This week has been one of the greatest weeks. To start off I finally got a new companion so I am no longer three leggin it with some other missionaries. My new companion is Elder Kretschmann, he is from Germany. Something that's pretty cool about him is that he is the 3rd or 4th oldest I can't remember but he has 9 siblings! And whats even crazier is that each one of them knows a different instrument. Its pretty funny thinking about it, the only thing that they are missing is a drummer but other then that they have it all haha.
We have been meeting with Shannon a lot lately. We had one more commandment to teach Kyra and then they were both going to be good for Baptism. We prayed in our companion study for a date that we could maybe present to her and we came up with the date of March 24. Her original date was May 24. We went over to her house on Friday for dinner and so that she could meet the new elder. After dinner we had a lesson teaching them the last commandment. After teaching them we told them that was all of the lessons that we teach before baptism. We basically told them that we prayed about it and said that we felt that they could be more then ready for March 24 for baptism. Shannon to our surprise said sure that works for me, I just don't know if Kyra will be ready. Shannon really wants Kyra to know what she is promising before she jumps into anything. We told her that we will meet 2-3 times a week if we have to and we will review with Kyra the lessons. Shannon said okay sure that will be great we will shoot for that! So for the next couple of weeks we are going to review the lessons with Kyra. Shannon also has to stop her coffee and stop smoking her electric cigarette, but I believe that they will be ready for the 24th. We've also gotten a ton of referrals from members so that is going to be fun contacting them all.
This week we also had stake conference which was pretty sweet. There was a member from the area 70 that was there as well as President and Sister Miles. The conference was great, definitely one of the best ones that I have been to. Shannon and Kyra came and had the opportunity of meeting both President and Sister Miles as well as the area 70.
Well I hope that you are all doing well I sure do love you guys! Keep workin hard!
Love, Elder Allred
