Goals Achieved

So here's a few highlights of this week. 

There was a visitor in our ward, he was 16 and he bore his testimony. He was talking about the plan of Salvation and how we can become like Heavenly Father but he said, "We get everything Heavenly Father has. And that's like, a lot." hahaha so using his words, I'm really excited to get like, a lot in the next life. 

Here's the real one though. President and Sister Hudson wanted us to set a baptismal goal for this transfer. We decided to have one baptism as our goal. Then, we had no idea how we were gonna get it. Nobody we were teaching was even remotely ready to get baptized and it's getting close to the end. We have been working hard though, cleaning up our area and dropping investigators that weren't progressing. Last night, the zone leaders called us and told us about  a less active family that had been to their sacrament meeting two weeks in a row because they slept in late (ours is at 9 theirs is at 1.) 

Their daughter  is 9 or 10 and wants to get baptized. She's already been to sacrament meeting two times in a row, her parents are supportive and all that needs to happen is the lessons. So, the zone leaders called and told us that they set a baptismal date for us!! All we have to do is teach her. I'm honestly in awe. We've been working so hard and we set a goal like we were told and Heavenly Father just gave us the baptism. It's incredible. I'm so so so so excited, obviously. Cuz it's my first baptism!! We already have an appointment set up to start teaching and I know it's all gonna work out. 

Thanks for everything. 

Love,
