This week we had some awesome things happen. On Saturday we were knocking doors, and we just kept on going. It was raining, and we were not seeing any success. We had a district training about going one more, and we just were not going to stop until we had to. We harvested for twice as long as we planned in the rain, and nothing came from it, and I kept asking myself what more do we need to do. Then we had a dinner appointment with a member that night with a girl we have been trying to teach, but nothing has come of it. Well they picked us up late, so we got there, ate, and left, but the son and his girlfriend (the one we are trying to teach). In the car ride they were talking about something, and it came up that she had received her answer to be baptized, so she is going to be baptized this coming Sunday now. We are so excited for her, and I had a strong feeling that it happened that night because we had gone the extra mile. It was an awesome experience. We also were able to have the members come out with a us a decent amount this week, and we saw a lot of success from that. Our recent convert baptized his sons this Sunday as well, which was super exciting. We were able to see a lot of blessing from the Lord this week. Elder D and I are getting along great and doing awesome work. I know that we were placed here together to do some great things, and I know that the Lord has prepared people and He is blessing us to be able to meet them. I know that we are his children, and that He loves each and everyone of us. I love him, and am grateful for my opportunity to serve him with all my heart might mind and strength. I love you all, and thank you for all you do
