Under The Weather

  Another week in the books! The time out here is just flying by. This we was a but of a rough one health wise but hey, it happens once and a while. We took a couple days of rest and where back in the saddle. Let's get into the week!

    We were a trio on Monday night and Tuesday with one of the Elders in our Zone. He was having a bit of a tough time enjoying the work and we told him to come work with us. It was a wonderful time. We taught and laughed and worked as missionaries doooo. It was a great to see his attitude change towards the work in just a couple days. 

   Wednesday we had exchanges, which also were awesome! We worked on focusing on a small neighbourhood in our area and just finding everyone in that area. It worked very well. With the Lords help, we were able to find 17 people in one day! Of course we know that not every one of those will progress, but it was awesome to see the what could happen if we talked to everyone!

   Thursday we really felt the stuffy nose and cough kicking in. We weren't able to Thursday night or Friday. We were able to get out on Saturday though. Over all a rough couple days. 

   Sunday we had Branch Conference. An area of the seventy came and gave a couple of great messages! We had a few friends come to church which was awesome to see!!

    Scripture of the Week

Joshua 24:15

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

   I read this while I was studying PMG last night and it got me thinking. It got me thinkng about what it really means to choose to serve the Lord. I realise now more that ever that it is a daily decision to  choose the Lord. We need to commit and most times re-commit ourselves to the cause of truth. Love this scripture.

     I'll put the pictures in another email!

Peace

Elder Baker

    Hey ya'll! Honestly, this week was a hard week. But, hindsight is a wonderful thing. I have a couple things that I don't think I would have realized or attributed to God were it not for the struggle! Lets get into the week!     So we started off the week with two exchanges! Which means we as leaders have another companionship come to our area and we show them how we are having success and also to learn from them!! I learned a ton from both of them. They are both great Elders. We were able to teach sister Mardel and find a lot of new friends!!     The rest of the week was super interesting. We tried to do what we usually do and just go to all of our friends in one day, but literally no one was available. We felt like we were getting very little work done. On Saturday we were traveling around the Zone doing baptismal interview's! Which is ( in hindsight ) a blessing. At the time we were worried about not be able to work in our area. But. We are so bl...
