Successful Week

So turns out we get to do our e-mailing and shopping today. I can't complain, because it's better than nothing! Well, since Wednesday nothing too much has happened. Still don't have too much time to write in my journal and do personal things but it's all good. Friday afternoon I performed my first baptismal interview. So everything went pretty well with that. I got a few more of them coming up this week to do too. The family that we had been preparing to get baptized is going to be baptized this Saturday. Well, 3 of them. The 15 year old daughter wants to be a rebel. So we're going to keep working with her. But something amazing happened on Saturday. We were going and talking to some potentials/talking to people and we ran into 3 or 4 people that can get baptized in September. We met this one lady who goes to church every week, and pays tithing, and all that. Her only hold up is that she worries her relationship with her son will be affected by it. Because he's catholic, so she thinks if she gets baptized he'll get mad and won't bring the grandkids around any more. Then another lady we found is less-active and has a 9 year old daughter that wants to get baptized. She was receiving lessons from missionaries, and the missionaries stopped going by because she got sick. Then we met another lady that has 3 kids that are members. Her and her oldest son are not members. She likes the church but was baptized when she was a baby so she doesn't see a need to be re-baptized. So it was a pretty good day on Saturday. Hopefully they all are as solid as they sound. We have a few other potentials for baptism too. so it should be good.

Well everything is going well here I'm kind of excited for the meetings this week. Yeah it's from 9:00-4:45, but from what President Atkinson told me everybody has loved the mini-trainings they did as test runs. Well my training that I gave today went well. I think. So that was good. I don't know I can't think of much else. I'm loving being able to serve and help the other missionaries It's tough, but good. Well I can't think of too much more to write.

Going a Little Crazy

Everything is going good here. Just a little crazy. I don't want to use it as an excuse, but since I've been a DL it seems like I have no time. I'm up doing stuff up until 10:30. But it's all good.  Just a little taste of what it will be like with a career. Well I don't have too much time.  Sorry this is so short.

Little Trials

Everything here is still going swimmingly. I don't  know the work is going really slow for me. I'm used to having a lot of success and baptisms, and here it's not like that. We're struggling to get someone with a baptismal date. But we added 7 new investigators last week, so we should be seeing some improvements pretty soon. The greenies are still doing good. They're both solid. But it's still taking a lot out of me trying to train the both of them at the same time. It's tough because they both have their strengths and weaknesses, and so I have to help both of them on two different things at the same time. But i'm loving it still. Right now there are a few investigators that we are working with that are close to baptism. One of them is Rosalva. She seems like she knows everything we are teaching is true, but that she isn't sure that tshe wants to know it's true. So that's a little frustrating. But we think that she will get baptized in a few weeks. Just in time for me to leave. Then there are a few more families that we are working with. One of them we taught last night. They don't go to any church, and have a son that was baptized three years ago. And they seem like they are going to be some pretty good investigators. I'm just hoping that we will be able to give somebody a baptismal date pretty soon. Well I think that that is about it. I mean it's pretty much the same thing. Trying to find teach and baptize the elect. But I guess I should have been expecting a time that would be a little harder on the mission. Especially since I've had so much success. It's kind of like with the story of Job. I've been given a lot so I'm just going through a little trial right now. Hopefully my next area will have a lot of work to do.  Well I will let y'all know how everything goes with transfers this week. Hopefully I'll be able to report good things and nothing bad.
