the one baptizing ! Never thought that it would happen but it did and I'm grateful for it. This
week was good though. It started out where it was really warm like 65 70 and we were in our t-shirts
and then today it put down a couple inches of snow. But earlier this week we just taught a
couple of our investigators and went to Fernley for meetings and walked the streets to find people
to teach. Something that missionaries have in their head is that we can't go "tracting" and I
don't know where they got that idea from but I love to go tracting ! I love just praying about
a street and knocking every door on that street until we find people to share the Gospel with.
We did that on Saturday where the work was going slow and I just said to my companion we're
going tracting and so we started knocking doors and not even 4 doors in we found a family of
4 to start teaching and he was excited to talk with us and wants to learn more about the Gospel !
It's always interesting to see what people say when we knock some are really friendly and some
are really rude but it's worth it though and I find a lot of joy doing that ! On Friday we had a baptism
for Heather and Aubri and I never thought I'd stand in a font on my mission and I actually did !
It was a memorable experience that I'll never forget. The font here in the church is really small
and so the water was really shallow and I had to do it twice because the first time her dress and
foot popped up and so the second time I stood on her feet and it went well. It was an amazing
experience and the spirit was really strong there ! On Tuesday we go out to a place that is called
Shurz and it's an Indian reservation and we get to play volley ball with them on Tuesday evenings
and it's a lot of fun. We have two investigators out there who are getting baptized in a couple
weeks. That was most of my week but I'm grateful for all you do mom and I hope Brianna gets
feeling better ! have a good week love you mom !
