Hey ya'll!
Hope your Christmas' were fantastic! Mine was amazing. I was able to spend some time with my Dad and Joe and Bobbie and my niece Megan...it made for one of the most memorable Christmas' ever. There really is something special about family and the holidays. I hope each one of you had a similar joy.
This week my companion and I have two baptisms scheduled for Saturday! We're so stoked! Our investigators, Patty and Steven are amazing. It never ceases to amaze me at how much investigators can gain a strong testimony of the truth. It strengthens my resolve to continue to believe and it strengthens my faith and testimony.
Patty, a girl that requested the missionaries from mormon.org is amazing. She loves learning about the gospel and is so ready and willing to commit to living it. It is so incredible to teach her...most people we have to explain things or give an extensive background to set up for a principle but we can honestly teach her just about anything and she'll believe and love it. It feels kind of weird...like there should be more of a challenge behind it! With more people like this, missionary "job security" could become an issue :)
Everyone would love Steven...but Levi would especially. He loves video games and "anime". And he is quite the reader. He has read nearly half of the Book of Mormon in a month's time. He asked me to baptize him this saturday and I am so excited to see him and another one of Heavenly Father's children enter into such a sacred promise with Him. I can't imagine how he feels. Steven is a stud and it's an honor to be able to help him along his journey here in life. I feel so privileged to have been a part of even just one person's life changing events. What a miracle it is!
