Isaquah / Tiger Mtn Week 5

hey everyone!

this last week has been fantstic! its been insane but good. probably one of the most stressfull weeks of my life and after this week i dont expect to come home with any hair! but it was great!

well we found two new investigators this week who are awesome we havent found any new in a while so its great to actually find people! we also had the baptism of laly, lorenzo, and jj saturday! it was such a good service, they really are a special family. e. aiken baptized them all and i confirmed them all on sunday which was such a neat excerience. the ward was pretty excited because its not very often you confirm that many people in one sacrament. getting their baptism service ready though was insane e aiken and i had a giant pannic attack! we had the building reserved for 1pm and we got there to start filling the faunt and there was a giant ward that had the whole building and were having a huge temple day and bbq! they had classes in everyroom and we were scared that we werent going to be able to have the service! but we started filling the faunt anyway and just started praying. but by 12 30 they were out of the room so it worked out great! it was scary but good. it was such a great service there the spirit was so strong and we had a great turn out from the ward. our stake president and president larkin even came it was a good day.

we had a great talk with our stake president on saturday too. last month our ward did a 40 day fast for missionary work. he came and talked to us about that. he told us some things that i didnt realize that i thought were awesome and really show the power of fasting. but pres johnson had a goal for every ward to baptise 6 people this year. and with in those 40 days of fasting our ward accomplished our goal of 6 baptism! it really shows the effects of a sincere fast. it has been a good last month because of it we have seen so much sucess! i just thought that was really neat.

well i hope everything is going great there and you have a great week!

love you
