Week 19--November 25, 2013

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! I hope everybody is having a great week and that everyone can enjoy this holiday season.

I can't believe that this transfer is coming to an end at the end of this week. It seems to me like every transfer gets better and better. The way it is kind of looking they are going to split the area at the end of the week and put Sisters in the ward too.  It is also very likely that Elder McConkie will be transferred to a new area since he is still in his first area. So I may be getting a new companion again. But I'll worry about that Next week. We need to be finishers at the end of each transfer and not be lazy.

It has been a good week and a good transfer. We have achieved the mission Standard of Excellence every week so far this transfer, We have Baptized and we should have two more baptisms this weekend, but if we don't it is okay, because both of them are totally committed to being baptized. The only thing that would stop them from getting baptized this weekend would be if the boy's mom doesn't recover from her surgery in time, so if it doesn't happen this weekend it will happen in the very near future. It is exciting to see the work progressing.

We had an awesome experience yesterday with a man we met on the street named Mark. So Mark lives up the street from us and we saw him bringing a HUGE fish tank out of his car and into his house. We helped him carry his tank into the house and then we taught him a lesson. He has committed to read the Book of Mormon, he hates his pastor because he mixes the bible with his own philosophies. Mark my words we will be baptized before the end of December. He is prepared and is ready to receive the gospel. It's incredible to see the Ballard Promise in action. (see this post.)
