For
a while, I was so worried about my mission fizzling down to an insignificant
finish, but this week, something amazing happened. I don't know if you
recall Cole and Nikki from my last area whom Elder Southworth and I started to
teach after 7 years of effort from their neighbors. Well I got a call
from Elder Southworth telling me that they have made the decision to finally be
baptized on Thursday! Yay!! I was so happy when I heard. So I
called the mission president and begged and begged and begged him to let me go
to the baptism, and he said if I could find a ride that he would let me
attend! So I get to go over there and get a picture of them in
white! They are so prepared. When they showed up to church
the last week I was there, and apparently they haven't missed a week since. They
are totally active and ready to be baptized. I've never been so happy in
my entire life than I am at this moment! We are desperately trying to get
a ride there, and I hope that it will all work out.
In
other news, tomorrow we have zone conference and Elder David S. Baxter of the
Seventy will be attending. I'm so excited for it all to come around and
get the opportunity to hear from a general authority right before I go home.
Not
much other news at the moment. My piano talents were discovered again so I got
to do prelude in Sacrament meeting in church on the piano. The speaker
from the high council gave me a really nice compliment when he spoke for his
talk saying that "this type of prelude music is beautiful and greatly
encourages the spirit to come in at the meeting."
It’s
been a great week with the news of the baptism and I'm ecstatic with the
prospect of the baptism this week! See everyone soon!
Elder
Bringhurst
