Hello, hello, hello, how is everyone? This was another great week with Two Baptisms which were for Kathy and her daughter Candace. So many great things happening here in Hazelwood 2.
Monday we decided to hit up the Union Station shopping place and just walk around with the two other sets of missionaries. That place got boring then we went the the Basilica here in St. Louis. It has like one of the largest mosiacs in the world or something of that sort. The place us huge. It was a lot of fun to check out and everything and see some cultural things here in the City of St. Louis. I almost have done everything there is do to here it seems like sometimes. But we all found something we have not done yet! That night we had a big dinner thing at the church with our a few of our investigators and with a family in the ward. It was a lot of fun!
Tuesday was a good day. We had a few appointments to get to after we had district meeting. One was with Linda which went well. The other was with Emonie and Anieyha who are sisters. They brother used to be an investigator. It was awesome because Olivia our recent convert is thinking about going on a mission now which is pretty cool. She is also doing good missionary work by bring her brother to church and by giving us referals. It is so sweet!!!
Wednesday was supposed to be a great day but it ended up not being all that great... oh well. haha That tends to happen a lot on ocasion. Not everyday is perfect. We had a couple appointments we had fall though with some potentials. But we wer eable to reschedule though which is nice.
Thursday we had exchanges. I was with the DL in his area. We found a couple a good potentials and we had a new investiagotor for them found. While we were tracting there was a AT&T install guy sitting in his truck parked in the street. We caught him taking pictures of us knocking on a door near his truck. We then went up to him and asked him why is took a picture of us. He just said it is because he never sees missionarys like us. It was funny. That night we switched back. We had a lesson with Kathy and Candace. It was good then they were interviewed for baptism. Which went well because they passed!!! Then we had a lesson with Scotti. That went great also.
Friday we had weekly planning which went ok. It is one of the hardest times of the week beause we have to sit down and plan and go over so many different things. We then had another lesson with Linda that day and with the Aneiya and Emonie. They went well again. Linda has some concerns but they are easily resolved. They have been pretty cool to see how she is changing.
Saturday was the big day. It was awesome because that is when Kathy and Candace were baptized!!! Linda came to the Baptism to see it also! We did not get as many people to show up as hoped. I performed a musical number on the Uke singing when I am baptized. I have done that song at another baptism but I changed it up a little from the video you may have seen me sing on youtube that a member put up. It went well. To be able to invite the spirit through song is a great blessing. The song of the righteous is a prayer unto God. After the Baptism was a ward activity which was fun. Because we had investigators there we were allowed to be there. That is our Presidents policy. It was fun. They did a game show night. I got to go up and play a minute to win it game.
Sunday was Kathys and Candaces confirmation during Sacrament meeting. We had a few investigators there who were able to witness it and see how it is and to be able to feel the spirit. It was a very speical moment during the confirmations being a part of the circle and feel the person being confirmed recieving the Spirit. It is very speical. Very Sacred. That night we picked up a new investigator Orlando. He was a way cool guy.
This week will be interesting because we will be moving out of the members place we live in right now to move to an appartmetn that is actually in our area! yes! no more hour long bus rides to our area. Hope your week is going well!
Love,
