Another week in the Arizona Phoenix Mission and WOW it was a wowzer! I think I went the whole week wearing a suit. It was great, busy, and most definitely exciting. It is going to be a great couple of months.
A couple of weeks ago President gave Elder Miles and I a responsibility to work with some of the zone leaders to put together a calendar that would help investigators see their progress towards baptism. We put a good time in on it and had the opportunity to present it this last week in a Zone Leader Council, Leadership Training, and a Mission-wide Specialized Training. Something I have learned throughout my time as an assistant is that real results won't be seen until a few weeks or months down the road. However the feedback that we were receiving all week has shown that we are headed in the right direction. It looks like May is going to be a dynamite month. This week we were looking at having 43 baptisms with 159 people with a baptismal date for the month. Say what you will, the mission is going to explode!
We also are gearing up for transfers again. Our meeting is tomorrow in which will come some pretty neat changes, none of which I can say until next week. I have felt the spirit very strong during this transfer process and know that what is going to happen is in line with the Lord's will. It is such a powerful experience to see President and Sister Beck at work during transfer week as they make changes in the mission. I've learned a lot by watching them.
On another positive note, we had 4 investigators at Sacrament Meeting including a family we have been working with for a LOOOOOOOONG time. They paid their tithing for the first time EVER after the block. It has been interesting to watch them in their conversion process. Hopefully we will be able to get them baptized soon but first we have some marriage things to take care of. We'll see if we can't get them baptized before the end of the month.
In other news, I have had the worst allergies of my life this past week. I don't know what it is about this spring but I just haven't been able to stop sneezing! Luckily antihistamines are cheap as well as saline solution but still, it hasn't been a fun experience.
Well, I understand that it is a little short but there isn't a lot to report on. This will be a great week filled with excellent opportunities that I will fill you in on everything next week. Have an excellent week and I will talk to you all again soon!
Love,
Elder Klemme
