Shannette was baptized!

Shannette was baptized and confirmed! It was perfect. She was nervous for her baptism and confirmation, but she did so good. It was so exciting to see her be baptized and get the gift of the Holy Ghost. A sister did a talk, then Lissett shared a very powerful testimony. we had the baptism and she had to be dunked 3 times. She is on the path. Now we got to get her to the temple. It is the best to watch others become what God wants them to be.

We have a new goal to contact TEN people a day. I am afraid of rejection so it has been a bit of a challenge. I am improving though. One day we got 17 contacts. I am opening my mouth more and more and I am seeing miracles because of it. God is blessing me with people who are ready to change. I love the people here... They are so weird, but a lot of them are ready to change.

We got a call this week from a companionship telling us there was a bunch of kids playing football in our church parking lot. We went down and played a nice game of football (made me think of our times playing football in the park, dad). We then got to share a message about the Book of Mormon. Although not much has come out of that interaction with them, something will. 

We have a new goal as a zone to carry a Book of Mormon with us wherever we go. I have been doing pretty well. I have given a few away and each time I do, the person seems to treasure it. The divinity of the book is real. People feel it. The Book of Mormon is a great book... I love it.

Miracles are abundant over here. I feel the Lord protecting me. I feel your prayers and you love. I am praying that each of you will continue to do what is right. We know what it is. We have what we need. Lets just do it. 

This next week is going to be great and I will make sure to keep notes on what to tell you guys.

I love you, family
