Hey Family :)
Well I made it another week out here. And my week was good,
it was pretty normal all in all but it was good, and once again we worked super
hard! And it's interesting here because we aren't having very much success, but I
am working harder than I ever have out here. We are doing
everything that we should to be; being obedient, focusing hard on listening to
the Spirit and I
have been studying in the mornings better than ever before. I'm really looking
for everything in the scriptures that relates to my life and that relates to
others. I have been trying to talk more in our lessons and be more out going
and more socialable with the members. And I want to really help the people here
to learn about the gospel and for the members to always remember why they're
here in this church. I have the faith that I'll be blessed for
being obedient. Hopefully I'll be able to recieve the promise in Ether 12:6!!!!
But I am happy and we do have two baptisms for the next two
weeks!!!!
So ya we are having success
haha I just want more... :)
So this next week we have the baptism of Investigator F. and he is 15 years od and he is the grandson of Investigator J. He
is wonderful! He has been progressing very well and I feel like I need to
baptize someone from this family haha (Investigator J. fell through with his baptism date
again and was sick in the hospital for about a week... so we have kinda given
up on trying to baptize him, maybe someday some other elders will baptize him
but for right now I'm fine with just baptizing his grandson) Franklin
is great! He went to the mutual for the church on Saturday and helped the
Priest Quorum clean the church too!!! I am super excited for his baptism!
And then the week that follows, we have a baptism of another
kid who is named Investigator A. He is 18 years old and honestly is one of the strongest
investigators that I have had so far! His testimony is gigantic and he honestly was
someone just waiting to recieve the gospel!! He will be baptized the 7th of
June! Also he said a prayer in Elders Quorum and I promise you it was just as
good as what the Bishop would say! He has recieved every lesson perfectly and
has no other problems to work through to be baptized. It's so great and I can't
wait for his baptism and I hope so badly that after he decides to serve a
mission!!!! That would be the coolest thing ever!!
So those are the two people that we are really working
with right now and they keep me going out here everyday. I can't wait to actually
baptize again because I don't know if you've noticed but I've gone almost two months
without a baptism and I would love some more :)
But, I am doing great and I love the Gospel! I love helping people out here come unto Christ. I love teaching others how to really be happy and to be able to testify to them that I am happy because of the Gospel. I know this church is true and everyday I enjoy sharing it more and more.
