Week 56 (June 12th 2017)

Wow what a week we had. I would like to start by saying thank you for the package. I got one of the three. The halfway one, and I got word last night that the secretaries have the other two and I hopefully will get them tomorrow. I will hopefully make some brownies tomorrow as well!! 

On Wednesday we had a half mission conference. We talked about how to baptize more people and I am a living witness that everything that they are teaching in those conferences works. Every time the Mission President said to do something and I had already done it I could already see the blessings that had come from it. (for example, finding a new investigator every day) It was a great teaching experience and I learned ways that I could better my teaching and have more people prepared for baptism. 

Then Thursday we made a visit to a lady who is very prepared for baptism, she just has a crazy work schedule. She wasn't even home when we got there but we talked to her husband and he told us that she might have Friday free to be taught. So that Friday morning I called and asked if she was free. She was, and then by a miracle the zone leaders showed up to our house to see if we were waking up on time, but it turns out that we needed them there to do a baptismal interview. So we showed up and did the interview and baptized her the same day!! It was like an emergency baptisms haha!! But it was a great baptismal service and the whole family was very happy!! 

And then today my companion and I decided that we needed to work harder in our area so in the morning rather than just starting our P-day we went out and did some finding. We found one way awesome family that is totally ready to hear and accept the gospel and then we found another family that the mom was ready to reject us but I invited everyone in the house to listen to us and it turns out her daughter wanted to hear us and was super excited to put a return appointment. The work out here is prospering!!! 

Also one night my companion and I didn't have a dinner appointment so we made some fajitas in our apartment! I told my comp if he buys the ingredients I can cook anything. Well they were delicious! It took forever though. Pictures attached. 

Anyway, I think that's it for the week! Love and miss you all!!
