Astabula, week 11



Hello Family!
So this week has been a big one, sorry for not emailing yesterday, the Library was closed because of the weather. we had a huge storm come in on Sunday! 
Monday was a snow day but other than that all is well and its still freezing.
So now for the big news. This Saturday and Sunday we had 5 people Baptized and Confirmed. Four of them were people my Companion and I were working with. Their names are Shonda (22), Christina (39), Kenneth (21) and Marcus (10). It was so awesome to see them baptized after a while of teaching them. We had a lot of hard things come up, but they over came them, so this could happen. Ah there are so many awesome stories I wanna tell about each of these people, but I don't have anytime! It was is cool because the ward I am in hasn't had a baptism in like year-2 years, and to have 5 in one day was amazing!
I had the privilege of baptizing Shonda, and then I Confirmed Ken and Chris. So yeah this week was a big week for the Ashtabula Ward! so now we have to go find more people to teach and baptize! Our main goal now is to get these people to the temple. We are getting them to do Family history so they can take a name to the temple this March super excited for them for that!
um idk what else happened this week, but I will send pictures of the baptism. 
It was so awesome. The church is true and this Gospel is amazing and the atonement of Christ can truly change people. Man I love being a missionary. 
Love and miss you all take care!
