I
started the week in Slidell with Elder Dobosz. He is an awesome guy, he
can quote the whole kung fu panda movie from memory so I was pretty
impressed with that! Haha We did have some good success together. We
were able to set one of their investigators with a baptismal date and
also go out with a member to see another one of their investigators. It
was pretty fun, especially since Elder Dobosz knows Spanish and we saw a
lot of spanish people. I could barely understand them with my little
bit of High School Spanish that I took, but it still went good. While
tracting, we also came in contact with this HUGE pig that lives in this
one neighborhood. It was really funny because it came out of nowhere, I
guess it's too fast and it's just a wild pig that the cops can't catch.
So those were some of the fun highlights of our exchange. :)
"The
Sqaud", or better known as B______, K_____ and A____, are all doing
so well. They are definitely getting baptized at the end of this month.
We wrapped up the commandments with them, talking about tithing and
fasting. My favorite lesson by far was probably the one yesterday where
we talking about temples. I didn't realize how much I missed the temple
till I started thinking about it and talking about it with them. They
want to go there someday, it was a spirit-filled lesson. I find great
strength and comfort in knowing my family can be together forever. It
saddens me to know others don't know this, but I am here in Miss'ippi
telling families they can be together forever. They loved Stake
conference as well. They are just amazing, no words can describe how
happy I am to be their friends, teaching them the Gospel and helping
them come closer to our Father in Heaven.
J____
is the bomb, he is such a funny guy. He got interviewed this past week
for baptism, he is going to get baptized this coming Saturday, so that
is pretty exciting! He is really happy to finally be ready for baptism. I
am happy for him too, it's been a long journey and a lot sacrifice but
he is finally there! He enjoyed Stake Conference as well, he told us
that he saw Halo's and light coming from the speakers and the choir. He
is so great, I can't wait for his baptism! :)
We
are currently working on finding more investigators to be baptized in
the coming months, we want to keep the train ah'rollin. I am praying we
do this next week, I know we can find them. Elder Crisp and I are really
doing well together and it's so great to see all the success we are
having. A funny story from this past week was when this older lady was
getting baptized. It was the Sister's investigator and I had interviewed
her previously this past week. When we went to her baptism on Saturday,
she called us over to her to see her. Being way shorter than us, she
pulled us down to her height and kissed us both on the cheek. Everyone
was laughing so hard, it was so funny. Probably the only time on my
mission I will get a kiss, haha :)

Conference and Stake conference was good this past week. We learned a
lot about the Holy Ghost and Faith. Elder Crisp and I got to sing in the
choir for stake conference so that was awesome! Both were great meeting
and made the week even better!
I hope y'all
have a great week! The font is being filled this weekend, what more
could I ask for? Nothing, I am so happy! Waveland is the best and y'all
are the best! I love and miss all y'all, keep on smiling. :) Just
another day in Paradise....
Love,
Elder Mason Rankin :)
