I have never been this busy. I keep saying that every week but we keep getting more and more busy. We had a baptism this week and it went really well he was supper excited to be baptized. He is an amazing guy and I am grateful that I have had this chance to have an impact on his life. Sisters knocked into him 3 years ago when he was first found and he has met with us off and on from then. He has progressed a lot in the last month and a half that we have been teaching him and I was excited to see him be able to take this step in his life. We still have a lot of people that we are teaching but because we can’t speak to half of them it makes things a little hard. We also have some strong suspicions that there are some preachers going around telling people not to listen to us. We were teaching a lot more people then suddenly in one day a bunch of them just stopped being interested in what we have to share. But we continue to work hard. It is amazing how much is getting done here in Des Moines. The Lord is pouring his blessing out upon us. I love being a missionary and I love this chance that I have to serve and help others. We have a baptism scheduled for this week and next. It is amazing that in my first 9 months I saw little success and never had any one that was really progressing. And now in 3 months we can’t seem to find the4 time to teach all that want to learn more. I keep wondering how much more can happen in such a short period of time but them more just happens. I am excited for this chance that I have to be here and to have a part in blessing the life’s of others here. In less than 3 weeks Elder knight will return home and I will get a new companion. We will have been together for about 4 months. I will admit that is a long time to be with someone. I have learned much from him and I am excited to keep learning. I have learned so much already from my mission. I love being a missionary and I love serving others and helping people come closer to Christ. Thank you to those that have written me. I always appreciate letters. I don’t have much else to add here. It was a super busy week but it was a lot of the same stuff all week. We are anticipating even more work to come in the following weeks and I am excited to have the chance to be a part of all that is happening here. I love you all. Thank you for your faith and prayers.
