This week was a great one with up and down's. Lets start with
our baptism... Dominador Macagba was baptized last Saturday. He is a
77 yr old retired military Sargent. He was also interviewed yesterday
as well as Oscar Morgan and found worthy the receive the Priesthood.
So next week they will be given the Priesthood. The other candidate we
had for baptism is having some problems so we are working with him and
he will be baptized in the up coming weeks. Also yesterday we had 120
attend church which is a big improvement!!! The highest is about 120
about 6 months ago in January. A lot of less-active members came to
church. Ones that i have never seen at church.

The downs this week were we lost a few progressing investigators.
one tried returning the BOM but I insisted that she keeps it. Another
would just share the same scripture time after time that "No man can
see God" I hope I quoted that right. Even after the scriptures that we
shared that prophets have seen and talked to God. So he was rejecting
the truthfulness of the BOM and Joseph Smith. Others we dropped cause
they are not keeping commitments but all of these we will go back to
from time to time.

This is Presidents Howard last week. He leaves July 1 and
President Stuki comes in. Last week President Howard gave everyone
blessings. His blessing for me was really cool. He said that I will
have the opportunity to train new missionaries coming in and be a
leader. He also told me to stay strong and work hard cause Satan knows
my potential and would love to take over.

I know this Gospel is true! No doubt in my mind. Like I shared a
few weeks ago about conversion...We are all still being converted.
Kinda like Peter from the Bible..The Savior asked him 3 times because
the Savior knew he wasn't converted to the Gospel and what did Peter
do? He denied him. Would we ever do that? OR Would we ever deny our
faith? We are still in our conversion process and its a life long
path. Thats all until next week. Take care everyone.
