Another Baptism

Hello family!! It was so nice to read your e mails you wrote me. Thank you so much for giving me an update on your life and everything you have been up to. I love reading them so much. It is so nice to hear from my family. I really miss you all so much and love each one of you. I cant focus on the letters or thinking about you to much because I start getting home sick and stuff. But I'm okay, I'm doing great and loving my mission so much. So don't stop sending emails because I love reading them.

Well a quick overview of my week...My week was really really good. We focused a lot of Koutison! He was doing so good, and YES this Saturday Jan 23 he was baptized! It was incredible. I felt the spirit so strong...Bro Hupi baptized him. We wanted a member to baptize him because we leave eventually and the members stay. Well Koutison said he has never been happier and he felt so clean. When he gave him the Holy Ghost on Sunday it was amazing. I felt the spirit so strong. This really is life changing work I'm doing. It is absolutely incredible to see someone accept the gospel in their life and be baptized. I love the feeling. Well we have had a ton of lessons this week. A lot of our investigators are progressing. It is awesome. Oh yeah me and Elder Sessions are moving into a flat (apartment) in our area. Its a really nice one. I'm excited to move. We probably will sometime next week or something. We have to clean this one we are in first. Well we have an apostle coming to our mission this Friday. I'm excited, we will be traveling up to Auckland. It is going to be so cool.

I'm really glad that everyone is OK and doing well. I'm also glad that it is snowing there so you guys can go snowboarding! Yes, it has rained a ton more lately here. One night I thought it was going to flood. It was a huge storm and the lightning woke us up because it was so loud. Me and Elder Sessions are getting along pretty good. We have our moments and stuff but its all good. I'm sorry I haven't sent anymore pictures. I takes forever to send them . I'm thinking about maybe just printing them out and them sending them to you in a letter or something...but we will see. Well I'm really glad you felt the spirit while reading my testimony, it really has strengthened so much. I've learned so much already and have grown a lot in the gospel. I hope all is well with the family. I'm so glad you are receiving blessings from God, I know He will continue to bless you more.

Well tell grandma and grandpa (both sets) I love them so much and am going to write them a letter. Tell all my friends (well any of them if you can) that I miss them and love them, and cousins and everything, I'm just so busy. Thanks for everything. I can feel your prayers! Have a great week. I miss you and pray for you every night. Your the best! Love you.
