Baptisms of a Mother and Daughter!

January 11, 2016

This week was pretty awesome. We had the two baptisms and they were excited. Now we are going to help them go to the temple and do their family history. Everything is going pretty well in the area. We are going to contact a lot more this week in order to find people who need the gospel. This area is also awesome because the ward is great. On Saturday for the baptisms a lot of people came and they almost came on time haha. It was a good baptismal service. 

We all started contacting in a part of the area where we have never really gone before. It is super dusty, but there were a lot of people that wanted to hear the Gospel and are now investigators. One of them bought us soda and told us a lot about her life. She said that she was going to come to the baptism, but never showed up. We have an appointment with her and her family tomorrow. So we will start working there a little bit more.

Also these weeks coming up should be pretty good because it is my companion’s birthday on Saturday and my birthday is next week. We are going to try to tell all the members so that we can get cake and stuff like that haha. Being a missionary is awesome. 

Also since I kind of get bored on my time at internet I have been reading a lot about family history. I just read about Grandpa Seljaas dad and that was cool. You both should tell me who I should investigate and who would be interesting to learn about. Well have a good week and don’t forget to read the scriptures
