What a great week it has been! I will try and account for the blessings we've received this week in this email as well as I can. This week was really busy for us so it could have been easy for us to overlook many of the blessings we received. On Monday we played basketball for the last time with a few of those elders because of transfers. All that they knew was that they were leaving, not where they were going. On Tuesday we had a good district meeting by our district leader, Elder Sorenson. With the rest of the week being really busy we had to fit all of the lessons we had planned earlier into the time we had on Tuesday. The one of significance was Celine. Since she was getting baptized on Saturday we had to have Elder Sorenson give her an interview...she passed with flying colors! Wednesday we had transfers and it was a little different than it usually is. We trained all of the missionaries that would be trainers, announced their companions, and then headed to the middle of the mission to announce everyone else companions. We got a new companion, his name is Elder Sorenson. Our previous district leader! He is an awesome missionary and we are stoked to have him with us. That night we had an appointment with Celine's parents to discuss the decision she was making to be baptized and explain a lot of the doctrines. They aren't getting baptized but I feel like not only her parents are more comfortable with it but her sister has been asking a lot more questions about points of doctrine so it was a success.
As far as
Celine's baptism goes....it went FANTASTIC! Elder McPherson baptized her and I
confirmed her. We were anticipating about 40 people to show up which I a ton of
people in the first place, there ended up being 80 people at this baptism. It
was a strong meeting. We have a return appointment with one of her friends
because of it. General conference was as uplifting as I hoped it was going to
be. I had four specific questions going into it and I was blessed to have
direction on each one of them. I'm not going to give any spiritual thought
today, Id rather give a commitment. Set goals and live conference. A meeting
does nothing for us(even if we felt the spirit) unless we get something out of
it and set goals to improve. Love and miss y'all
All is well.
