Well this week was a good time, we were able to find a lot of really cool people in our area and bring a handful of them to church which was awesome, and this week I am pumped because Marvin is getting dunked!!
Marvin is a son of some recent converts that are super cool and nice, he hasn't been able to get baptized because he hasn't fully repented, but he is repenting and so pumped to get baptized! We have been working a ton with him and he has changed so much! We have worked a lot with him. He has a ton of potential to become a good solid member, a leader even in the Church here which is something that we always need!
I was pretty frustrated one night because of some stinkers that just fell through and what not, and that day I was pretty sick too, had junk coming out both ends, haha, and things just didn't go our way. I was on a comp exchange in another area, and at night Elder Ward called me after interviewing Marvin for baptism, and he told me that Marvin asked that I baptize him, because of how much I have worked with him (because I have had 3 comps in the same area) which surprised me because his step dad is a worthy priesthood holder and could totally baptize him. But I felt super honored and it really helped me because, darn sometimes this work kicks ya and you feel no gratification for all the efforts that you put in!
Sometimes though God sends you a little ray of sunlight that makes you feel good and that what you are doing is most definitely worth every drop of blood sweat, tears, diarrhea and vomit! (sorry if that is tmi for anyone).
New years day was nice, we worked up on some members in soccer which was a good time! I did good as goalie which was nice.
Love you all have a stellar year and Stay Classy,
Elder Morrison
