This week was the best I have had since I have been here in Fenton. Oh Yeah! Probably because Nicki entered into the waters of Baptism! With another investigator, Tiffene with a Baptismal date in a few weeks:) sorry for emailing a day late but all the Libraries were closed yesterday... SO we had to do it today.
Last Monday we went to the Zoo. We went because it was free:) haha It was fun. It is cool to see animals. We saw a lot of members there who would come up and talk to us. Everytime we go to a place like that there are a bunch of members.
Tuesday was good. We went to a bunch of part members and actually got to meet up with them. It was good. We actually got one of our less actives to take us by Nicki's to check up on her to keep in good contact with her the week before her baptism. It was cool. Our less active loved being there with us theaching a lesson. He has not been active in over 30 years or something like that.
Wednesday was exchanges, I took elder Texiara with me here in Fenton and my comp went to Arnold with Harris. Texiara is a brand new greenie. So it is fun to take him around. Especially to appointments. Just because they get nervous and tense up. But he doesnt tense up to much. haha We had an appointment with Nicki and that the Bishop came to with us. Then Nicki was Interview for Baptism by our District leader Elder Harris. She passed! haha
Thursday we saw one of our investigators we have not seen in a very long time. We dropped her that day. Oh well. She was not keeping commitments. We got to see on of our part members. It was nice to see them. We have been making a huge progress with the non member wife to where we think tshe might come to church soon with her husband if her husband gets active again. That night we finally had a coordination meeting with the ward mission leader.
Friday we had d-meet with the assistants and zls. It was nice. It was our first one we have had this transfer yet. It was cool seeing Elder Ditto who I used to see all the time. We have been able to start to get many member present lessons every week. Which we got to teach Heikes mom and show her the Restoration video in German so she can understand better. haha IT was really cool because the Spirit is always the same.
Saturday was the day of my brothers wedding and the Baptism!!! Early that morning we went to the Stake Center to clean out the font and fill it up:) Nicki's Baptism went so well. It was great. I played the Ukele and sang along with my Comp and another member "When I am Baptized" in the childrens songbook. It went great:) Then Nicki was Baptized by one of our Members who has fellowshipped her. Which is great. Because us misisonaries come and go but the members stay. The service was Beautiful. We did it in the Chapel which is always better. Many people showed up for the service. That night at a dinner appointment with a member they had a non member friend there. We asked if we could teach them the first lesson. They acceppted and they were picked up as a new investigator.
Sunday at church Nicki was Confirmed. When she was being comfirmed the spirit was so strong there. It was such a sacred moment that I will never forget. She really let this change her life. She will go on to do great things. Because she has really learned a lot and will continue to progress. She has had the perfect conversion story if you ask me espically being in utah last week. haha That day we went and taught Pete and Charlie. We are probably going to drop the both of them soon. They have not made much progress. Yesterday was Memorial day of course. We did service for a less active in the morning and then we went the ward bbq. It was fun to hang out with people in the ward espcially when we can never really. After that we went and to play bball with a bunch of missionaries. IT was fun. Yes.
I hope everybody had a great week! I love you all.
Love,
Elder Derek Turner
