Tucson--#22

Hey Everyone!

We had a phenomenal week! Niiki, Thomas, Jenica, and Serah got baptized!
Elay was able to attend which was great becuase I know that he felt the
Spirit. The spirit was so strong at the baptism. It has been the most
spiritual baptism that I have ever attended! President and Sister Killpack
even attended which was not good for my nerves haha. I was the last one in
the font so I had to drain the font. I couldnt twist the plug with my foot
so I had to "baptize" myself in order to pull the plug. Yep I was drenched
from head to toe. As a mission, we have been challenged to utilize the 5-10
minute intermission after the baptismal ordinance. We asked the Sister
missionaries give a 5 minute lesson on the Restoration and then we had a 13
year old recent convert bear her testimony. From what I heard it was very
very good. We found three new investigators this last week! We went over to
teach Brooklyn and the 14 year old daughter, Bella was there along with her
cousin. We were teaching the Restoration and invited them to join us for
the lesson. Their desire was very minimal at the beginning but we were able
to answer their questions and able to relate concepts with analogies to
help them understand and they accepted to read, ponder and pray about The
Book of Mormon. The third new investigator is actually a funny story haha.
Multiple times a week we go and share a lesson with the Tucker's who are
recent converts. The daughter invited over a non member friend who had been
present for previous lessons but never wanted us to start teaching her. The
friend said, "I will read out of your mormon book if you do the cinnamon
challenge..." Elder Wynn agreed but we added on to the conditions and
invited her to allow us to teach her one lesson. She agreed and the deed
was done. We should be meeting with her later this week. This Wednesday we
are going to mutual for a "missionary night" and teaching the youth how to
perform a street contact and sharing one of the missionary lessons. We are
completely looking forward to this opportunity! This is the last week of
transfers so I will find out next Sunday whether or not I am getting
transferred. Thanks for the support! All is well in Zion!

Love,
