hey everyone! how are you guys doing this week?! i hope you all had a great thanksgiving! Mine was good as well. i was doing missionary work! I guess i will tell you about my week!
OUR ZONE ROCKS! we just about met all of our goals in the whole zone!!! everyone achieved the mission standard. and this week is going to be even better! we already have 13 baptisms that are all ready. then we have 2 other that could work out still. that is amazing for a small zone like ours!!! I am so happy and i love your zone. i love my area and everything is great in the zone.
this week was a great week! we had a baptism this week it was miguel (michael). he is 87 years old and cant talk or take care of himself. his family wanted him to be baptized and he still understands everything. it took three of us to baptize him. he cant close his mouth by himself though. so guess who was in charge of covering his mouth and nose. and guess who was the one that let water into his mouth! i felt like crap! he choked a little bit but he was able to get over it quickly. it was a great experience. we also confirmed him right after the baptism and everyone was wet still. it was awesome!
this week was also district conference(stake conference). it was great. president tanner was here with his two counselors that both used to be 70s, President Cooper and President Barbour. It was so spiritual! it was a great expereience but unfortunately i got to get off becuase this internet place closes right now for lunch. i love you guys.
everything is going great!
love,
