This week has been good! Lots of change from one companion to the next but its been fun! Elder Young has been helping me a lot! Elder Young is a great missionary. This week we've been just going through our pool of investigators, less-actives, and recent converts.. and just making sure that we are finding the elect people who are looking for the gospel.. we've had to drop a couple of investigators because they weren't keeping commitments and were just not ready.. which is kinda sad but Elder Young has been teaching me that there are people who desperately need the gospel.. they might not know it but those are the people that we need to teach and share our message with.
Other than that its been a really good week. We are going to have a lot of baptisms very soon! Its been very exciting to have so many people excited for baptism as much as I am!
I know that the Lord will prepare a way for them as long as they stay diligent in keeping his commandments! For example we have this man named Sama.. he is awesome and we've been teaching him for a while.. but hes finally excepted to be baptized and has been thanking us for helping him find his church!
And then there is the Benjamin family! They were a less-active family and when we went to go visit them awhile back for the first time, we found out that they had a non-member cousin living with them.. so we asked her is we could start teaching her and she accepted and now that we've been teaching her with the family.. the family has been able to bear solemn testimony about the principles and teachings about the church.. and it has rekindled the love that they have felt from their Savior. and now they are coming back to church and Zita ( the name of the cousin we have been teaching with the family ) has also accepted the invitation to be baptized and its made me so happy for her and the Benjamin family!!
Please tell Elder Kupka.. or should I say Brother Trent Kupka.. that I love an miss him! :) Enjoy his homecoming and let me know how it goes please!
