| Part of my 1st Zone at Zone Conference |
This has been another great week, I think that this week has been probably the fastest week that I have had on the mission, it seems like I just had p-day.
We now have 2 people on date right now and I think that we can get 2 more on date before too long. One of the ladies that is on date is in her late 50's to early 60's and she told us to come and teach her more about baptism and so the morning of I read all that I could on it just to be all prepared up. When we got there she asked us a question about her catholic baptism and was wondering if it would be canceled out since she was wanting to be baptized in the Mormon church. And so we told her about the restoration again and how the priesthood was restored as well as the authority to baptize. She then asked so my baptism didn't count? And I just straight up told her I guess you could say that, but it was cool because Elder Shah told her even though it didn't count it still showed your commitment to the Lord and your willingness to follow him. I really thought that was a good point. After that she said when are transfers? So we told her that it was around May 11 and she then said when do you usually do baptisms, and we told her usually on Saturdays and so she put herself on date for May 9th and she said that she wanted me to baptize her, I was so shocked I have never had someone put themselves on date before and neither has my companion who has been out for 21 months. All that she has to do is come to church and quit her coffee and she will be good. This was definitely the highlight of my week. The other one that is on date is Keely Broadhead, who is the most solid investigator that I have ever heard of or seen. We had one of the members in the ward make a special certificate for her and we all signed it. Shah, Dolinar, and me, she said that this certificate looks better then her college ones. I will have to get a picture with them, and have Keely hold it then I will send it to you all, it is pretty funny.
