  We will will praying for you and Sister McMahon's mother on Sunday that she will be touched by the spirit and willing to soften her heart to learning, reading and gaining a testimony of the Book of Mormon.

We love you and love that you are an answer to prayer.  Let me know how Sunday goes.

Diane
