So this was an awesome week in the
mission, we had a baptism of a 9 year old boy in a family that we have been
working with to get them active again.
We have them coming to church
again and we were able to baptism the boy in the family. His name is Ben and he
is a total stud. We were talking with him about a week ago and we got to the
point to where we were able to dunk him and we asked him." hey Ben, when
do you want to be baptized?" He was like "how about this Sunday? haha
We said sure why not? So he just had his baptism yesterday and I will get to
confirm him in the upcoming week.
Yesterday was just as good of day
for a 12 year old kid from a less active family that we have been working with,
that has come back in to activity. They asked me if i would confer the
priesthood to him :) so yesterday I had a baptism and I also got to confer the
priesthood to another boy that we have been working with in the English work.
It was such a rewarding day and I'm glad it came. I have been soooo busy the
past week, a lot of the days we had to skip lunch and sometimes dinner. Our
area is soo close to really taking off. we have been working our butts off.
Hopefully we will be dunking people left and right. It is all starting to come
around.
GET IN THE WATER!What an exciting week for him to see the progress. In his letter last week he said that he has offically started to learn Meinh. When he went into the mission home to pick up the nessecary tools to learn the langage they gave him a Meinh dictionary and Bible and told him good luck. He is still with Elder Cheney who speaks Meinh and will remain companions with him until November. He said that after 1 week, he could read Meinh, but has a goal to be speaking and understanding at least 50% by next transfer. The excitement just radiates from his emails and letters, I love it.
