This week flew by! To be honest, all the weeks are starting to blur
together, so I'm sorry if I repeat stories or something. Elder Polendo and I
keep so busy that it's just a constant whirlwind of awesome missionary work.
Here were the highlights (I think they're all from this week haha)
- We had a sweet P-day today where the zone got together to eat carne asada and watch a movie! It took some serious preparation though! And honestly, if we didn't have sisters in the zone, the whole thing would have been a giant disaster. Thank goodness for sisters! Honestly, I've learned that the church absolutely cannot function without the Relief Society. So thanks to all you women out there for your hard work! Anyway, now that I'm off that tangent, it was a really successful activity (a little stressful though so I don't know if we'll do that again).
- To be honest, Elder Polendo and my greatest joy comes from the zone's
success. And being with the other missionaries are the best moments of the week!
I really love the whole zone, and we're working amazing together! We should have
about 15 baptisms this next week and October looks really good!
- It looks like we might have had a breakthrough with Rosemary, the
investigator we've been teaching for a couple months now. We had been giving her
a little space recently with the whole baptism issue, but we prayed, fasted, and
put a date with her for the 28th. She kind of accepted. But then she came to
church again yesterday, and between classes, I showed her the baptismal font,
and explained a little about how a baptismal service is. She seems a lot more
comfortable with the idea. We should get a definite answer from her tomorrow.
Whenever it happens, it will be one of the best baptisms of my mission. She'll
be a leader in the church one day :)
- My comp, Elder Polendo, is hitting that realization that he's finishing
the mission in 10 days. I think he's starting to freak out a little bit, but he
continues working really well. Also, Elder Hebert, my old MTC comp, turned in
his application to BYU! He tells me that something I told him made him change
his mind, and he feels really good about the decision.
I hope all you guys had a great week, and that you have an even better week
starting today! I love you all! Adios!
Elder Birt
