Can a hog see it's behind in 6ft. of muddy water with dark shades on?

Well hello everyone! This week has been a bit crazy! So as a zone we are really really really focusing on baptism and trying to get a lot of baptisms this transfer so there has already been some crazy things happening with baptism this week so it's really been great!

First Terry had his baptismal interview on Saturday which we were so excited about! Then he showed up looking a bit uneasy so we got a bit nervous. It turns out he isn't 100% sure this is what he wants to do. He expressed that he's been at his other church for over 40 years and his friends and family are all there. So he said he wants to keep looking for a sure answer a few more weeks. At first, I was a bit saddened by it because he has told us over and over this is what he wants to do but then I thought it's really important that he's fully converted before he's baptized and this was probably the spirit telling him that he's not fully converted yet. We told him that we understand and told him again he can find a sure witness through reading the Book of Mormon, praying about it, and coming to church and he said he would definitely do that. We also told him that being baptized in this church doesn't mean he can't still go to events and socials or even be around those people in his other church. He understood that and is now looking for a sure answer so please pray for him!

A HUGE miracle that happened this week was we talked with this lady named Jeane we taught one other time and she has gone though a whole lot in her life and said she really needs God more in her life. So we invited her to be baptized on May 11 and she accepted. Then we came over again with some members and had an amazing lesson with her and afterwards invited her to be baptized on April 27th because we felt she could be baptized earlier. Then she said she wants to be baptized on April 13th because that's her birthday and she wants to be baptized before she turns 41! We looked at the calendar and saw that it's definitely possible if she is really committed to be baptized then and so now she's on date for April 13th! We are super excited for her! She really wants to be baptized and said she knows that Satan is going to work harder than ever and she won't let him stop her from being baptized! She is definitely ready! 

That's pretty much all that happened this week! It's been a good one and I hope you all have a great week! Love you! These pics are from the recent zone conference and District Leader training.

Gone Fishin'

Helloooooo! This last week was pretty wet! It rained a ton! And it's supposed to do that this week too! We got soaked on Saturday but fortunately were able to dodge it the other days it rained. We can't go swimming so I guess getting soaked by rain is a good alternative lol!

This week I had another trade off this time with Elder Sherman and we had a great time! He's in his second transfer so he's really working on a lot of things so he can get the hang of missionary work. We biked the whole day in their area because they didn't have a lot of miles left to drive because they only get a certain amount of miles a month for their car. So we biked and got wet from the rain so it was pretty fun! He's a huge guy and loves working out so he gabe me some of his crazy pre-workout stuff and oh man that got me going! There was A TON of caffeine in that stuff! My ears were tingling and I felt like I could run like 20 miles! It was insane! So that helped us a lot in the rain! 

Elder Stevens and Elder Carter were able to have a great lesson with Terry while I was with Elder Sherman! They brought a member that we've have been trying to bring to our lessons with Terry because we thought they would be great friends and it turns out that we weren't wrong! Brother Ross and Terry hit it off great and are pretty tight now! From what I heard the lesson went super well and I guess brother Ross really helped Terry know that he's getting baptized into Christ's church and just another church and so now Terry is getting closer and closer to being baptized! We also had another lesson with him this week on the Law of Chastity so we could get that one out of the way and make sure that he is keeping it and he is and said he will continue too! We are so excited for him!

We also played some basketball with a bunch of people on Saturday and it was so much fun! We were aloud to go because there were a lot of non members but we have some people we are teaching that want to go too! They usually play every week so I'm super excited for that! We are also going fishing in Saint Augustine today because a member wants to take us so I'm so excited for that! 

Love you all! Have a great week!

We are on our way to fish!
