Hello everyone!
Today new missionaries are arriving to the mission and we'll be busy with them, so I don't have a lot of time to email.
People are doing well, M. and J. are still setting a date to get married, and we're excited to keep seeing them and their family!
We have a recent convert who hasn't gotten to come for a while, and yesterday she and her sister who we are teaching came to church! We also had M. at church with us again which was awesome! She is so busy and so are we so it makes teaching her super hard, but she is so ready for the gospel and we hope she'll get baptized this transfer. A guy named J. who Elder Br. and I met on exchange came to church as well which was fun! He is young and had to work, but still came for the first hour! He is loving the Book of Mormon too! :) ALSO, we had a great man named T. S. He is a really nice middle aged man who has been going through a "crisis of faith" and he feels like our doctrines can help him out.
We have 19 missionaries going home and 17 missionaries coming out, as well as 2 Portuguese Sisters who are waiting for visa's. New missionaries are so cool! We get to take them out on the streets tonight for like 45 minutes and I'm excited to see what happens! :)
Life is so good!! Elder B. and I are staying together this transfer and we're going to work on getting all the people we find to church! We found a ton this transfer and need to help them to do the things that lead to true happiness, which are prayer, reading scriptures, and going to church. :) That is what helps us learn and know that God is there and loves us, and that His gospel is true. It is like a science experiment, and to "test" God, we need to do those things and see what happens! :)
Sure love ya all, hope life is great! Thanks again for all the prayers and emails, I never have time to respond to them all but know that I am so grateful for all of you and the impact you've had in my life.
Love,
Elder Branch :)
