Kia ora whanau! 

Every once in a while, everything in the week will just go right. This was one of those weeks. I kept telling Elder T, "Things have been going so well. Almost too well. I give us about 2 more days before something goes wrong." But we're still being blessed with things going really well! So I'm pretty grateful. 

What has gone well? 

Well, D is ready to be baptized this Sunday! K hasn't been coming to lessons because she's been working so she will be baptized, just not now. In a month or two. President gave us permission to baptize and confirm him on Sunday after church because of the distance and we couldn't be happier with how things are working out. He's so spiritually mature. I'm always impressed at the things he tells us. 

While in town on Friday, my companion stopped to tie his shoe and two girls ran up to us and asked, "Are you the Mormons??" 
"Yeah that's us!"
"Can you tell us about Mormonism?"
"Yeah of course we can! Should we go sit down?"
We then walked to a park bench, sat down, and taught them for about an hour with literally hundreds of people walking past. It was pretty neat. 

Also. We had a mission tour with Elder and Sister Nielson. It was one of those spiritual highlights of the mission where you come out of the 6 hour long meeting ready to turn around and do it all again. I know that Elder Nielson is called of God. I also know anew that God lives and loves us, that Jesus Christ is his son, and that Thomas S. Monson is the prophet of God on the earth today. 

I love you all! 

Love,

Elder Benjamin
