Week #7

What an awesome week! This transfer is flying by! We are more than half way done and it feels like it's been a week and a half! Lots of things have happened this week and it's been awesome. The spirit has been so strong this week, and Elder Webb and I have had much success thanks to the spirit. We don't have the ability to do anything we've done without the spirit.

First, I had my first mission baptism! It was on Wednesday, her name is Linda. Her son Scott baptized her, and it was an awesome experience. Linda was also confirmed Sunday. She's doing really well and is very happy!

We also committed more investigators to be baptized, so we now have 7 baptisms lined up in this area. I warms my heart to see how our message changes people through the power of the spirit. The spirit plays the biggest role in the conversion of investigators, as well as in our own conversion. No matter what, everyone has to go through their own conversion, born into the church or not. It's all through humbling yourself, turning to the Lord, and serving him with your all. We found I believe 13 new investigators this week. The work really is thriving.

Now for the entertaining parts haha. I was almost hit by a car 2 different times this week! And they both got mad at me, it was really funny haha. We also received a referral to go to a drug-selling house, so we went there and they were interested in our message! There's 5 of them living there together and none of them are related haha. Also, we had a family sign up for a dinner appointment, and it was the same day as their daughter's WEDDING RECEPTION. So our dinner, we showed up to a reception hall with 80 people we had never met before to eat dinner. It was definitely a new experience haha. But it made the week that much better!

Lastly, all of my health problems I've been having have all gone away except for my heart problems, but I've had those since freshman year so it's nothing new! 

That's all for this week! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I love you all. God is real, His power is great, and his love is endless. The power of the Spirit is real and stronger than I could've ever imagined. The church is true. The Book of Mormon is a true testament of Jesus Christ, it is the keystone of our religion and goes hand in hand with the bible. Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I love the mission. It is changing my life. Until next week. Love you all.
