Nyob zoo,
This past week the Wausau sisters had an investigator who got baptized named Marcus. Elder Tarone and I and the opportunity to help with his baptismal service. Elder Tarone baptized him and I was able to confirm him on Sunday. It was super awesome to be a part of it. One of my favorite things on my mission is to see people change by coming closer to their Savior. I don't have a picture yet, but need to get a copy.
We also have had quite a bit of success with this new warm spring weather. This past week we were able to get 3 new investigators which is a lot for this area, one of which was a media referral from the online Elders in the MTC. His name is Chandler. He grew up in the church but was never baptized. We were able to talk with him for a little bit and he said he wants to come to church and wants to be really involved with the ward. We have our first appointment with him today. He is about the same age as Marcus so we plan to take Marcus out with us to some lessons. It will be good for him to be able to share his testimony.
We went to Subway this past week and a less active member works there named Mai Lee. We were able to set up an appointment with her. She was baptized a few years back and she told us how much happier she was when she was active in the church. We shared the conference talk titled "Am I a child of God?" by Elder Taylor. It has such a good message and it was my favorite talk from this past conference. It talks about how important it is for us to remember that we are sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father. It is such a simple knowledge and something we have heard ever since we were in primary. But it is so important that we remember this because it can help us in so many aspects of our lives. If you have time this week please read it. It is such a great talk.
Also thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes today. It is very crazy how fast time flies. I don't really like getting older anymore haha. I had lots of emails and packages and I really appreciate it.
Love you all and thanks for all the support!
