March 12, 2018 Brandon Was Baptized

What an amazing week! Brandon was baptised and it was a wonderful experience! I had the sacred opportunity and privilege to baptise him which was special. He is doing really well. Many investigators were able to come to the baptism: our friend Jack, lots of Brandons family and some from other wards in the zone with missionaries. 

Jack is doing super well. He was able to talk to his family and they said they are okay with everything and so he has now fully committed to be baptised on April 7th!! We were able to see our friend Michael and give him a baptismal goal of the 7th of April and he really enjoyed our lesson on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, especially about repentance which was really good. Angelina continues to progress and is bringing her aunt to church next week. We also were able to find some really good people this week! We are honestly so blessed. 

We had MLC on Thursday and I think it was my favourite meeting from my mission. I learned so much from it and was able to take a lot from it. I also really love and feel how every meeting is a time to recommit myself to improve and to learn and grow. We talked a lot about how we need to increase our faith to find people, to invite at all times and how to become more powerful and persuasive teachers. After we went up to Chorley and got to do baptisms and confirmations with our recent convert Deborah! We also got to see some of my Chorley friends :). 

I hope you all know that this Gospel works. It changes people. As a zone we started doing this study to really prepare for Easter and I invite you all to have a look at it and to do your best to do it!
