Week of Astonishment

This week was amazing. We had a baptism last Saturday. The guy's name is Sami and his mother is from Sweden and makes the very best cake. Sami studies a lot of religions and decided to be baptized in the Church. He's pretty cool.

A big miracle I'll never forget. I went on exchanges with Elder Amari who's from Atlanta and a convert at age 16. He is an awesome Elder who had such an amazing story. We were biking and I saw a guy across the street and I had a prompting to go talk to him. Anyway, we were across the road and the phone rang and we answered however during the call, the guy came to us and asked us for a blessing. Shock to that is we never went across the street but not as shocking as hearing his story in wanting to have his life better. We walked to a chapel and he shared with us about himself and his desires to do better. Because of this we decided to hand him a Book if Mormon, the Bible and the pamphlets of the lessons we teach and gave him a blessing. It was such a miracle in doing so.
Transfer calls were today and I'm staying in Orem Cherry Hill and Hillcrest Stakes with my brother Elder Fitzgerald. We met a guy who went through the flip charts lessons when he was little and is a Missionary Training Investigator. He had all the lessons and decided to come to us and desires to be baptized into the Church. He knows everything of what we teach and we are hoping a baptism for him in March.

Have a great week people.
