This week was alittle lame cuz our war mission leader kept getting at us for different things... all of which were not true. But still, He said we had to bap. in long sleeves if not it wasnt going to count and that we didnt have permission to give people blessings if the bishop wasnt there with us. And well yeah, you catch the drift. Anyways when we tried to explain to him the doctine he said, Elders dont fight about it just accept it..... Anyways I may or maynot have tore him a new one and told him to read his manuals so that he wasnt ignorant and so that the leaders of the church couldnt fool him..... It went..... Well..... I think haha.
Then this morning we got more good news. Last night Elder Johnson of the 70 came to TJ to talk to the mission pres and the stake pres's of the area well he gave it to them good there, and told them that the church here isnt progressing and that he will be talking to SLC to have the halt the construction of the temple, Last year we had 1300 bap. here and a growth of 100 people in the attendence in the church. So basically he said we are well..... in trouble here..... So he changed the standard for bap. here. Before ever investigator needed 2 weeks in church to get bap. now they will need 5..... Wow. There went all our bap. the bap rate in the mission will go down.... drastically. But its all good. The retention will be better. And its the lords work and he was inspired in his decisiones so its alright.
Other then that, life is super good here. We had a zone conference this week, that was super cool, and the spirit was there super strong, the pres and his wife talked about obedience... we talked about working and training the members and the ward council... It went well. Sunday we taught the ward council, the elders qourem and rel. soc. We are going to share some messages with the youth this week, and train the ward council and the ward mission lider this week again.
Anyways super excited about life... love you all tons....
