Week of Baptisms

Hello!!

Sister Morris, ...., ....., Sister Reynolds, Sister Tayco & Sister Jay.
Madison has been companions with.

 This week has been super good! We are trying to get the whole stake change under control and trying to make our wards mesh. I feel like, as a missionary, I am a professional friend finder. Our infomercial would go something like this, "in need of a friend? Call the sisters! They can help you match with those around you! Just call their toll free number etc..."  Ha-ha! But really, it is hard when a ward changes and you have to find new fellowships for your investigators and recent converts but all things can happen when you are in the service of the Lord!

 I am so grateful for our leaders in the ward. Our Bishop, Bishop Oliver is amazing. He is a funny man and we have some good laughs but I love seeing how much love he has for these people he is serving. He is a convert to the church and I think that gives him a lot of perspective. I am also grateful for our Ward mission leader and His family!  The Ramsey’s are amazing and they are so willing to help in any way they can. Whether that is with helping the work progress or getting us cold medicine because of the rain. Just good people in general. I am thankful to be in a church that is run by our Savior Jesus Christ. It helps us to know how we need to serve and treat those around us! We are so blessed!!

 Transfers were this week and good news, I AM STAYING! Sister Morris is stuck with me for another week! Ha-ha! We have been stressing about it for a while now but it is good to know that we can keep learning from each other! We have had some fun times lately... some of those consist of music videos to our "sing me a scripture" CD. I don’t think we will be sharing that one anytime soon so just imagine what a music video to Helaman 5:12 would be like.... :)

Alex baptism! (i promise he likes us but
making a 10 yr old boy stay still is harder then you'd think..)

Alex Rexius got baptized on Saturday! i am so grateful that we were still able to go and participate in that even though we handed him off to the Zone leaders Ward. The elders did a great job with it. He is the cutest kid. His mom, who isn’t a member, came up to sister Morris and I and told us she thinks he will serve a mission and stay active his whole life! How cool!!!! 

 Later Saturday evening we went to another Baptism for a man that I taught when I was in the YSA ward and when I was in Graham (he had moved while we were teaching him and i got sent to the area he was in!!) His name is Montrae. I am so grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He has struggled with a lot of things but through relying on our savior Montrae was able to enter into the waters of baptism. he has wanted this for almost a year now. I know that sometimes we have to wait for the things we desire but everything is in the Lords timing! 

Montrae's baptism!

 I know this church is true! I don’t know everything but I believe it with all my heart. I can feel it in every fiber of my being when I testify to people. I can feel the book of Mormon is true as well. My heart has peace when I read the pages and pray about the things I read. Sister Morris and I have a goal of handing out 30 copies of the book of the Book of Mormon. I invite each of you to try to share a copy to someone around you. I know it changes lives and helps us to strengthen out testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ! I love you all and hope you have an amazing week!
