Alright everyone so GOOD news, Anton did get baptised this Saturday!! It was really awesome to see and be apart of his baptismal process. I was stressing out really bad though because first of all he doesn't know that many people from the ward because he usually just sticks with the girls friends family, The Viriatos, and so not to many people know him. So when we were planning the whole program we had the Viriatos doing alot of stuff but it wasn't enough to fill an entire program so we had to call some ward members who didn't know him to give talks and such. Haha it was quite funny to invite them when they don't even know him. But it turned out really well, We had brother Austin talk about the Holy Ghost and he did an amazing job. He is actually very similar to Anton because he started investigating the church because of his girlfriend (wife now) and he told all about it which really helped Anton alot. I was so happy how everything went. It was amazing to be apart of it... seriously i've never felt such love and joy. I just hope he continues to progress and strengthen his testimony. Sorry I skipped right to Saturday haha so back to the beginning.
Monday we had a ton of extra miles because the freakin zone leaders a couple transfers ago told us we only had 1050 miles a month. So we had to plan very percise miles a day and we would always barely make it on miles on month because our area is huge. But they told us monday apparently we have 1250 so we had an extra 200 miles and they don't carry over to the next month so we were going to loose them if we didnt use them. So we drove into BOSTON :) haha yes and we went and played volleyball at the Cambridge chapel and just checked out the city ( my camera was dead though hah sorry, you can see when you come to pick me up :) ) but it was sweet then me and Elder Crandell went and bought a used/new opened ping pong table to keep and we all spent only 20 dollars for it so that is sweet again. And Elder Crandell is really good so I have some competition now.
Tuesday we were Red Dotted :( sucked because I can't stay in the house with a bunch of dudes all day and not get sick of them haha but we just shoveled all day and played ping pong.
Wednesday we went and shoveled out Pat Paganella which is Nicks wife and she really is warming up to us. And we got a missionary who was coming home from his mission in cape verde and his flight to canceled because of snow so he stayed with Elder Dos Santos and I for the night and we got Red Dotted AGAIN... Shoot me please haha but we got to go to the Austins for Dinner so it made it better. Speaking Portugues which the Missionary was fun because that is what they speak in Cape Verde so... he is from logan ish area and I asked him if he knew any Nyes but he didnt. Thats all
Thursday was a normal day finally haha we had normal everything. We weekly planned Thursday and we went to a less active member with Jasher Austin ( he gets his mission call this week I think) and we talked to her about Joseph Smith and the Importance of him and then asked her for some referals :) she may have some that she'll bring to her house and we can teach so that is pretty exciting haha. After that we took Jasher home and we tracted for awhile and went to the Souzas who is a part member family/less active as well haha and we keep inviting them to church and someday we'll get through ahha but that was that day.
Friday not to much happened just tracted and went to a members house who the Mother of the family knows Alexa Johnson's mom! Because they were best friends at BYU or something and they saw a picture of me on Alexa's facebook page and realized that Im from PG and that it was me and it was crazy weird haha but awesome so woah small world huh. that's all
Saturday..... Baptism (see top of page) and after we took Jadon and Zion Austin tracting with us. We went for about an hour and the Last house we did we seriouly had to swim through snow about 4 feet deep to get to his door and when we got there he was so amazed that we made it to his door he let us in hahaha.! And he listened to our message. We taught the Second lesson because he was talkin alot about death and where he'd go and so we taught that. He said we could go back another time and he'd pray to know if the Plan Of Salvation is true. He is fithy rich but he said it has never made him Happy :) it was sick but anyways that was the rest of our saturday haha
Sunday we got like 4 people to bring people to church this week and guess what.... Church gets canceled :( freak haha so we went to Weston 1 ward for testimony meeting and I was the first one to get up and bear testimony. We waited like 5 min and no one was gettting up so I did then Elder Dos Santos followed and then people started going up it was sweet. But later that night the Weston 1 Elders got mad at us because it was weird that we went and bore testimony in there ward and it really pissed me off that they got mad at me for Bearing Testimony but Im over it now hah I guess I just dont really understand the other two missionaries I live with but :) Im happy and now here I am haha it was a good week of the most part. The work is good the drama is lame but oh well. Oh and the GREENBAY PACKERS WON hahaha of course they would the year im on my mission. But im wearing my brett farve jersey right now haha suck it massachusettes. Well I love you all and keep up the good work. I promise I will too :)
