Hello again everybody

7.20.2014
 
Today has been another good week. It was mostly straight teaching with
little interruptions. So we had one investigator who has been to
church every week that I have been in Neao because I invited  him
every week so he came with us and he had told me before his dad didn't
want him baptized. But we had been teaching him anyway. Last Tuesday
he came up to me and said "when are you gonna visit my dad? Cuz I
wanna be baptized" and so I was like right now! And we went over and
talked to him and it is amazing what just sitting down with someone
can do to soften their heart. I could tell he was thinking hard about
it then the Holy Ghost must have whispered to him "why not?" so he
gave permission. So we were able to baptize him on Saturday. His name
is Rodrick and he is 13. Soon to be a deacon.

That gives our area 5 baptisms for the transfer and our district 11
baptisms so far. The goal is 20 and we have 2 more planned for this
week. That is really good for our district because before the
transfer, this district had only had like 2 baptisms in two
transfers...so they brought some new guys to the district and our
motto has been "do work and stuff" haha and that is what we have been
trying to do. This is turning out to be one of my favorite transfers
in my mission!

One area is called Kapich inside our area with a less active family
and also some recent converts and investigators. That area is blowing
up. We got like 20 of them to church yesterday, compared to maybe one
or two that usually go. We have been doing lots of service over there
which has been helping I think.

Well, that was about it for this week. It has been raining a lot and
our house has a leak so that is fun. halfway through this 8 week
transfer and one transfer after that we lose 4 elders. So a lot of
changes coming ahead. I love you all, thank you for the love!!

Love, Elder Schroath
