My first baptism!

So this week I want to start off by saying happy birthday to my brother Cameron. I hope that is was a good day for him and remind him that he only has one more year until he is half way to 50.

This week I would say was a really good week. In the beginning of the week we had to say goodbye to our mission president and say hello to our new mission president Elder Bostrom. We had a meeting with him and he is so amazing. He really is what Armenia need right now. He worked as an accountant and with the problems Armenia has been having before the De-staking it is perfect. So apparently they lost their stake because they were mishandling the money. Not everyone was stealing, but some were. I think that a lot of them just were not trained properly. It is like when the church started in Armerica there were some bumps in the road and we just have to get over them and move forward. But our new mission president is super cool and you can tell that he has a super strong spirit. When I was talking with him and getting to know him a little bit, he gave me the assignment of finding out what Handcart family I am from and seeing that I am on a misison and cant really do that, can you do it for me mom? 

Then later on in the week I had my first baptism. We have been working with her for 3 weeks now and she is just so amazing. She didnt really have very many problems and just accepted all of the invitations that we gave her. You can say that she was a golden investigator. The baptism was super cool. All of the missionaries in my area came and it is just really amazing being able to help someone make that step to be able to live with our Heavenly Father again. I wish I could send you pictures, but I am not allowed to on this mission. I think I might get a flash drive and put a bunch on there to send home so you can look at all my pictures. 

This week I started reading the Book of Mormon again this time I am reading it all with the idea of looking for references of enduring to the end and marking it on things we need to do to endure to the end. I am really liking reading it this way and hope by the end of my mission I will have 10 book of mormons on different questions I have. Next I am thinking about doing how to increase our gratitude? I know dad will like that. 

I love you all. Keep reading the Book of Mormon everyday and pray about it. God will answer if we do our part and show that we want an answer for what we are asking.

Oh yeah one thing that I forgot to say this week is we were doing service for a member in our Branch and we were moving these board to make space and on every board were a ton of ants. We were on an ant hill and still had to move all of those boards that is the picture that I sent. If you zoom in you can see them all.
