Hey Mom,

This week was amazing! Everything went very well. Gabby's Baptism was exceptional. She had the best ward support there ever. there were so many people that the service had to take place in the chapel in order to sit everyone. The service its self was amazing she had the "Mormon Glow" in her face. It has been a true pleasure to see some one start the lessons and to be able to follow through till baptism. That has been the best thing so far on my errand for the lord. I am so grateful that the lord has allowed me to stay here long enough to see that conversion take place. This week has been great we have been super duper busy we have been looking like crazy to find a new apartment the mission gave a 30 day notice on Monday, and thus far we are not finding anywhere to live. But oh well. This week i went on my first exchange as a District leader. it was awesome i had Elder Brooke come here to Plainfield. It was great we had a very good time and some very great lessons. We were able to teach Jessica. it was sweet. We taught the Plan of Salvation and put the emphasis on the Atonement, it was amazing the spirit was super strong and was very, very effective. We were in awe, it was one of the most spiritually lessons that i have ever partook in. Jessica now has a baptism date for September 24, we are very happy for her she is super solid. we also have another new investigator Deborah, she too is solid. She was a referral from our zone leaders, she is cool she will have a baptismal date Tuesday for September 17, she is great. Yesterday we had a total of 4 investigators that attended church, and crazy enough they all stayed all 3 hours. We had Jessica, Deborah, Andrew, and Bob, they are all progressing and doing really well and they are having great things happen to them as they keep our commitments. This week is going to be super crazy we have exchanges today and tomorrow, a leadership training on Wednesday, Thursday we have district meeting and weekly planing, Friday we have zone conference, Saturday i have to conduct a baptism interview. busy, busy week. and we might be moving this week as well. but it should be great, i am stoked. i am grateful that all is going well back home my prayers are always with you all.

I Love You All
