Week 17

I am wearing the new pants that guy made me.

 I'm doing good! If you ask someone here how they are doing they say, "I'm fine and you?" and you just respond, "I'm fine" it's different than back at home.

Things are alright with Elder Goje it's getting better so that's good. I don't know how I feel about being a trainer. I still feel like I'm a baby on the mission hahaha, but I think that this will help me be a better missionary and make me more responsible, that's for sure.

We have 2 baptisms planned this week, but it looks like only one will go through because Mary didn't come to church so we will have to push her date back.

This week we did get a few more investigator's which is really good. We also have one of our old investigator's back. His name is Onias and I taught him with Elder Stone. He had some problems with the Restoration and with Joseph Smith. We just told him to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it and then call us when he is ready for us to come back. Then this last Sunday he came to church and wants us to come back and teach him again. We went to his house on Thursday and he told us that he came to know that the Book of Mormon is true and that it teaches the same things as the Bible just in a simpler way. We invited him to be baptized so he is scheduled to be baptized on July 7th.

I know the Book of Mormon has power unto the convincing of men and just like Joseph Smith said, "A man would get closer to God by reading the Book of Mormon and abiding by it's precepts than any other book." I know this is true and if we put some effort into reading and praying, God will answer our prayers.
