Elder Field Is Still Here Knocking Doors!

As you can see I can't really think of a more creative subject line. so that will have to do for this week! Anyway, we were able to see some freaking awesome things this week! FIRST OFF!!!

STEVE AND CHRISTANA MINNIER AND JOE CHANDLER ALL GOT BAPTIZED THIS SATURDAY AND WERE CONFIRMED YESTERDAY!!!! Oh man I love them all so much! They are all so good!! The baptism was amazing, the spirit was so strong, and there were a ton of members there to support them. It just was fantastic.  The week prior to the baptism was horribly hectic...... lessons canceling, many times thinking "man I don't know if they are going to make it to Saturday", but alas it all worked out and now they are officially members of the church! And they are all so happy!!! We had a chance to talk to them a little bit after they were baptized, and they were all just so happy.  They all were glowing with the radiance of a new soul committed to follow Christ. It was so good. Anyway, we aren’t done yet with them. Next stop is the temple and we are going to start preparing them to take ancestor names to the temple!!!! :D

The rest of the week was good, we were crazy busy as always. We were able to finish our first "family mission plan" experience. I don't remember if I told yall this but, we are going around to members of the ward creating family mission plans.  We did one with the Trevino family, who actually were taught and baptized by a couple of really good missionary friends. But we sat down with them and they were so enthusiastic about the entire thing!! They loved it and came up with some really solid ideas for a mission statement along with some really good ideas for a plan. I'm so pumped to go visit other members of the ward. I just hope they are excited as the Trevinos were! :D

Other than that, we were able to pick up a few new investigators this week. One named Steve M. and the other named Louis. So hopefully we can start meeting g with them regularly, because we are running low on the investigator department hahah.... I guess that's a good problem to have right now. :D But I'm pumped to get back out there and knock a bunch of doors. It’s strange but at the beginning of the mission I hated knocking doors, but now it's almost therapeutic. Whenever I'm feeling down or I'm just not up to do missionary work that day, I always ask my companions if we could knock doors for like 30 mins and afterward I feel great and am ready to get back to it. It's awesome!

Anyway, I think that's all for me! I love you all and wish you the best of weeks! God is real, Jesus loves you, Joseph Smith was and Is a prophet, and the Book of Mormon is the work of God and is the actual historic account of the people who once inhabited this land. And I'm every so grateful for their stories.  

God is Good,

Cheers!
