10-22-12


Another week has come and passed. Where does time go? I have no clue. But things are going great because Linda was Baptized! It was amazing! And we set another date with an investigator! so things are working well here.
       Monday, was zone pday so we went out to the building out in St. Peters to play glow in the dark volleyball, and basketball. It was fun hanging out with other missionaries and stuff. It is always great to hang out with other missionaries. After that we had a big FHE at the church. It went great. The Moise family came along with Monica one of new investigators from last week. It was really awesome. After we ate dinner we taught the the third lesson to everyone. It was good and was way solid. Monica and the Moises are way awesome!
       Tuesday was good. We had District meeting that morning. After all of that we had a long way to travel home on the bus. We had two differnt appointments fall through which stunk. But we had a great appointment with Monica that day. Where we comiited her to a date for baptism which is nov 3rd. It was a great lesson teaching the first to her. She really likes it all. She even went to mutual the next day.
       Wednesday was good. We had a couple way good apointments. One of them was with Chauncei. It went really wel. Every time we go there planning on teaching the first lesson but it hasnt happened though because it just always go into something else and we read a chapter in the Book of Mormon which went good because he understood and it was what he needed at that moment. We had antoher good lesson with the Moise family. They want to be batpized, they are just rying to find a date that they can have the baptism on in November. It was great.
    Thursday we had Lindas Baptismal interview that went well. She passed! We had a a good lesson with Andrea and her daugther and her niece. We took Riley and Olivia with us to the lesson. They connected well with them. We picked up two new investigators with the daughter and the niece. So that was cool!
       Friday was weekly planning. That went good. Then we had a lesson with the Carpinteros which was interesting. The lesson was focussed on the Great apostasy and the restoration It was intersting I have to say. haha Then we had dinner at the Moises and watched the Joseph Smith Prophet of the Restoration. It was great! They loved having the visual and help strengthen there testimony in about him. They really enjoyed the movie though and It made us really happy. It really is good for teaching. They Moises take such good care of us though.
       Saturday was the big day. But before teh baptism we had an appointment with Monica which went well. It goes pretty long because she really loves to talk. The whole lesson was really focussed on Prayer. That was not what we planned to talk about but it the Spirit guided us to that. Really cool. Then we had an appointment fall through with Pierre which was sad... He never dropps appointments. Then we had Lindas Baptism! It was great. her mother came. It was really cool Baptizing her. It was a really sacred moment. I havent had an investigator have me personally baptize them since I was in ESTL. So getting the font was great, being able to perform that very special ordinance. It was really awesome because we have been working for such a long time to get her to this point.
        Sunday was good as every Sunday is. We did not have very many lessons that day though. We did have a good Less active lesson that went very well and we did go by to see the Moises because they missed church because Phil was called into work. We also were able to connect back up with Donna who we havent taught in a while which was really good.
  Today we still do not know what we are doing to have fun but we will ahve a lesson tonight at dinner with Monica and maybe the Moises! I hope you all have a great week!
