 Monday Sept 20, 2021 This week has been good. It's sad to leave the area, but I'm excited to be a zone leader.  It's not too hard it doesn't seem.  Plus you get to help a bunch of missionaries be better and come closer to Christ.  Being a ZL, you can have a lot of influence over the missionaries and I'm excited to help them change their lives.   We had a potential member make us leather Book of Mormon covers. While he was making them he was filming it for his YouTube video and he plans on posting it soon. We hope that this can help his YouTube channel and also maybe his viewers will be interested on what the Book of Mormon is! This could be a pretty cool next few months for him.  We also were able to attend the Temple with Tracy and do baptisms for the dead with her. It was an amazing experience. It had been so long since I've been able to do that, but I'm glad I was able to go. The Temple had a unique spirit to it. Every time I leave the Temple I jus...

Monday September 13, 2021   Hey everyone!  This week was awesome! We had Stacy's baptism and it had around 60-80 people there. It was a great turnout! Sister Russell did show up and play the piano beautifully there. There were many non-members there and it was great to share the message of the Restoration to them all. It was a great restoration presentation. The spirit was very strong. Elder Way was stressing out a little bit before the Presentation, but he did it and he taught well. As I said the first vision I started to tear up again and this is the 2nd time that it has happened within a month or so. The last thing I want to do is to cry in front of 60-80 people but because the spirit was so strong it testified to me of the reality of the vision that Joseph Smith had. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and that through him the Lord worked and continues to work a mighty Restoration on the earth today.  It was also interesting because that same night we were te...

 Monday Sept 6, 2021 This week has been good. Brandon, one of our friends, has read the introduction to the Book of Mormon so he is making little by little progress. Stacy is on track for Baptism on Saturday! Her Baptism is at 3pm and we invited Sister Russell to play the piano for the baptism and so we are hoping she will be able to do that. We hope this can help her make her choice to be baptized soon. We are also making good progress with a few others and one in particular. We met with someone last night and his name is Murray. He and his wife both are from Africa and they are the most humble people ever. They love talking to us and we love them. We talked and set up another time to meet and found his wife. We are super excited to start teaching them because they really do seem elect. There are other people that are slowly progressing, but taking longer. This area has a lot of work so it's awesome.  The District is doing well. We got the news about Sister Evans leaving so t...
