Dear Family,

This week was crazy. Lots of ups and downs. A bigger campus equals more people, which also equals more rejection. But hey if the Savior could do it, we certainly can do it! We are looking for those who are ready and prepared!

We are teaching G. He is from Nepal. He has no Christian background and never had been to a church until Sunday! He is great! So open, and really wants to know about his Savior. We are preparing him for baptism on the 8th.

We are working with C. She is from New York, and plays soccer here at Tech! She is catholic, but is willing to find out if this is true. We are preparing her for baptism on the 15th.

We are working with a lot of less actives. I am realizing how crucial this time in life is. My age is really the age where you make huge decisions that affect the rest of your life! I am so grateful during college my testimony was strengthened and I chose to follow the path of my Savior. I am gaining great friendships with many of the members. Especially some of the recent converts! They blow my mind! How amazing they are, how strong their testimonies are, especially with some who's family have disowned them. 

We got to teach S! The guy i knocked into a year ago. It was great! He has a lot of questions, but they are sincere and he really is just seeking truth. With time I know he can receive his answer.

We also received a referral from another mission. T has been taught all the missionary lessons and is pretty much ready for baptism. He just moved here and in fact we are meeting with him right after we email, so I am way excited to meet him! He is solid, so I feel fortunate the Lord is letting us have the opportunity to teach him before his baptism. We are planning to have his on the 8th as well.

This work is incredible. Its the hardest/most re rewarding thing I could have ever done!! Love you all! Have a great week!
