BIG NEWS (Week 80 In The Field)

Well, I found out which one of the Twelve Apostles is coming to visit us on May 16th. But First I would like a drum roll please........The Apostle who will be coming to visit and talk to our whole mission, and who I will be singing in front of with a few other missionaries is......Elder Jeffery....R....Holland!!! :D  I can't believe I will get to see him live and sing in front of him! I am so excited! We found out Friday who was coming, and I got the music sheet so I can practice singing beforehand. I will be singing a unique version of Joseph Smith's first Prayer. Thank goodness there is a member here that has agreed to help me practice, and play the piano for me, because I have no idea how to read music or play the piano haha. Well that was my super exciting news! 

This past week started off terrible because I was sick, but as the week went on, I got progressively better! Thank goodness, because it sucks to be sick as a missionary. You have nothing to entertain you for a full day while you're lying in bed sick. But I'm glad I started feeling better by Thursday. 

Not sure if I told you all this, but we had to postpone Ethan's baptism to May 1st. He came to church on Sunday and he's doing everything right to prepare to enter the waters of baptism. We are excited for him, and hope it goes through. Please pray for him. 

We got a new investigator yesterday! He's a friend of one of the members in our ward. We taught him right after church the plan of salvation. His name is Scott Kinderson. He is a super nice guy and we committed him to baptism on May 15th that same lesson. It was an amazing lesson, the spirit was very strong there, and he really wants to get baptized soon. He is 18 years old, and will be going into the military in August. So he really wants a gospel foundation before he goes. We have another lesson with him on Tuesday, so please keep him in your prayers as well. 

No updates with our other investigators, but we are still working with them. 

Well I have to get going but I love and miss you all and hope you all have a fantastic week! :)
