I have now been in the mission field 2 weeks and let me tell you, the second week is actually better than the first week. The first week you're kinda just confused all the time but this week I'm actually getting adjusted to everything so it was much better.
Last Tuesday I had my 1st district meeting. My district leader's name is Elder Allen and he's from England so he's got a great accent. We talked about Christlike attributes and how we develop them. We also talked about some of the people we're working with. It really is incredible how prepared some people are to hear the gospel.
I had exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders as well. I joined Sister Tubongbanua in Stretford and it was really good. We talked a lot about member missionary work and how to get members involved. When we get referrals from the members in the ward, they are more likely to have fellowshipper at the lesson and to progress as an investigator. So we're working on getting members more involved.
Also something really exciting happened: I had my 1st baptism. Sister Smith had already been working with her long before I came so I didn't really do that much. Her name is Janice and she is just incredible. Her son was baptized in Ireland about 2 years ago. She was already living a lot of the standards, which is really good. She was baptized Sunday morning before church and confirmed during sacrament meeting. It was so exciting and I hope I have many more before the end of this year and a half.
That's all for this week! I love this work and I can't wait to tell you more next week.
