First of all, it's been raining all week! That keeps the heat away. (I'm pretty sure that constant rain has ceased to be news to yous anymore. hahaha)
Second, the zone is doing awesome! Dianella zone has had 5 baptisms this past weekend. We're planning for another one in our ward this weekend, an investigator of the sisters' named Tom, from Thailand. He is so cool. I had the privilege of interviewing him yesterday, in preparation for his baptism. When the sisters began teaching him, he had no knowledge of who Jesus Christ was. Their first lesson focused on Faith in Jesus Christ, and really hit him. He has an amazing testimony now, and is very excited for Saturday.
We just had an amazing ward council, too! We brought up that we need more people to teach. So what's in the plans now is the ward is going to work together with us to fill our days up. We had some really good ideas brought forward, and I'm excited to see what happens in the next few weeks.
We had a great lesson with the Turners this week. We taught them the Law of Chastity. We're working with Edward, who has decided he would like to get married. We also taught his girlfriend today, and she found it interesting as well! We may have another baptismal date soon. But for now, they're postponed until the marriage. :)
Teresa is doing pretty good as well. She came to Myle's baptism on Friday, and was really impressed with it. she's gaining courage, and told us that she feels like she's really ready this time, now that she's seen a baptism.
Well, we've got 5 months left, and Elder Iumalo and I are going to be working really hard to get things moving in this area! I love seeing the gospel in action. Seriously, I can't describe in words what's going on with these families. It has to be seen, and experienced, what changes are going on in their lives.
I love you all! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Daniel Reeder
