16 people baptized this week!


 

 

Mom,

ya this week was o bisho mom! the zone baptized 16 people with 7 sets of companions, more baptisms then elders this week! that ties the record for baptisms in one week in our mission, we almost broke it also! and we won the zone competition that our mission was having, basically were the top dogz right now! our zone is called the dirty dogz though haha


   sometimes even i struggle to see how i seem to have success in the mission cause everything that everyone thinks a missionary is our should be, im not and i encourage my zone to be that way also. i guess it works cause the 2nd place record for baptisms in a zone in one month in our mission is 27 and we have 23 right now with 2 more weeks to go so we will break that record. the first place record is still 47 from when we were in apucarana, dont know if ive got the faith to ever hit that again ha ha. Im not the most reverent or spiritual elder in the world but somehow the Lord has found out how to use me. i dont know why the Lord blesses me so much, He must love me! :D  elder luchmun is a great comp. also, very supportive and organized. were having a lot of success here and looks like the mission will break our old record for baptisms this month. 
 

        transfers arent for another two weeks, i think on the 30th of setember. also im glad that elder gardner is going to stay on his mission for another transfer, more baptisms. also im the lone wolf and i get set apart alone. howl.

       ever since we hit the less then ten weeks mark weve been singing that song the final countdown around the house. oddly enough elder zioli is more american then most americans and he also knows this song.

      when elder petersen says that he wants the next assistant to be elder B hes talking about this other miss in our mish named elder bailey. the ground quakes from beneath his feet. hes some elder from rocklin that baptizes anything, animals, inanimate objects, people, etc.. i hope he gets called also cause then he will live with us. 

     bruno already has a preach my gospel, just the scriptures and then fill the rest up with candy and thats it, we just wanna give him a present before elder zioli goes home which is in two weeks, so send it fast please! its pretty essential that you send it this week asap. no i didnt get the packages yet, but theyll probably come this week. 

     love you mom, i dont know why but im flying to detroit and everyone else from my group is going to atlanta.

Dad,

i got the travel itinerary today also, man that came fast huh haha. the zone baptized 16 people this week, that ties the record for most baptisms by a zone in one week, were all very excited about that, we bought 3 pizzas to celebrate.  when does ali leave and where is bailey going on his mission? im feeling good, ive got a lot of health right now so i feel really good about that. my knee is fine and im not having almost any sinus problems. i had a temple recommend interview cause mine expired, hes a really intense guy when he wants to be, but most of the time he jokes around alot but in the interview he got pretty intense and gave me some words of wisdom ill take with me everywhere i go. hes a very inspired man, i just wish i could work closer and longer with him but 2 more months will have to do. love ya dad! - Elder Bennett
