SO anyways this week flew by and I dont exactly remember everything that happened nor do I have the tinme to relate it all back but just to start... our mission is having crazy success and it really is just so incredible. Last month we had 200 baptisms in the mission this last week me and ELder FLitton baptized 3 people. Irmao puxu, Irmao Daneal, and Irmao Johanes. Super amazing success.
Irmao Puxu was a reference from a Memeber in our group, actually her little brother and she had already taught him all the lessons and he wanted to get baptised? So we just had to reteach everything one time and then we baptized him.... so crazy how willing the people are to accept the gospel, then Irmao Daneal was also a reference from Irmao Geramias who we baptized two weeks ago, man references really make all the difference out her on the mission, nothing is more effective than having a really close friend or family member bearing testimony of the things that you are teaching.... Then Irmao Johanes.... I dont know if anyone will remember but we tried to have him baptized two weeks in a row but he had tests during the baptism two times.... so that was tough but he finally showed up this week and the baptism was super awesome.. The only problem that we had was that we had two other jovens that were planned for this last saturday but they didnt show up for the baptism.... then they showed up for the sacrament meeting and got up to "bear his testimony" and he pretty much walked up to the front and said.... well the missionaries planned a baptism for me yesterday but I didnt show up because I didnt feel ready to be baptized I still have sins that i want to commit....... woowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....... hahaha boy do we need to sit down with him and talk, It really is to bad some times because the people here will lie to you face and give you the answers you want to hear instead of the truth so a lot of times we really have to check and make sure someone wants to be baptized or not.
Super interesting work out here in good ol dondo but the work is running and I have a testimony that the church really is led by a living prophet who receives specific and directed advice for every facet of the church. I love the gospel and the book of mormon. I had a close friend email me and talk to me about the power of the book of Mormon and I really just want to testify that as we read and ponder about the things contained we all can receive real and personal revelation that the book is true. Love yall
