19 months March 7,2016

This week we were crazy busy and yesterday I hit 19 months.

Something cool I want to start off with is last week our recent converts got the priesthood and were ordained as priests. Yesterday they got to pass the sacrament. After the sacrament meeting one of them came up to me and gave me a hug and said you've really helped me change a lot. I am a completely new person. Which he is. He used to be into a lot of bad things but he was able to feel the converting power of the gospel. It was such a cool experience. 

This past week we had a lot of meetings. We had Mission Leadership Council, Zone Training Meeting,  Meeting with the Stake President & Mission President & and all of the ward mission leaders in the stake, We also had a doctors appointment for Elder Burke. He has an extreme case of psoriasis on his hands to the point where they are peeling super bad. I feel bad for him because it hurts for him to do anything. This week we also moved back into our apartment. It was finally finished. It was fun staying with other missionaries but 4 missionaries to one bathroom isn't easy. 

We had 3 investigators at church yesterday.One of them we found this week and he told us after church. "what do I have to do to be baptized". He is super solid. So we got some good things cooking right now. should have like 3 or 4 baptisms within the next two months. 

Its a great time to be a missionary.


I hope you all have a wonderful week. 


-Elder Loertscher
