Hey everyone!! This week was awesome!! We had a very powerful zone conference!! I learned so much!! I love President Price so much!! He is such a powerful man!! We talked about the Restoration and you would think by teaching it everyday, you would know everything about it, but guess what... You don’t! My companion and I have been applying the things we learned and it has been great!
Church was wonderful this week! We had 19 investigators at church!! and Plenty whole families came!!! It made me so happy!! I love seeing families come to church together and sitting with each other!! It doesn’t happen as often here as people think it does. We have so many people who are the only members in their families.. That is one reason we are doing everything we can to focus on families!!
Speaking of families! The Gaysue family!! I love that family so much!1 They are so powerful! I have seen a change in all of their lives!! The spirit just resonates with them! You can just feel it when you are with them! The coolest thing, The mom and dads and 3 children will be baptized, their son who is 8 will be baptized as as a child of record and their baby will be blessed!! Then the fathers mom will be studying with missionaries in her home when they reach to the place she is living!! I love seeing this gospel bless people and then they like Father Lehi “desire” to share it with their friends and family!
This week I got a fresh cold, it was tough. so when we had a district council I asked for a blessing! It helped so much! Heavenly Father gave me the strength and support to do HIS work! Funny how that works.. With out His help, we cant do His work! That is something I have come to learn while on mission. This is in no way my work. I am used by Heavenly Father in his work!
So a wonderful thing I learned at Zone conference... Like 2 or 3 Saturday’s ago, our mission as a whole, baptized and confirmed 92 people.... When i heard that I got so happy!! I was so proud of all the missionaries.. We went in and discussed about it.. We, as a mission, learned that when you work with the Members of the church, MIRACLES can happen. That is what happened here. Our last zone conference was focused on working with members and councils. We learned, we applied and things happened. After learned about that our mission got excited and pressed forward. It was really sweet to hear about that miracle that took place in the Liberia Monrovia Mission!
This week was wonderful and special! I love and miss you all!! Work hard and have fun!
Love Elder Baker
