Hey Everyone,
My new companion is a
really good guy. He is a really good teacher. It’s
fun being the companion who was already in the area and knows it. I get
to make most of the decisions about who we teach and I usually take the lead
teaching since I know the investigators and their situations. I think we
have a lot of potential together. We got 5 commitments to baptism this
week.

We had a baptism on Saturday
for the 16 year old (Johnny) who started going to church with his friends
months ago. Funny story though, I was in the room
with the pump with another elder turning it on to fill the font when a pipe
exploded and completely soaked us. We called the other elders in our
district and we just took turns holding the pipe together so the font could
fill. We got it full just in time for the baptism and it turned out well.
I watched the training last night but
the internet here is terrible so we couldn’t understand the first hour because
the audio was really messed up. I hear we get to start using computers or
something though.
The clouds here have to be the coolest
in the world.
This week I had a great
experience with prayer while looking for the house of a reference. We
didn’t have very good instructions about where it was but we had a description
of what it looked like. We found a house that matched the description but
we knocked and found out it wasn’t the right house. After looking for a
while longer without any success we decided to say a prayer. After the
prayer the next house we knocked wasn’t it but the owner knew the person we
were looking for. We explained who we are and the owner of the house told
us she knew some Mormons and wanted to learn more so we have an appointment
with that family and we were able to find the house we were looking for.
The help we get as missionaries is pretty amazing.
