this week was pretty chill, my companion elder whitby has been having some back problems so we haven't been able to go out during the day to much this week but last night we did commit two people for baptism for the 26th. it was awsome the less active mother bore her testimony to her kids on faith and how the holy ghost has helped her through out her life. it was the bomb. so thats a total of six w/ a baptismal date. last night tho i was pretty mad at this fellowship.... we've been teaching this girl named paula who in her past over dosed on drugs and "cooked" her brain so she sorta aggrees to everything you say. but after paula had left and the lesson was over they were both like "paula said that she wants to be baptized this weekend, but we think she needs more time to learn at her own pace" elder bevans whipped out a scripture and it basically said if they have a desire to be baptized they can be baptized. lol straight out of joseph smiths mouth from the d&c. so we settled w/ we'll see how mext lesson will go, i hate stupid fellowships. but other than that things are going good. we had interviews this week and president said he mite send me to idaho!!! im so down w/ that never been up there before. im hoping for malad or soda springs. if i get sent up there next transfer ill be sure to take lots of pictures. this week ive been reading in alma 47 and the very last verse of that chapter. it says they were more hardened and wicked. when i read that i thought of some of the anti people that we run into day to day that were members of the church at one time but now have turned completely against that light and truth because they had gotten there testimony shakened. i really hope that some day they'll be able to come back into the fold of god and partake of all that he has.
