This last week was amazing. We had two baptisms, a husband and wife. They are so amazing. Their testimonies are fire and contagious. It was so amazing to see them get baptized and teach them. they really demonstrated great faith and are already seeing blessings come down from Heaven.
Last Tuesday we worked with some members and were able to split. It was good because we were able to cover twice as much ground and go to a lot of people. We were able to find new people and visit current investigators, it was a very effective day.
On Wednesday we were able to contact a great former investigator. They are still super nice and willing to listen. That was a tender mercy. We also got a referral from a member and talked to a ton of people. We planted a lot of seeds. We hope we can go back to all of those people.
On Thursday we had exchanges with the assistants in their area. I was able to go with my old companion elder Okuonghae. We had a great day. We worked hard and lots of funny things happened to us. They have some really funny investigators and some really great ones. I learned a lot going on exchanges today.
On Friday we were back in our area and had a tender mercy and were able to find a member we were looking for. We had been all over and then we just happened to talk to the right person who pointed us in the right direction. We also taught the family who was getting baptized. They were so excited and so ready to be baptized.
On Saturday it was the baptism!!!!!!!!!!! It was such a good day. The couple was so happy and excited and so were we. The members were awesome. They filled the font and helped with the program and a lot of them attended the baptism. The people that were baptized really felt the love of the ward. It was a great service. I baptized the wife and a member baptized the husband. One of the best parts of the day was hearing them bear their testimonies after they were baptized. The Spirit was so strong.
On Sunday they were confirmed. I was able to confirm one of them. The Spirit was just as strong at the baptism if not stronger. It was such a happy feeling and they had such a happy welcome into the ward. Later in the day we were able to find and teach a new investigator who was awesome. He had many questions and we were able to answer them in a way he understood.
Yesterday we found out who is transferring. I will not be transferring, so I will finish my mission in this area. Sprint to the end! lots more to do. Hope you all have a great week.
