Week #99
To be completely honest, I don't know how much more there really is to be said. We're just working and finding many wonderful people.
This week, Maicom and Ana Paula were baptized. They were a referral from Sidney, who was baptized the last week of March. He has since received the Priesthood, bought a white shirt and baptized Maicom and Ana Paula. President and Sister Wright were also there and President Wright welcomed them both to their new family.
This week, Lucas, referral from Magda who was baptized April 19, will also be baptized. Ivoti is catching fire!
We have seen a great difference in Ivoti since we got here. On the first day, our ward mission leader told us not to expect referrals or much help from members. On our first Sunday, the Elders Quorum President spent about five minutes of his lesson telling us how it's okay if you leave an area never having baptized.
I feel a great deal as Ammon must have felt in Chapter 26 of Alma.
"1 My brothers and my brethren, behold I say unto you, how great reason have we to rejoice; for could we have supposed when we started from the land of Zarahemla that God would have granted unto us such great blessings?
5 Behold, the field was ripe, and blessed are ye, for ye did thrust in the sickle, and did reap with your might, yea, all the day long did ye labor; and behold the number of your sheaves! And they shall be gathered into the garners, that they are not wasted."
Today we're going to the temple. In one more week, I'll be going to the airport. Trying very hard not to be trunky.
