Week #17 in Seffner


Hola Family and Friends
 
This week was pretty great we had our first two baptisms with heidi and Legion it was a great service we got alot of the ward involved and it was combined with another baptism that the elders had been teaching so three confirmations in sacrament yesterday and to top off a great meeting we got a new bishopric. Bishop Watson had moved from the ward, so we had the stake presidency there and president clayson actually confirmed heidi and Legion. We had trouble finding a baptism suit for hiedi and president clayson saved the day and found one at the stake center friday. it was a good experence.
 
Pretty much just been knocking trying to find more people to teach. have you all sent your friends in as refferals on lds.org yet. And have you looked at the work of salvation webpage on lds.org. Are you posting your church activities to your facebook, twitter or other social media. Please do.
 
You are all amazing hope you have a great week, next week I can tell you who my second companion will be but i wont have met her yet. Yea.....for transfers.....I just love change. ..... Sister piepgrass is great but she thinks so wants to go back to canada or something.
 
We had zone conference this week and we learned to focus on our circle of influence instead of circle of concern. there are alot of things that we cant control it is not worth stressing over them.
 
Love you all, Send pictures :)

Week #16 in Seffner


Hello friends and family from another lifetime.
 
The mission is going by so quickly, I hit my 4 month on saturday, can't believe how fast time has flown. I am still in the same area that I started at and my companion that seemed that she still had forever on her mission, it down to going home in two weeks.
 
Our week has been good, we had an investagator introduce us to a friend so now we are teaching them both. They are both young woman one is 15 and the other is 16. Working with the youth is great because we got to play volleyball wednesday night. However, it is a challenge since they would rather go to the mall then to learn more about the gospel, we have found that drop in visits work best.
 
We have a baptism this coming saturday, it is our first. They are both great, it is a single mom and her son. We found her when she come to church and then kept coming and let us come teach her. They had their baptism interview yesterday so we are at a green light fast approaching.  It was great to announce in primary and see the excitment in the childern.
 
I had my first interview with the mission president, he told me that I need a new companion. How Rude? I just figured out how to understand the one that I have (most of the time) and he is going to let her go home to canada.  He also asked if I could drive which i found funny since i am the only driver with a dying missionary not able to drive her last month. We have two weeks left to work to find find find, any of you have refferals for me here in the westside of the seffner ward?
 
Love you all,
Have a wonderful week.
Hope to hear from you soon.
