Great things are happening!

This week has been great! A lot of great things!! 

This week has been very full! We had Zone Conference on Thursday, trade-offs on Friday, splits on Sunday, and so many more things! It has been great though! We found a super solid guy named Brother Cooper! The first lesson he asked how many times he needs to go to church in order to be baptized! He reads from the Book of Mormon every night and takes notes on everything he reads and feels! He is pretty much the perfect investigator! So he will be getting baptized on March 19th!

We also have a baptism this Saturday in the ocean at Treasure Beach! Her name is Launa and she is the one who has the visions and seizures all the time! She is also so prepared to be baptized! She comes to church every Sunday worrying that she is going to have a seizure in the middle of the road on the way to church! It just shows how much faith she really has and how bad she wants to become a member of our church!

We also have a couple of families who will be baptized in March! They are moving a little slower but will be a great benefit to the branch! This Junction Branch needs faithful and willing to work members! The branch is not very supportive of missionary work because no one has cars. We don't have a branch presidency other than a blind branch president! The other elders in the area do all the branch work! So we are really trying to build up this branch so it can be self sustaining! I think there are two men in the branch including the President who hold the Priesthood!  We are really trying our hardest to find men who are willing to serve faithfully for the branch!

On P-days, we normally our working on our bikes because so much happens with them through the week! I have broken 3 seat posts so far?? So I have to sit super low on my bike and have my knees to my chest! hahaha Makes it a little difficult riding up the big hills! But it's all good because I will be able to get a new seat post today! We normally will just relax and do things around the apartment.

It has still been raining this week! When it rains here it really rains! It feels very good though because it is so hot! My companion and I are really trying our hardest to strengthen the branch and want to double the size of it! Big goals but I know that we can do it as long as we are focused, diligent in all that we do, and are exactly obedient! It is such a blessing to see the Lord help us as we serve with all our might mind and strength!
