Welcome President Nelson

Well this was quite the week if I do say so myself. We found over 40 new investigators, we worked like horses, but we had nothing to show for it Sunday. For the first time in months on Sunday I came up empty handed! Such a frustrating feeling, to have set a high goal that you know you can reach and then fall short. 

Not to say that setting goals are pointless, in fact I am grateful that I fell short, REALLY short, because it meant that I am capable of more, the goal I set to bring 15 investigators to church was never achieved, but in striving to accomplish it I was able to find and teach many new people about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and repentance. And that is a far more noble accomplishment than almost any other in this world! 

And I know that it will all get better soon, next week I will work smarter and more effectively in order to have better results, that is life! And I love it! 

We had a very different experience this week. We have been teaching a family and two of the sons were ready and pumped to get baptized, so we went to the father to get his permission, he consented but... he asked that we wait, so that he could get baptized with his wife and sons! I was really surprised when he said it because he had never shown any desire to get dunked, but now he does. We have helped him quit drinking he has been sober 2 weeks now, but now we got to work some magic,  because he smokes. BUT HE CAN DO IT!! I know he can and I hope he knows that. So we got a family of 5 getting ready for next month! It is gonna be quite the fight to get them dunked there is no doubt about that, but they are willing and really motivated to get it done. It is a family of seven, with 5 kids, so they have a special place in my heart, I kinda like families of 7;)

A lot of prayer fast and powerful lessons ahead to get them dunked,  but it can be done!

Love you all so much

Love,

Elder Morrison
