This week will mark my 7 months as a missionary for Christ's restored Church! I really can't believe how time is flying. Well this week we will also have 4 baptisms in our area. M____and her two daughters passed their interviews last Sunday they were really excited and nervous! I am so glad that I was able to meet them and share the restored gospel with them. N_____ passed her interview as well. I really hope that she will get the desires of her heart answered and that soon we will be able to teach the rest of the family. Last week my companion and I found her family's teaching record in the area book. It seems like they had been taught about 5 years ago and the missionaries commented that out of all of them N_____ had the most potential. She loves the BoM and everything that we have taught her so far. I really am glad for all the people that we are teaching. If things keep going at the rate they are now we will have a great January as well.

Well not much has really been going on. My companion and I are constantly working and trying to help as much people as possible come unto Christ. One of the biggest problems we have right now is that most if not all of our investigators do not have cars or any means of transportation. So we have to find them rides from members that live in the area. Sundays are always so stressful and they seem like the longest days of the week as well. I usually can sit down and not feel stressed out during the 9am English service because we dont have any English investigators but as soon as 12pm comes around I start feeling anxious just thinking about all the things we will have to arrange for the 1pm service. We had around 8 investigators at church not counting their children and that number goes up to 15 if we do. So it really is a large number of people that we have to work with and find transportation for on Sundays. But well I am glad that we have the support of members to help us.

I hope that everyone has a good week and that things are well for everyone.

I love you all!
