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.
