6/11

This week was really crazy and different but was good and ended in two great baptisms.  Out of all the weeks I have been on my mission this one had the least amount of proselyting.  On Tuesday we had Zone conference, Wednesday a service project and a baptismal interview that they never showed up to, Thursday two baptismal interviews that they showed up late to.  Friday another failed baptismal interview and we were running around trying to find them, Saturday we had the baptism.   

     It has actually been nice to do some different things this week rather than the usual proselyting every day and it was great to have the baptism on Saturday.  The man that we baptized has been an investigator for about 8 months and couldn't be baptized because he wasn't married.  We finally got them married a few weeks ago and they were coming to church so they were able to be baptized.  It was a great experience. After months of being taught I think I have seen a change in him and he seems like a happier nicer guy. 

     Also this week we had a broadcast from Salt Lake city.  Elder Bednar and a few others spoke.  One of the talks was really focused on obeying even if we don't know or understand the reason.  It was a great broadcast and missionaries from other areas stayed at our apartment because of how far they had to drive.  

     All in all this was a really fun successful week.
