June 1, 2009

I have some surprising news... I'm getting transferred to Tsaneen, its up in the north east, kind of by Krugur. I was very surprised that I was going. Everyone thought that I would stay. I guess that the place is somewhere that everyone wants to go. They say it is like a jungle up here.
Well our family was confirmed yesterday. I got to confirm the 2 kids. I never thought I would do so much. As well as the confirmations I also gave two blessings. There is an overwhelming spirit when it comes to missionary work. I don't know if you can remember it when you where on yours, but I feel it all the time.
Well I am very excited to go to my new area. My new companion is going to be Elder Kogo, he is from Kenya.
Well I love you Dad stay strong. Faith and Honor

Yesterday was the baptism. It was so cool. It was the best day that I have had on my mission so far. After wards they all bore there testimonies. I cried when the father bore his. I haven't felt the spirit that strong in a long time. After that the closing hymn was "I believe in Christ". I cried during that whole song too. It was a pretty amazing day.

There is a scripture that kind of puts how I feel. Maybe you know it... D and C 18: 13-16. I hope that all my baptisms in the future are that good.
