JOHNSON IN WISCONSIN

Last week was a good one. We got 3 people this week to commit to bapsism!! Malina, the subway girl, wants to be baptized. Were not sure when or where (its a long story) but she has set a goal for herself to be baptized and thats what counts. Carly, she is roomates with a girl in the ward named Bethany,. We taught her for the third time last week and she said that she has really felt the spirit as she reads the BOM. We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ to her and at the end i asked her if she would like to be baptized. She looked at me and said "Well, im not ready yet, but yes i want to be baptized". Thats was so good to hear. We gotta still take baby steps with her but we have the date set for Jan 21 as she goes home downstate (that means lower michigan) for a month between semesters so we gotta wait till she gets back. We visited the Bertram's agan. Kim still wants to baptize his wife Amber but they have only come to church once in the last month, so were taking baby steps with them too. Ill get transferrred before any of them get in the water but i look forward to pray for them durinf district meetings in the comign months when they are baptized. At each district meeting (which i conduct now as the DL) we have a speacial prayer for all the people being baptized that week in the mission so i hope to see thier names on the list in the next few months! Jon is doing great. He passed the sacrament for the first time yesterday and let me tell ya, seeing someone you taught and baptized prgress in the gospel as well as he has is the most fulfilling feeling there is, it totally makes coming on a mission so worth all the time and sacrafice. It has beem such a blessing and good experience for me that even without baptisms it would still be worth it but baptisms are the icing on the cake. Work is good. Thursday will be fun. Gonna play football in the morning and then going to the Raymonds in Saywer for the day. Gonna eat lots of food, watch some football and Nacko Libre. It will be a fun day. We have christmas zone confrnce in two weeks and then christmas in a month so theres a lot of fun in store here in the mission. Its good to get holidays and events to throw in the mix with our everday missionary life routine. HAPPY THANSGIVING 2006, ill be home to eat turkey with ya'll in 2007.
