Baptisms and such

9/13/10 Monday

Dear Family,
Today was p-day.  Thank you so much for the surprise!  I was amazed! (Me:I have no idea what surprise he's talking about lol)

9/18/10
Dear Family,
I am so sorry I have not written this past week.  We were on exchanges this week on one of the days.  Other than that, we have been very busy. 

Today we had a baptism.  It was for a 9 year old girl named Annie G.  Her family is kind of less active.  We are trying to get them to church.  They wanted her to get baptized but they never come to church.

Tomorrow we are giving a talk.  It is on member missionary work.  I hope it goes well.

I have to go, I have a few more things I need to do for my talk.

Love,
Nathan

Dear Family,
I am going to write the names of the people we have baptized so far:

8/7/10 -    Alexandria Z. age 13
8/19/10 -  Kayden N. age 8.  I did the confirmation
8/27/10 -   Wyatt Clark age 9, I did the baptism
8/28/10 Cahlyn H. age 9
8/29/10 - Jordon L, age 22
9/4/10 Cheyanne S, age 11
9/18/10 Andrea (Annie) G, age 9
9/25/10 Anne C, age 40ish.

Alecandria was my first baptism.  She lives with her aunt and uncle.  Her dad used to be "anti", he is better now.  Her mom is  less active.  Alex is doing great! She gave a talk in church 2 weeks ago.  She acts like she has been a member all her life.

Kayden, age 8
We taught Kaden and his less active mom.  They asked me to do the confirmation.

Wyatt age9
The family is great.  They are less active and love the missionaries.  All of their kids have been taught and baptized by missionaries.

So far, they are still coming to church.

Anyway, they love us and asked me to do the baptism and Elder Harman to do the confirmation.

Cahlyn, age 9

Caylyn's dad is not a member, her mom is less active.  Now her mom is coming every week.

Jordan age 20ish

We found Jordon through his now mother-in-law.  He was dating a member, now they are just back from their honeymoon.

He was ready, he understood everything.  He is great!

Cheyanne, age 11th
Cheyanne has a lot of friends who are members.  Her mom, sister and brother are not.  We hopefully will be teaching them soon.

Annie, age 9

Her family is less active, however they love the missionaries.  They don't really come to church as much as they should.

I am so sorry I have not written much the past few weeks.  This past week has been crazy!  I have been on exchanges 3 times in the 6 days.

We had another baptism on Saturday.  We baptized Anne C.  I sent you the picture.

Today they made some changes in the mission.  Starting on Oct 11th, p-days will be on Wednesday.

Transfers are this Wednesday.  It is kind of exciting. 

I love you all very much.  
Love,
Nathan
