Doubling Our Baptisms

This week has been a great week noting greater than serving the Lord every day.  I wasn't able to get you letter for this week.  You were probably super busy in Cali.  You will have to let me know how that trip went and how everything else is going.  Thank you so much for all that you do and all you loving support as I have been so blessed by your prayers.  This week was a great week in the mission field.  Bennitta Flowers is very excited to be baptized next week end and her kids can't wait to be baptized the week after that.  Bennitta is such a strong lady and she knows exactly what she is looking for is this life and exactly what she needs.  It is amazing to see her change over the past couple of months as she has been able to discover the gospel of Jesus Christ and how it will bring her great peace and comfort in this life.  I have been so blessed to have worked with her these past couple of months it has been such a great blessing.  Another great thing that has occurred this week is Lamont and Lidia are progressing to there baptismal date.  They are so excited to accept the gospel into there lives and find great happiness.  This family is going through so much but any time that something goes wrong or they get down they instantly turn to the Book of Mormon to find there peace and comfort and there Savior Jesus Christ.  The Lord has been very kind and loving to us this past week to see so many blessings of find new people to teach the gospel to.  The work is truly hastening and it is amazing.  It is moving forward at an alarming rate and it has been such a blessing to be on the ground work of it all.  Our Mission President, President Wilson, at the beginning of this year said that we should work on doubling our baptisms.  This was not only from President Wilson but also from President Hinckley while he was still alive.  As we have been working to achieve this goal there have been so many miracles all through out the mission.  The Lord doesn't give us a commandment save he shall prepare a way for us.  It has been such a blessing to be able to see the Lord's hand in this work guiding his missionaries and his members to those who need the gospel of Jesus Christ in there lives and don't know where to find it.  I absolutely know that this church is true and I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God.  I know that he lives and that he loves each and everyone of us.  I know that my Savior Jesus Christ has risen again and because of that we can conquer all challenges and trials in our lives.  He has restored his church here on this earth I know he has.  I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
