This week has been very nice!! Of course the temple trip was awesome for the ward members and you could see it in there faces as they bore their testimonies about the temple and the experiences that they have had there with each other!!
It's always great and to see ward members using the temples even if they have to travel super far for it!! :) This week was a little long but it was nice! I think the Lord is seeing the work that we are doing and is blessing us because last week we had a ton of new investigators!! Some just showing up and asking us to teach them! Usually when that happens its the Lord trusting us with certain people and tasks to accomplish! I always feel grateful and blessed when it starts to happen, cause then I know I'm doing all I can! :) So its a nice feeling!
One of the people we started teaching is a guy named Sinoyolo.. he is sweet and very very knowledgeable about the bible! His religion is "seventh day Adventist".... which by my past experience with other members of that church have been the worst, and Jehovah witnesses too.. but that's a whole other story.. haha but yeah they are just not very nice.. but Sinoyolo is very open minded and has a ton of questions about certain things of the gospel! We just have to go very slowly with him! :) but I have high hopes for this one!
This week has been great! Lots of preparation for the baptism!! Which was on Saturday!! It was great! It went very well! There could have been more people there but hey.. we count our blessings!:) I got the honor of baptizing her!! It was nice! This was the first baptism I've done on mission! :) I mean physically.. I've taught a lot of people to baptism but this is the first I've gotten to do the ordinance! :)
Oh.. and I got transfer news on Saturday as well!! I'm staying ( thank goodness ) and I'm getting Elder Bowers! He is from Idaho. We will get a long just fine!! :) The funny thing is, that he is coming from Ilinge one of the areas that I have served in so I'm excited to talk to him about that but yeah I'm grateful that the Lord is trusting us more in this area and I cant wait to see what comes next!!
I hope you all have a great week!! Love you and miss you all a lot!! :)
love,
