Week 51 (May 8th, 2017)

Alright so we had some pretty good steps happen out here in the ward of Mañanitas. It was a big process of moving along and helping the mission work! I loved it. Here's the roll out:

1. On Saturday we had a baptism! A 13 year old kid got baptized. The ordinance was performed by the first councilor in the bishopric, he is great, we had all of the lessons in this guys house. It was pretty solid. So we baptized him Saturday and confirmed him Saturday.

2. We had ward council on Sunday for the third time this year. To me that's a miracle if you ask me. Although we did show up a little late and our empanga bishop didn't give us much time to talk we did get a couple words in and the members showed support, minus the bishop.

3. We had 2 more baptisms Sunday after the reunions, it was great. 2 kids, whose mother and sister are members got baptized. Its funny because my companion told me they worked with these kids twice a week and could not interest them in the gospel, but when I showed up we taught them a lesson and put a baptismal date with them the first day. And now they are baptized. It was a great service, fast, and the spirit was strong.

4. After the baptism and the ward council we met with our ward mission leader and a member to discuss how we could have more ward activities, while still including members who live far from the chapel. Its a good plan and we will but it in to place hopefully this Thursday with a Group Night in the church, and then we will move around the area working with active families and including less active families. Its a great plan and we already have some member support so we should baptize like everybody.

5. My companion is starting to figure out obedience. Its been 4 weeks, but things are finally beginning to click a little bit.

And that would be it for the week. Pretty much we killed it. And mothers day is next week and I cant wait to talk to everyone!! Love you all!!!
