So, lots of stories this week,
Haha. So all of our converts and
investigators are awesome. We taught a lady this week that thought that Jesus
was baptized into the Catholic church. We broke our record for how many lessons
that we taught this week and one of our investigators already stopped smoking,
just to be baptized! She is awesome! Also, we fasted this week again, and my
testimony of fasting has grown a lot, because it always works. We were then
guided by the Holy Ghost to go to E.’s house and when we got there her sister wanted to
talk to us, she said she liked how E. has changed since she was baptized and
how happy she is, and so she decided to listen to our message now, she already
wants to be baptized! We also have two
little girls that have come to church now and we just have to teach them and
they are in the font! We had 4 people come to church this last Sunday. We are
so close with so many investigators. This is the last push, I gotta get them
baptized before I go! ahhhhahahhaha . E. shared her testimony on Fast Sunday
and that made me very happy. She is a really good convert. I hope I can get all
of these people baptized before I go. I am sad to leave all this success we are
having behind, it has been an amazing week teaching. I am really ending my
mission off like I wanted to.
Anyway, yeah, it has been
nice to visit with my converts also this week and I have been writing thank-you
notes to all of the people in this area who have helped me in any way.
So, this week it is going to
be like 106 degrees! Haha, so I am ready for the snow in Utah, Haha! The
Leadership Conference went all right. The district has to call me now at night
and then I call the zone leaders to report in, so that is a change that they
made. Man, I can`t believe I already have a day set up for my homecoming talk!
I am more nervous for that than anything else!
No Christmas parties here yet
but our missionary Christmas party this year will be held in Formosa. I still need
to buy my “Secret Santa” present for one of the other elders.
That is awesome that you had
the ward Christmas party and that Nash did well in his concert.
I am doing well, just finishing
it off strong. I am tired, but I will make it.
I am so grateful for this
experience of a mission. I can`t believe I did it. It seemed impossible at
first, but it isn`t. I Did It!!!! I am
so excited to see all of you. It feels unreal that I am going home soon! Anyway,
I love you all so much. You are the best mom and dad ever. Thanks for all you
do! Thanks for being such great examples to me! You are the best!
I’ll see you soon!
Chau,
Love,
Elder Nate Pendleton
