208 contacts this week , a record 29 August 2010

Things this week went okay, it was kind of frustrating because almost all of our lessons fell through, but I contacted 208 people this week which I think is the most I've contacted in one week thus far. It is difficult because all the people I work with teaching for so long in the end don't change and it makes me really sad, but the Lord always sends me blessings in the end. This Saturday a teenager that is golden in all aspects of the word is going to get baptized. He came to church with his friend, we put a baptismal date the second lesson and now he's getting baptized. Piece of cake. Also a couple I've been teaching really wants to get baptized, there is just one little thing, they aren't married and she is only 17 so they need their parents permission to get baptized and her parents live in San Blas. Which is kind of far away, really far actually, San Blas are islands off of Panama. So keep them in your prayers.

Also this week I did something new I've never done before. We went with the couple I'm teaching to a baptism the elders had so that they could see how the baptisms are, etc. It seems the elders forgot to tell the lady that was going to be baptized a few important things, like that she should bring a towel, extra pair of underwear and that her underwear should be white. So, the lady who is like 40 something showed up with a black bra, and well she couldn't get baptized like that, So my comp and I took her to the bathroom and I explained to her that she couldn't have a black bra. And then I took off my bra and lent it to her. I then had stayed in the church all afternoon without a bra because my bra was soaking wet. I think I can truly say that I've learned to sacrifice everything for the Lord. Even my bra.
Anyways, I love you all and I hope you all have an amazing week.
