Baptism of Samuel and Emanuel!

I will be staying here in 6th Ward and also be doubled into Alamo Ranch. This is now I believe the biggest bike area in the mission or at least close to it. I truly don't know how I'm going to get to most of my area but hopefully the members will be willing to give us rides. I will be receiving my 6th companion Elder Duford who I don't know anything about besides that he came out with me. I will also be staying as the district leader. My companion will be going to Parkwood my old area so that is great.

Baptism on Saturday was great. We had a good amount of members show up and participate in the baptism. I had the opportunity to baptize Samuel which was such a great experience. They were both so excited and everything thankfully went smoothly. The father who is still not a member came and enjoyed watching his son and grandchild be baptized. We are hoping that he will want to be baptized soon. We invited him to be baptized again at church and he said that he was going to have to think about it. Also Emmanuels mother came to watch them be confirmed and stayed for all three hours. She doesn't live in our area but we hope we can also start teaching her and set her with a date.

We had a great lesson on Saturday with a man named Tommy. He use to be married to a member over 20 years ago and says that he is missing something in his life and is not sure what it is. He accepted a baptismal date once he comes to know the Book of Mormon is true. We have a couple other people that we are working with and hope that they will start to progress and come to church.

We also had the chance again to do service twice at the food bank. My companion then had to get a root canal and the Mormon dentist let me watch it which was pretty interesting. This week we didn't get out proselyting to much which was to bad because my comp was either not felling sick or we had to call people to participate in the baptismal program.
