How is everybody doing? I don't have a ton of time today, because I had to update my mormon.org profile, and I wrote a really long e-mail to President ----. I can tell you I'm excited for this weekend! Elder Ballard is coming to visit the Texas Houston missions; really he is coming for the Houston South mission but we let the other two come along. :-) I get my humility from my Bapa! ;-) Anyway, so I'm super excited for that, I'll have to let you know some about it next week. For me I've had a pretty rough week, our one investigator that was going to be baptized this month got taken away by her "husband". I'm not really sure if we'll see her again. All of our other investigators dropped us or we had to drop them. So it seems we're starting back at the bottom. Since this is a brand new ward, it's been really hard to get missionary work off the ground. We're still building it up, and the members are great but there is still a lot of work to do and we can't do it all. I've kind of come to a stall in my inexperience I don't know how to handle the situation; that's in part why I'm looking forward to Elder Ballard. I'm sure he will bring some answers to my pondering heart as to the direction I must go.
I want you to know that I truly believe we will get 1,000 baptisms by the end of the year. I know that it wont be easy, but I know that the Lord has already prepared and is setting forth the plan. I'm just blessed to be a part of it. I have to believe that this part of my mission is very important and essential to my ability to play my part in His plan for this mission. I want to thank you for all the prayers and love you offer me. And those who've encouraged me with written words as well. I know that I have not been left alone here, and there is a larger plan I don't see. All is well, just a little rocky. :)
I pray all of you have a most wonderful week! In case you don't remember, I resolved to finish the Book of Mormon five times before the end of the year. I'm currently at Helaman, and hopefully will finish it with in the month. So that I can read it once every two transfers the rest of my mission. How are your resolutions coming? I'd love to hear about your progress and your goals, and you in general!
Love you very much!
Forever,
Sis. Chris.
