Week 52

May 23, 2016

John's baptism went super well. He was grateful for the opportunity to become a "brand new boy" as he expressed in a prayer. We had a great show from our African brothers. Maybe it was because he was wearing a plaid shirt tucked into his jeans, but Samuel just reminded me of a straight up elders’ quorum president. He's just got to get baptized first! I can already see the change the Holy Ghost has made in John's life. Love it! We should do baptisms more often!

This ward is rolling, the blessings will be coming in soon. We taught Giuseppe and Valerio Wednesday morning. Or rather, we had them teach us… the law of chastity. Giuseppe is a new convert of about six months and Valerio was reactivated about a year ago or so. Valerio is finishing his mission papers and Giuseppe also wants to go. I love these GANS (YSA) we have, it's so true the influence righteous youth can have on other youth. These guys, about three new converts and a couple who got reactivated within the past couple years, basically all just decided to go on missions together. Ivan was the most recent to make the decision.  He told me the other night. As of literally a month ago he was someone who only came to church when his family did and didn't seem to care less. But there's a reason why one of our assistants called our GANS "the most powerful converting machine in the mission".

The people who live above us like to play OneRepublic a lot which kind of annoys me, but it sure was great to finally drive home from a member’s house Sunday afternoon as we all belted along to "Army of Helaman/Sisters in Zion medley". When your music playlist consists of about 25 MoTab songs your companion has on his MP3 player, it can be pretty exciting to have some variety.

Love,

I'm sorry, for some reason I was the only one who didn't get a good picture.
