Kia Ora, hope the day is going fairly well. Just starting out today and we have had a big DLC to double baptisms! Hooray, I feel kinda bad not agreeing with all of these goals and follow ups that we make. I think we are missing conversions by focusing on baptizing so much, but that is also what we are supposed to be doing. So we push it along and I try to keep it fun and positive and enthusiastic, or something like that.

As for the week, on trade-off with Elder Fermanis from Opotoki my companion set Danetza!! She is set for 12th of July. Should be fun, but we are hoping that we can work out some concerns and help her be baptized in June. We feel that she could definitely be ready for June. Then I had another Trade-off with Elder Taunganga, who is an egg, we found some less-actives and a crazy man! Not crazy but he says that he has evidence that when Moses parted the Red Sea, Mount Vesuvius also erupted and destroyed Pompeii. I don't think the time frame is too correct there, but I'm not for sure with it. We'll see, we have an appointment with him on Thursday.

Next our favourite Atheist investigator is being even more stubborn then usual and doesn't believe in free agency because you can scan someone's brain before they answer a question that was asked and "know" what they are going to say. That doesn't defeat agency thouigh, or at least in my mind it doesn't. Then we spent some time on his Telescope looking at the stars. We found what could be Saturn but we weren't too sure; there was a weird black stripe that was vertical on it.

A less-active, Elliot, came to church for the first time in Months! He really liked it except he took off early. His older brother, Raymond, is preparing for a mission and that may be what is pushing him back to church. A different less-active didn't come to church, but he did give us like 4 kg of mince meat. Another less-active did come to church, but her son doesn't like us because we missed our appointment with them. He really doesn't like us, but I think I will give him a chocolate bar on Wednesday and that should put us in the all good.

About it for the week, have a good one. Try not to sell all, all of my stuff.
