This week... ha... this week we worked so hard!! I can't even put it into words how much effort we put in to get the results we did. I know I shouldn't take any pride knowing that God did everything but I wanted to tell of the success we are having now in this area. We were able to put dates for baptism on 12 souls! This is really good because the mission goal was 9 and usually we get 5-6 and now we doubled our numbers! And this is not all of the blessings we had, we also got 10 investigators in the church and 8 of them have a baptism date, when the goal is 6 in the church and 4 with a date. We only use these goals to see the effectiveness of our work, they aren't numbers that we just send to the church, they are people that we are accepting help to complete God's great and eternal purposes. No baptism this week but without a doubt they will come, and maybe this week. Coincidentally (which word doesn't exist), I've been appling the scripture in Alma 38:12 which has some good invitations in becomeing a better missionary and person, as well as Amla 18:35. I know that applying these scriptures helped this work a lot this week.
We also had district meeting this week in which we learned a little more about the power of our calling and the responsibilities that they have to fulfill, so the things I learned there helped me a lot aswell. And as our area of our district are far apart we always have sleepovers the night before to have the meeting in the morning, and as tradition proves strong we buy pizza. And with the 2 pizzas that we bought, we also made pancakes to eat with the rest of my maple syrup, condensed milk, and chocolate fudge leftopver from my birthday. Needless to say I was very happy and full that night. 😋🍕
In terms of things that happened this week, this was all, its fairly normal, I'm 11 months in now, things are good.
Love you!
