1,015 Miracles

Hey there!  How are all of you doing?  Thanks for the letters, I sure love them!  

That's awesome that the Church News had an article about the Mexico temples.  It is true, when the members go straight to the temple and straight back they are completely safe.  Unfortunately not everyone has followed this council and I've heard some sad stories.  It reminds me of how the Children of Israel just needed to look and they would live.  Unfortunately, that was too easy for some people and they didn't heed the council.  Often, we'll be protected as long as we just do the small things.  It's cool that they quoted the stake president.  He's a great man.  We actually have stake conference this weekend and there are rumors of a general authority coming.  We'll see if those rumors are true.  I'm excited for conference.

 
On Tuesday we had zone training. It was great! I love to get together with the other missionaries and learn how to become the type of missionaries the Lord needs.  They went over some of the things that had happened in the past year and we had 1,015 baptisms!  To me, that is 1,015 miracles.  Every baptism is a miracle.  We've been promised by General Authorities that as we are obedient with exactness that we will double and even triple the number of baptisms in this mission.  Amazing huh? Thousands of souls will come unto Jesus Christ this year.  

I also had an interview with President Walker on Tuesday.  He and I had a really good conversation about what had happened in this area since I've been here.  We were both crying because of the miracles here and he told me that it's my time and that I'll be getting transferred next week.  Transfers are a week from Wednesday.  Only time will tell where I get sent.  I'm excited for a change and the opportunity to learn, grow, and invite more souls to come unto Christ.

We had a lot of success last week.  We were able to find some new investigators and help people make and keep commitments.  It was great.  I found that members are key.  Members are so so important.  Last night some of the Elders that live on the other side of the mountain called us to let us know that one of their investigators moved into our area so we'll be teaching him AND he's getting baptized on Saturday!  Miracle!  Also, Eddy is doing amazing so he'll be getting baptized on Saturday as well!  I'm so excited!  It's going to be an amazing week!

Thanks for all that you do for me!  Thanks for praying for our investigators and please continue to do so.  I love you all!  Have a great week!

Love,
