Mikes Baptism

This was another great week here in Kanab. Mike got baptized!!!! It was an
amazing and spiritual baptism. He has such a great ward/congregation that just
loves him to death!  It a was great day.  I have never seen anyone so happy...he
just couldn't stop smiling! 

One of the people we are teaching, Sarah, came to
Mike's baptism and now she is getting baptized this Saturday!

 It’s amazing how the spirit works.

On Sunday Mike was confirmed a member of the church, received the gift of the
Holy Ghost, and then he received the priesthood and he will be and passing the sacrament next week!  A wonderful new member of the church!

We also had a zone conference this week in St George. It was an all
day meeting and it was fun to see other missionaries that I normally
don’t get the chance to see.  It was a really uplifting meeting!

 
Transfers are next week... our mission is only losing 1 missionary
but we are gaining 20 missionaries!  So President said he will be
opening a bunch of new areas. It will be an exciting time to further
hasten the work!

We started teaching this older man who grew up in Colorado City (the
polygamist town) so that has been interesting!  He believes in a lot of
same things that we do.  And he loves to read the Book of Mormon so we
will see how that goes!

The other day we stopped by and visited our investigator, Reed. He is
a really spiritual man and he loves to write. Something he said to us was
“I don’t let the past remind me of who I am not now" and I thought that
was so true because he has really been through a lot in his life, but
through Christ and this gospel he has literally felt that change of
heart. And that is what this gospel can do... help us find joy and
peace now.  This gospel is true and I love my job!
