Hey there everyone!
I love missionary work! This has been a really awesome week. I met my new companion, Elder Baniqued. I have the wonderful opportunity of training him but honestly I feel like I am the one being trained because I have already learned so much from him! He is actually 26 years old and, like me, was baptized only a year before his mission! He had the desire to come out just as soon as possible to serve the Lord and help others to feel the same blessings that have come to his life. Sounds like someone else, no? The first day we were in the house he told me to help him out with his English because he really wants to learn. We have already had some great work in just a few days that we have been together. We have been really focusing on getting new investigators and giving out more baptismal dates so more people can come unto Christ and the Lord has really blessed us this week! We didn't have a huge number of new investigators but we really saw our baptismal dates grow. With the number of baptismal dates growing we also saw our number of progressing investigators grow with it. It is just a testimony to me that what is says in Preach my Gospel about inviting to baptism early and often is really powerful. Not only do more people come unto Christ, but you are really able to find those that are ready to receive the gospel. We are really excited for these next few months that are coming up. We are really going out and finding the elect and we know that many baptisms and return members will follow. I really love serving and especially the chance I have now to serve as district leader and as a trainer. I have already learned so much and I know there is just so much more that I have to learn. I love you all and can't wait to hear from you again! Until next week!
