Monday was P-day which was great! I got to see Elder Rowe and the rest of the zone and we played some basketball and scatterball, which brought back some great memories from gym ha-ha! We also had our first lesson with Lucrezia Selner! She has been meeting with missionaries for years and her son is a member in the Roseville 3rd ward so we set something up through him and she finally met with us! She set her own baptismal date for March 10th!!!! It was so awesome because we didn't even extend the baptismal commitment, she just said, "Well, I want to be baptized on March 10th. It's a Saturday and that seems like a good date." So that was an awesome experience!
Tuesday we helped a potential investigator we have never even met with moving and we had a good lesson with Peter O'con. We are working really hard to get Peter set up for baptism, but we will be patient. I know he will be baptized!
Wednesday we had a District Meeting and it was really good. We also had interviews with President Ward. I have to say I love that man so much! I know for a surety he was called of God! He is so in-tune with the Spirit. He just knows exactly what each individual needs to hear! We also had Michelle's interview with President Ward and that went super well! We had dinner with the Widow sisters in the ward so that was very nice. As well, when we were biking home, we saw a crowd of people and went over to see what was going on. It turned out this old (probably homeless) guy had fallen and cut his head open. We took him and bought him a first aid kit and walked him over to the motel across the street where he was staying. His Son or whoever opened the door and started freaking out, asking him a bunch of questions, like he was going to find whoever did it to him and beat them up or something. It was kind of hysterical. He then thanked us and gave us some stuff and said something like, " The Mormons aren't afraid of nobody and they always got peoples backs." So, I guess it was kind of flattering.
Thursday was eh. We had two good visits with Peter and Wendy Jacobs.
Friday we did some service for the O'cons and then weekly planned. So, nothing too exciting.
Saturday was an amazing day I will say! We had a great lesson with Darlene and her sister. And her sister's name I kid you not is Sheila Money. It was so good. Elder Colton and I gave each one of them blessings and we got Darlene to commit to baptism for March 17th! It'll be a long road, but I have faith she can do it! We also had another good lesson with Lucrezia.
Sunday was great as well! We had 5 investigators to church and we even got Wendy Jacobs to come to sacrament meeting! We also had two good visits with a couple of potential investigators named Joe and Dia.
But the crowning moment of this week, of my mission, in fact, I would maybe say of my life so far, was Michelle's Baptism! Michelle has progressed so well and has grown such a strong faith and testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ. Michelle is seriously the best! Her baptism was so great! So many people showed up and it was just a beautiful service! I guess the only hiccup was the talk on the Holy Ghost, she was talking about like rap music and stuff and it was just weird, but anyways it was so awesome! Her fiancé, Steve Fear, baptized her and it was just amazing! I have really bonded and gained a love and appreciation for those two and I can't wait for that day when they can enter the temple and be sealed for all time and eternity! I also had the wonderful privilege to confirm Michelle and it was such a neat experience! I love this Gospel! I love it with all my heart! I can promise each and every one that this Gospel is true and it can bless your life more than you know!
I love you and miss all of you dearly! Have a fantastic week!
