Week #68- my first baptism interview!

This week was awesome. I was able to do my first baptism interview with an 11 year old girl. I loved it and felt the spirit so strong, the elders did a great job teaching her and she did her part as well to gain a testimony of the church. I can’t wait to do more interviews, I loved every second of it. This week was the first week that I have done all 3 of our goals of excellence. We had some really good success lately and we have many people that are close to baptism. We didn’t have our baptism this week, because the investigator wants his family to be there and called us at the last second saying that he couldn’t be baptized on Saturday.  Working with the missionaries from the MTC was pretty fun. I left with a Chilean and we had some good success. We were able to find a new investigator and a less active family. It also helped me with my contacts. I wanted to help him learn how to contact so we were able to have 15 contacts in about an hour and a half and I felt that they were really good contacts. We met some really cool people and it made me want to contact even more in my area. Elder Batty helped me in our division as well to have better contacts and how to correct the missionaries in my district. This week was awesome!

Love, Elder Monson
