Finally!!

So on Saturday we baptized Michelle, Ryan, and Mia!!!! Its been a year and some change in the making but I finally had a baptism. But its not about me, its been so cool to see how they have grown and progressed. They are converts for sure. Immediately after the baptism Mia went to a stake dance with the other youth from the ward and then on monday went to early morning seminary! Elder Jones and I are Stoked. I was able to baptize Michelle, Elder Jones baptized Mia and Ryan. Super awesome weekend.  

The rest of the week was relatively uneventful, we went on exchanges with the zone leaders last week and I went with Elder Kane, we stayed down in their area which is Colonial Heights/Petersburg area, We ended up doing a lot of planning for their baptism that weekend so we didn't have too much time to do finding, But the 20 minutes that we did have we found 2 kids who were so prepared. It was pretty awesome. 

Yesterday we had an all mission conference, Elder Haynie from the first quorum of the seventy came and spoke to us about finding. He pretty much told us we were doing it all wrong and told us how to do it right. He spent the last 3 years on assignment in the Phillipines, he told us our numbers were too low and we just needed to go out and baptize people hahah. After the conference all of us missionaries were like, "you can tell he spent the last 3 years  in the Phillipines" Welcome to stateside work Elder Haynie!!! But he did have some awesome ideas for finding so were going to implement that for sure. 

All is well in Virginia, (for now) apparently there is a huge hurricane headed directly to us, so we will see what actually happens, cause as of right now its the calm before the storm, sunny and 95 not a cloud in sight. But nevertheless we went to walmart last night to buy some things to prepare and the place looked like the apocalypse had happened, the shelves were gutted, there was no water, people running around frantically throwing stuff in carts, we ended up going to Kroger to get water and some food items, and we have evacuation plans in case things get real fun. 

thanks everyone, Love you all
