Dear fam, well great week. Vivian was baptized December 3, 2011 at 4:30. What a great day. It feels good to feel success. She is a great lady and will be a strong member for these latter day's. Well I had the pleasure to do the ordinance for Vivian. She asked me to do it. A lot of people came and the other missionaries had helped us out. This ward is awesome they are great fellow-shippers especially to those that are not in the church. Bishop Rose is a stud. He is all about missionary work. He was a great missionary. He set records or he claims haha j/k. He has a very good personality that makes people laugh. My companion and I have asked for a blessing from the Bishop so we can serve him the best way possible. The work is really going down here.(I think down means good) We have 2 more investigators with a date. They are legit bur have a couple minor problems with some things. We are taking care of it though. It is so weird because the time has really picked up down here. I feel like all I do is go to bed because the days go by so quick. We sometimes don't get all the stuff done for the day that we planned but that is a good thing. These past 2 weeks we have received so many referrals from members, other missionaries, and the MTC. We found a couple legit people that have great interest. We are really being blessed it seems like someone always has his hand in the work. Well some fun things this week. We actually went over to Inez's house and had some good mexican food. Inez has a friend that is a great cook. I made the good old salsa thanks to Kendall. They wrote down the recipe. We had a great time. Jim went with us. He is a character. We were late going to the broadcast fireside. We were going 95 in a 40 to get to it. I really enjoyed it. I felt like I was with Doug Holm for a bit. haha. Well I love this new area and time has flown so fast. I'm excited to talk to y'all next week. I might only get 30 minutes to talk but we'll see. So enjoy the holiday's and don't forget Elder Robison!
part of Alli's letter
this has been an awesome time here in Knoxville. We have been
doing more stuff as a district. It's awesome because everyone helps each
other and our baptism rate has went up double. We have been tearing it
up. We finally had a baptism Vivian
Strouk. She was so excited to get baptized. It took alot of work but
definitely worth it. She asked me to baptize her and to tell you the
truth it made my day because she told me I was a big part in it. I tried
not to tear up but the mission makes you soft.
But I think I was a little softy before the mission anyway. We have
been working hard to get 2 baptisms every month so we have 2 more dates
with Gloria and Jeff. Gloria she knows its true but just is kind of busy
especially with her little great grandson he
is autistic.
Well this is a funny story. We were on an exchange last week and I
was with Elder Galaway. We went over to Glorias and the autistic kid looked at galaway and went over and touched his face and called him an
ugly alien. I could not stop laughing. Galaway's
face went bright Red. Galaway is a pretty tight kid though. We've had
some fun. He wants to come and work for my dad while he goes to school
out there. But we will see.
