Baptisum!


Mom and Dad
 
Dad, (you can keep this to yourself)
 
In responce to your friend all I can say is to keep trying. When i was reading your email all i was reminded of was the story President Monson gave about a missionary some yeas ago in California. He had an opertunity to meet with him in an interview as a young missionary where he found out that his perents had no suport for him on his mission. President Monson told him to write them every week with out fail. Eventualy they did write and tell him how prowd they where of him and what he was doing. His mother was preparing to be baptised the father had just been ordained a priest. 
 
Some times we have to simply press on. This war with the advisary will not be decided in one battle. Its a war of atrition. Fight it like one. Take every advantage you can, Fast, Pray Involve others and the Lord. One member told me some wise councel "Dont have your Mission be your Mission. Life is your Mission." Unfortunataly we can go to the scriptures and see how hard it is for some who once had the gopel and then fell away from it. But that dosent change anything. They still have there agency. Not even the dead are lost. 
 
Love you, sorry i dont have a simmple ancwer for you but I will give it some more thought and write again. 
 
HI Everyone, 
 
We had some Baptisums yesterday! Two of em! Whoo! Honestly they where a battle. Satin placed his traps everywhere we looked. Then also we had 9 investigators at sacrament! It was about all our small unit could handle but they did wonderfull. I had one of the siters come up to me and say I don't know how yall can be so optomistic but its great! Elder Ballard and I don't honestly know how we did it eather. All I can say is that the Lord will provide after all you can do. Honestly Elder Ballard and I have been teaching so much in our area we have not had time to find a suficent pool of new investigators. So if we dont get finding here we may dry ourselves out. As it is now we have four sold individuals on with a date and 2-3 more that are looking to it. I know that dosent sound like alot of people but it is when you are making daily contact with them and trying to make as much contact with 22 recent converts this ward has had, and making contact with less active members and... the list goes on. Growing pains our good.
 
Oh snap... I am about out of time.
 
uh loved yalls emails. they where great.
Amy and Dan- the Telegram was great to. I am thinking about fraiming it.
Friends- Some of yall our going out on missions here quick. Buckle down and hold on because Satin likes rocking our boat as much as we enjoy rocking his. :)
Fight hard and when you have nothing left dont wory about anything but holding on untill tomarow and then get back at it.
 
Love you all,
