Bill Made It!

Most of you probably don't remember that name... Bill McDaniel was the very first baptism I had, my first week in the field. I didn't get to teach Bill before his baptism, but I taught him all the new member discussions with Elder Siedschlag and Elder Dantas. Anyway, Bill got to go to the temple this week to receive his Endowments, and invited Elder Siedschlag and I to come with him! It was such a joyful day. The change in Bill is just so obvious, it's so great to see how the gospel of Jesus Christ means everything to him. We took a picture at the temple, so check it out below!

This week, we got to go down to Kaysville and have a MLC with the Salt Lake City mission. It was considered the Layton mission MLC, since that's what Mission we will be in just over 2 weeks. So, we had every zone from the Ogden Mission that will be in Layton, and same with Salt Lake. It consisted of 2 of their zones, and 4 of ours. It was so awesome to meet all the leadership of whom we will be serving with very soon. I'm excited to learn from them and with them!

We had a few lessons this week with Chelsey. She's progressing for her baptism this Saturday, we are so excited for her. She's already changed so much, we just need to teach her a few more lessons and she will be ready to go!

We also taught Yosena, but she's very nervous for this Saturday. She also said that she will be visiting her sister in California for the next 3 weeks. This was news to us, we told her that we could get her baptized before she leaves, but she was not too sure about it. We told her that she is ready, and she somewhat believed it, but she has a lot of doubt. We told her to keep praying, so we will see what happens.

We found a ton of new potentials this week! This one kid we met, named Truman, is 9 years old and really wants to be baptized. We were talking to him and his brother, and his brother was just baptized a year ago, and so we told him that he could be baptized just like his brother and he was all for it. We talked to his parents and his mom seems super supportive about it, and we set up a return appointment to come back and teach him!

We also had Zone training this week. So us Zone leaders gave a training to the whole Zone. It was my first Zone training, and I think it went pretty well. I have had a lot of experience giving District trainings, so it was just a little bit different because it was to four districts and not just one. I know I got a lot out of it, so hopefully the Zone did too!

That's all I got this week. Love you all, have a good week!
