A complete 180°

So those 2 baptisms set for Saturday didn't happen. 

Brytons dad said we were going too fast and that he's only 16 and needs to take time to make these decisions. He then talks led about he let's his son do anything he wants, even wrestle with a blown out knee. But apparently baptism isn't classified in "anything". Overall he said back off for a while. So we are.

Madi is still almost there but the adversary is working overtime on stopping her. Her co-coach's dad went to the ER on Thursday so Madi had to coach the little kids softball tournament Friday and Saturday so we set her date for today at 9am. Then she backed out because she had to babysit her sisters all week this week. She still wants to be baptized and is going for sometime next week. 

Please pray for her to be able to follow christ and be baptized! This is important to her, she just needs a little more help.

Those were the two HUGE blows we had this last week. Still recovering but doing okay. On a different note. I finally went out of my area on exchanges! It was really fun to be with another missionary and try to help him in his area! 

I don't have a ton of time before we get going so that's all I'll write this week!

Afton for 2!

Image
Hey everyone, sorry for no email last week, I was waiting to send one after I got transfer news! I'm staying in Afton for another transfer and getting a new companion! His name is Elder Garcia and he's from Arkansas! He's super funny and we get along really well! This area is just a roller-coaster! We used to have 4-5 potentials for this month and now we have like 2. It has been sad to see the situations that make the people we are teaching wait to get baptized. We are doing our best and being diligent while on the Lord's errand and we hope to see miracles! This area is amazing and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for it!

Unexpected surprises...

So, this last week has been amazing. Elder Jones and I have gone around visiting a ton of members so that we can get to know their neighbors. We have already seen success from this and are going to continue to do it. A miracle we saw this last Tuesday was a call from the Seminary teacher in the stake. He called and told us about this girl who wants to be baptized and wanted to meet that next day! So we met with her and 2 of her friends on Wednesday and she is ELECT! Many things in her life have lead her to this moment and now her friends are helping her make that choice to follow the Savior.  After that lesson at noon, we set the next one for 7:30 the next day just before transfers! We taught her the plan that God has for us and invited her to be baptized. She agreed and set a goal for June 3rd! It is amazing what the lord has in store for each and every person on the earth. The amount of love he shows us through the scriptures and just in the world around us is beautiful.  Th...

The Elect

Hey everyone! Sorry for missing an email this last week, I realized I needed to write one at 10pm and just decided to wait till today. We had transfers this last week and I get to stay in the Kimberly 1 area and I swapped out Elder Johnson for Elder Villezcas (VE-yez-kas)! He loves anything to do with Sonic the Hedgehog and loves to talk. This is going to be a fun transfer! Last week went slow like the end of a transfer usually does but now we have to get that momentum again. There weren't a ton of miracles either but they are definitely coming back.  Something that I saw happen last week was when Elder Johnson and I were teaching this really old guy named Tom Smith. He's a PMF and had been meeting with missionaries for a LONG time and we had finally dug through his concerns to whether or not he believes Joseph Smith is a prophet or not. We had challenged him the week before to make up his mind on that subject but he had forgotten that part of the challenge when we came back. A...
