We had our interviews this week, and boy the time really does fly! You think that other people are taking a long time until you realize that your ten minute interview has slowly grown into 25 minutes! Oh well, time flies when you are having fun. But time is a thing that we don't have a lot of right now. We've got so many appointments that it is quite hard to be able to schedule them in order to be able to get to every one of them on time! But its alright, a good problem, I suppose. The definite highlight of this week was the baptism of Vanessa!
She has grown quite a strong testimony of the truthfulness of the church, and at her baptism nearly 30 youth from the whole stake came! It was quite a testimony to me how great and powerful a tool fellowshipping is! Another very nice highlight of this week was recognizing the true power of the Book of Mormon. We were able to teach two awesome families who had excellent very specific questions about the priesthood authority of the apostles. And with each of these great lessons we were able to present to them the Book of Mormon as the great defining evidence to be able to answer their questions, and they were each so grateful!
It is always funny to see the surprise on people's faces when they realize that we want to give them this book, for free! The Book of Mormon is such a great treasure we are so lucky to have, I'm so thankful to live in a time when we have it! Anyways, looks to be another packed week ahead with mission President fireside, exchanges, and the zone conference! Should be an adventure!
Love you all!
