On saturday we helped a recent convert in the ward put up the ceiling/roof on a part of his house that he`s still building. It was really great to see the priesthood quorums work together. Then, the same day his mom, who just turned 81 years old, and his 10 year old daughter were baptized. They hadn`t wanted to for awhile but a couple of week ago they finally decided to be baptized. Now, the only one of their family left to be baptized is the 13 year old son. We honestly have no idea why he doesn`t want to be baptized still because he goes to church every sunday, participates and says that he knows the Book of Mormon and the Church are true. The grandma and the daughter almost weren`t able to get to church on time for their confirmation yesterday because their car ran out of gas, but somebody quickly drove to their house to pick them up. It was a little difficult to baptize the grandma because she has knee problems and usually moves around in a wheel chair or with a cane, but we sat her down on a chair in the font and were able to do it that way.
Today early in the morning we helped a recently reactivated member plant a little vegetable garden. It`s something we`re doing as a way to fellowship all the recents converts and recently reactivated members. Earlier in the week we saw a man in a wheelchair and rolled him up a hill and some stairs to his house. We`ve taught him a couple times since then this week, but he`s having a little problem believing in another book of scripture besides the Bible. Lots of service this week. It really is one of the best ways to share the Gospel.
This week will be the meeting with all the zone leaders of the mission that`s held every month. Our zone is the smallest one in the whole mission, but also one of the most successful recently.
Keep reading the Book of Mormon! With the challenge that our mission president gave us to read it by Christmas we had to read it in 3 months.
