Elder Austin Ainsworth: It's Been a Good Problem to Have!

Hello Everyone! Things have been going well in the Amish country. We are planning on going to an all-you-can-eat Amish buffet in a few weeks, so I'm super excited for it! The weather has been pretty hot and humid, but for the most part this summer has been really mild compared to the heat that was last year.

One of the coolest things that happened this week was that Beth, our investigator, was baptized! Our Ward Mission Leader was running late, but he was able to baptize her. It was a neat experience! Since I have been here, our investigator pool has been lacking. This is mostly because all of the investigators have been getting baptized, so it's been a good problem to have.

What amazes me and what has been my favorite part of being here, is the ward! The ward is so funny and really great! I love how welcoming they have been and the friendships that I have been able to form.

We had zone conference last week and it was neat to see some of the missionaries that serve around me! They gave a cool message and really focused on building our faith. We also had a crazy experience this week, when we got locked out of our apartment. After coming home from dinner with a family, we left our car with a dealership (because our car literally died that day). We accidentally left the home key on the key ring. So, we ended up calling lots of people and at 11:00pm, we finally got a ride from the Litiz Elders. We stayed overnight at their apartment and I slept on the floor. It was a fun experience. Hopefully, you won’t get locked out this week! Have a great week!
