The Vision to Baptize!

 Hello everyone! This week has been filled with some fun stuff so let's get right to the chase...

We had some time and a couple of lessons. We taught one of the sister's friends, Daniel, and then went to a lesson with another friend. We had dinner with him at a Burger place and it was delicious. We ask that you guys pray for him and his life. He has some important decisions to make! 

As the title of the email states, we were invited the week before during our District council meeting to focus on baptism. We were invited to mention baptism or covenants in every single lesson that we taught in order to help them follow and understand the commitment. We saw two particular miracles from this. Due to this invitation we invited two of our friends to be baptized and put them on date. Their names are Leslie and Alexandru. They are in two completely different situations but the way we taught them just made it feel right. Keep them in your prayers too as they work towards this! 

I would like to take a bit of time in this email also to mention the power of revelation for yourself and revelation that others can give you! It really is powerful to see how much we can learn from the promptings of the spirit. One prompting was definitely the change made in our standards that mentions bringing a member to every lesson. It has been such a blessing to have this opportunity! 

This week we also had the opportunity to participate in Zone Konference! We heard some really good messages about the Book of Mormon and using it in our conversations and conversions! The focus was on giving invitations and working more closely with your wards. We even played Book of Mormon jeopardy and our team won!! A quick mention goes to the Social Media fast that we are holding this week as we are very excited to have a strong focus this week on sharing the Gospel on a more personal level!

The rest of the week was pretty slow as we had a lot of planning to get done and sadly my back was hurting quite a lot! We hope that we come back to full strength here this week so we can get even more done. There is even more delicious food to be made and eaten! Even better will be the people that we can talk to and the places we can see! Food is still up there though...

Thank you everyone for the support and prayers! I will post some pictures from our P-day today and then some of us throughout the week. I look forward to writing next week! 

Love,
