Hey Everyone!!

 

Well, it's official. I will be staying in South Phoenix for my 7th transfer! I am super excited and am looking forward to working with the ward for a little bit longer. Not only that, but I am training the only assigned new spanish nino to the mission this transfer. My first nino, Elder Giles, is now in another Zone step training and acting as a new district leader and my second born, Elder Neubert is being step-trained by my brother, Elder Chipman. So, some pretty big changes but a lot of awesome opportunity.

 

Also, this last saturday we had our one and only baptism of the month and transfer. The whole weekend was filled with white which was incredible. We had 5 baptisms in the district, 4 of which were in our own ward. It was so amazing. Our baptism was very well attended and the program, service, everything was very close to the best baptism I have ever attended. I was very proud of our ward for doing such a good job. The spirit was very strong and it was a great way to end of the transfer.

 

In other news....well, I guess that is all my news! :) I realize that this is a bit shorter this week. I apologize. We weren't able to e-mail on Monday because of the Holiday and we have a ton of appointments to be getting to so we only had a small amount of time to write. But I will be sending another e-mail on Monday so I'll be a little more in depth I promise :D. Enjoy the pictures, have a great week. Love you all and I'll talk to you on Monday!! :D

 

 

"The Miracle Man": The baptism of Jacinto Valle. He just fell into our teaching pool about a couple of weeks ago. He's already finished The Book of Mormon, read the whole Gospel Principles book, and is just incredible. His baptism was amazing and the Spirit dwelt very strong there.

 

"Baby Klemme #3": This is my new companion (and 3rd kid) Elder Mortensen. He is from Monterrey California and is just fired up for the work. I'm looking forward to working with him for the next 6 weeks!!
