Early Dunks

So this week we had 2 baptisms. Super awesome. They were supposed to be this Saturday, but we will not be here, so we bumped them up to yesterday. They were both excited and ready for it. One person we had been teaching for a while, the other we found like 3 weeks ago. They were both super pumped and ready for their baptisms. It was so awesome. We had a lot of fun teaching them, and are excited to see them keep growing in the gospel. This week we had the assistants down with us for Monday night and Tuesday till the evening. It was awesome. We got a lot of the trainings that we had been missing out on because of the fact of us being down here with no one else. We really learned a lot. We met a lot of people. Never have had so much sucess knocking doors before. We are really excited about what is going on down here. The area is really growing. I love it down here so much. Transfers are next week, I'm getting nervous. We find out if we are leaving this Thursday. We also have a zone conference on Saturday, so if anyone is getting transferred then we will go up, come back down, then go back up. Could be pretty crazy. If it is that crazy you might not hear from me for a couple weeks. Hopefully I'm staying down for one more, because I love it down here and it is really growing. We have had a lot of fun down here. I am definately going to have to take many many pictures this week. Such a good week though with the assistants, we had a lot of fun. We are super excited to go up to Miami this weekend too and see the missionaries. This will probably be a crazy transfer because we will have a new assistant, first time since I've been in the mission, so I'm not sure whats going to happen, but I do know that they have been working on this transfer for a long time. well I have to go now. i love you all and am so grateful for everything you all do for me. I know this church is true and that it is Gods kingdom once again established on the earth. I know that President Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of God on the earth today, and that Jesus Christ leads his church through the prophet. I love you all so much

Why Wes is serving a Mission

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19).

Carlos E. Asay, a Church leader, said, “(There is) a marvelous phenomenon which occurs among men when the light of the gospel illuminates their lives. Almost instinctively, it seems, the light of truth sparks a desire to share. When our minds are expanded by new knowledge, we want others to know; when our spirits are elevated by heavenly influence, we want others to feel; and when our lives are filled with goodness, we want others, particularly those whom we love, to enjoy similar experiences.”You may have seen missionaries riding on bicycles or walking door to door, sharing their message. They are doing everything they can to seek out people who may be interested in learning more about Jesus Christ and God’s plan for their happiness. They serve in pairs, for “in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established” (Matthew 18:16). Missionaries volunteer full-time service for a period of eighteen months to two years.
