Our next baptism is on March 15. Mary Joice is doing great.
She is doing very well and listens well as long as her aunt is there to help us
teach. Members really help with keeping the investigators going and
progressing. After that we are looking at Jessica. She didn't make it to church
probably because it rained. We are looking at March 22 for her. Then we are
looking at James friend, Alejandro, on March 29. Everything looks good as long
as it doesn't rain and they continue to come to church. The members are doing
great as well because they are bringing investigators to church with them that
we have never taught. We are hoping to contact some of those investigators and
try to teach them so they can go on the list of baptisms so we can plan for
them. It is great when the members help. It makes our work a lot easier
and it helps them feel the blessings of
the gospel in their lives. We ended with 5 investigators at church this last
Sunday.
That is about the work we did for this week. We scrambled
around this week trying to meet the needs of the investigators and members and
then we were trying to keep things going with being a missionary. We had to get
pictures taken so that we could go home. Then this week we had a meeting with
the district president. That was a great meeting talking with him and how we
could move the work forward better in the Escalante District. One thing we had
an idea to do was have the branch presidents work with the missionaries. One
problem for them to become a stake is tithing. We are getting enough members
paying tithing so working with the branch president can lead us to those that
aren't paying to help them know the blessings of tithing which every Filipino
needs.
That was it for the week. We stayed pretty busy. Lots of
people were busy this week so we had some struggles but it worked out.
Love you all,
Elder Nielsen
