1.3.11

hello everyone!

  the holidays sounded great with all the parties family time. they were great here but its been very differnent here new years was great to start off with new years day we held a baptisimal service for a family of three a single mom and two of her sons, they were very excited and thought it was a great way to start off a new year. by making those covenants, it was a new years reselution for them to remember Jesus Christ and to always remember him they have been a great family to be able to teach they have just accepted everything we taught and made the neccissary changes to be baptized in Christs church. i admire them for being able to accept everything we teach and being willing to change it really does amaze me. God does prepare people to recieve the gospel and will help them to know when they hear it to know of its truth.

i have been amazed lately on how easy it is to talk about religion with everyone and how people are open to talking about God. before i came i thought it would be hard to just strike up a conversation about religion. but i have reallized how easy it is and wish i did it more before i came because its not sacary. the worst thing they can do is turn you down and you can go talk to someone else.

 

the church is true and this is the work of God!
