For the Last Six Weeks...

Hello Everybody! This week has been crazy, over here in Maryland! It's been a lot warmer than it has been as of late, but what's really crazy is that I’m being transferred to my last area in the mission! For the last 6 weeks, I will be in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania! It's pretty crazy! It feels like I've been over in that area a lot, but I'm grateful for the opportunity that I will have to visit Carlisle, my very first area, for a day. I'm very excited to see all of my recent converts!

Things have been going really well with our investigators. The Columbia 2 Sisters had a baptism last Saturday and we had our investigator, Alexander, come! He loved it and we committed him to pray about a date to be baptized.  As he was watching the baptism, he felt that he needed to be baptized on March 10^th, which is super exciting! Dolphin is still doing really well. He has some struggles that he is working to overcome, so we are moving the date when he will be baptized, but he still loves the church and really wants to be baptized soon! 

Elder Haynie and I have been talking a lot lately about these successes that we have seen with both Dolphin and Alex.  We did not find them through our own efforts. We challenged our whole zone to study the importance of remembering that this is the Lord’s work! It's His work "to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man".  All that He requires of us, is to keep His commandments and exercise faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. I know that we are not alone in this great work and that there is more help than we realize. I love my Savior and I am grateful for this opportunity to get to know Him better. I hope all is going well for everyone! Thank you again for your love and support!

Every morning we have three kittens that come to our porch and they play around. 

It's been really fun to see all of them!

Preparation Day!

We had a big lunch today!

We did a really fun missionary relay race!

I'm Doing Pretty Good!

Hello Everyone!  I'm doing pretty good this week! It's been pretty snowy over here! Which is crazy, because we had one day where it was 65 degrees and then 2 days later it snowed 2 inches! All of these temperature changes have given me a cold.

This has been a pretty busy week for our investigators. A lot of them have had different issues come up, such as changing work schedules or illness, which has made it tricky to get in with them.  Alex is doing really well, though! He has been reading and praying on his own and has also decided to pray about a date to be baptized! He even made it to a youth night that our church held, and he loved it! So, it's been great to see him! Dolphin has had a really busy week, so we haven't met with him. However, he was able to make it to church on Sunday and he even brought his wife, Joy! It was so cool to see all of the members reach out to them. We are planning on seeing Dolphin tonight, as well, so it should be good!

I don’t have time to write more, I’ll try to do better next week. Hope you have a great week! 

Old Ellicott City, which is in our area.  It's pretty cool!

This is our backyard! It looked really cool!

We went to Panda Express.  Found a funny fortune!
