3 Amigos!

Wylie, Anastasia, and James, were all baptized and confirmed this week! The sisters and James are all in the same ward, so it was neat to see them all get baptized and confirmed, basically together! It was neat to see how much family was supporting them, even more than the last few weeks! This week was super busy, with lessons and everything else, but here's the run down!

Monday, we did the normal thing. Worked out in the morning, then played some basketball and speedball, then went bowling! 

Tuesday was pretty boring for the most part, but we did have a lesson with the Fowers! We just went over the baptismal interview questions with them, since we taught them everything! Other than that, we just did some finding all day. 

Wednesday, we had zone conference! It was truly awesome. The zone leaders trained on something called ALA, which is when you ask an investigator an inspired question, listen, and apply scripture to them. It's a great tool to solidify them for baptism, and keeping commitments! President Jaggi trained on the language of prayer, which was given in a talk by Elder Oaks in general conference like 20 years ago. Explaining how we can have more sincere prayers, when we truly respect and love our Father in heaven, acknowledging that he is our creator. To do this, we do not rush our prayers, and we use the appropriate language such as Thou, Thee, and Thine. Terms we don't use in normal day life, because it's sacred. Overall great conference!

Thursday, we had service at salvation army for like 3 hours, and had to sort through clothes that were donated. Later, we got Wylie and Anastasia interviewed for their baptism! That night we visited a referral that we got, for a Debra Ward. She is a non member who's married to a less active member, that hasn't been in 45 years. He wants to get back to church, and they want to get sealed in the temple, so we put her on date to be baptized on the 24th of February!

Friday wasn't too busy. Can't remember all that we did, other than we did teach Amy again, and put her on date for the 17th! She's still kinda fearful about it, but we are working with her. That night we played basketball with like 30 foreign exchange students, that are all looking to investigate the church, so we will see what happens there! :) 

Saturday was the girls, and James, Baptism! You can see the pictures below :) 

Sunday was just a regular day. Great day to renew baptismal covenants! That's all I have this week. I love you all, thank you for the support always!
