Howdy!
This week was fantastic, of
course. It is super dang cold outside but it's a good thing that we have the
Spirit of the Lord burning within us!!!! (Although it doesn't prevent
frostbite). The humidity makes it so pretty much no matter how many
coats/shirts/pants/socks etc. you have on, you basically have nothing on!
Likely all the problem is just that I am really soft though..
Sick stuff happened this week!!
To start it off, on Tuesday we went down to the DC temple to do baptisms for
the dead with our recent converts, the Jeghedes!!! It was such an amazing
experience! I can't even begin to tell you how strong the Spirit was there.
They did temple work for some ancestors on Sister Jeghede's side and while we
were there Brother Jeghede got so pumped up to come back and do the temple work
for his ancestors too! It was such a cool experience! Also there was a temple
worker there that I met at the beginning of my mission who at the time was very
recently baptized. It's amazing how prepared so many people are for the gospel
and how well they are progressing so shortly after they are baptized! The
Jeghede's daughters are already talking about where they want to go on their
missions to. The Lord's work is hastening!!
On Wednesday we had transferred
and Elder Carlson got transferred up to Pennsylvania but Elder Howard came in
to replace him and he is a stud! He is from Denver, CO and has been out about
20 months. It's gonna be a good transfer!
For 2017 I made a goal that I
would find 2 new investigators to reach the standard of excellence every week
and on Sunday night at dinner time we still hadn't found any yet for last
week... There goes that goal haha.... NOT!! We had a lot of stuff that we had
to take care of this week so we didn't have a ton of time to work but Heavenly
Father always comes in clutch when we need him to. After dinner last night we
went out and found 2 new investigators without any fret. Such a miracle! First
we picked up Norman and we taught him outside his house which was super cold
but it was well worth it! Then we picked up Brandon and he is super cool! He
was a referral from a member in the Jones Falls ward. And we have a bunch of
investigators that are still plugging along, getting closer and closer to
baptism!
Have a good week!!
