Dear
all,
This past week was really good! We had some people in Sutherland (around 30 minutes from North Platte) that are amazing! We went and taught them on Monday last week, and my companion taught them yesterday. I would have taught yesterday, but I ended up getting a migraine (which I'm still recovering a bit from, but feel a lot better then yesterday) and just went on exchanges with members and I stayed at the Merrels house while he went. But anyways, they have been coming to church for the past month or two before we even met them, which is amazing! The family's name is the Jenkins. The parents are both members and they have three kids that are ready to be baptized, the only thing is when we first went over there their Branch President came and for some reason he didn't want to set a day yet. So we are planning on working with him to get them ready for Baptism.
That was a great way to start out the week! Three new investigators who are already progressing! But by the end of the week we ended up with seven new investigators for the week! That's super good for the standard here! The standard for new investigators is three new a week! So needless to say (even though I've already said it) it was a great week!
Second ward had a baptism Saturday night and Micheal got to come! Sarge gave him a ride to it and to our surprise picked up someone else we had seen before. It was really funny. You see, Micheal lives in a place called Liberty House, and it's pretty much a Mental Home/Homeless Shelter. So at the baptism we see Micheal get out of the call, then all of the sudden, another person from the home named Daniel comes out! Now I've spoken to Daniel before and he is a little crazy. He walks around everywhere with these big headphones on, but no music playing, and he always talks about this picture he has of his "father" and how the people killed him on the cross and how his "father" used to take him and his siblings to catholic school. I've seen this picture and it's a picture of Jesus on the cross. After he tells people about how it's the last thing he remembers from his "father" he talks about how he wants to sell it for a couple thousand dollars. So when he popped out of the car I was a little nervous, but everything went good.
Michael had a great time at the baptism and got to see it for himself. He's set for October 29th, on his birthday, still. Hopefully we can prepare him for fully for that day. Daniel did alright at the baptism. During the actual baptism part he needed some comforting from me. For some reason he was afraid he was going to die because he felt really cold, but I just assured him he would be alright. I was just so happy I was able to calm him down with the help of the Lord. I don't think I've ever prayed so hard at a baptism before. Haha
Well everyone, I hope you all are doing great! The work is finally starting to pick up, and I know it will continue to as long as we keep working hard! I know the church is the true church, the very same that Jesus brought to the Earth. I know that Thomas S. Monson is the Prophet today, and I can't wait to hear from him in two weeks! I love you all! Keep up the good work!
With tender love and care,
