Hey mom,
Hey things are going great we had a slow but eventful week. We only taught about 4 lessons this week but Saturday totally payed off. We baptized Deborah!!! it was super great we had a lot of people that showed up and was able to support her. it was even better because she had more family and friends there, than there was members. It was a huge missionary opportunity. We had an amazing lesson with Bob, we taught him in a members home and it was amazing, the member bore solid testimony of the word of wisdom and the power of repentance. It was so powerful and to spiritual it was great. He i pray will have the strength to over come and to drop this vice. it is really testing my patience. but we will not give up on him. he will eventually be baptized. We had quite a scare this week. we have a scheduled baptism again this week for Andrew for Friday, his interview was supposed to be on Friday. well Friday about 2 hours before the interview we got a call from his aunt, and his mom was in the hospital he had fainted and was in the hospital and we had to post pone the interview. last minute we are able to get the interview done tomorrow morning at the chapel. phew! That is a major burden off our shoulders. we have been super nervous that we were going to have to postpone the baptism. Its a good thing that the lord provides a way for the willing man! Talk about a close call. Yesterday we were able to attend the Why I Believe fireside put on by the mission. it was amazing Gabby was able to go and to bear her testimony of the truth of the restored gospel it was so amazing it touched everybody heart. She was personally thanked by the mission presidency and President and Sister Collins. it really think about how a missionary is able to see success. Dad i really appreciated your email this week. About the experiences of the temple that you were able to have. This week i have been thinking alot about that as well, That is out true goal as missionaries, to help people to receive eternal life. Only we are the chosen ones that have the full time callings to help our father in heaven fulfill his end goal to bring to pass the immortality of man. I think back about the times that i was always the happiest, it was usually when the gospel was involved. I am very grateful that i have this opportunity to be able to preach repentance to the people in Indiana. I am very great full to be able to serve here in Plainfield, this is where i fell the most reward, i have now been able to see a conversion from start to not finish but an even better start, of baptism. i feel like a successful missionary.
It has been pretty cold but it is hot again... Bummer! I love the fall season people are starting to chop their corn and are working the ground oh the smells!!! (speaking of smells the guy sitting next to me smells like dead animal that is rotting) The color's are changing and soon the hunters will be out blazing away. that means members will bring deer meat to us. i am very excited for that! Everything is going great Elder Wise and my self moved apartments and now we are living a really nice place right across the road from our old place. Its kinda nice. In our old apartment when we move out upstairs, some one moved in downstairs. while we cleaned our apartment out we foung out that the new neighbors are very active pot smokers. and we have connecting vents. needless to say we took lots of breaks and were always hungry. everything went well and we got alot accomplished. our new address is 202 North ST. Plainfield IN 46168. Our Mail box hasn't been broke in yet we will see if it ever does. but i love you all very much
