Hello everyone! We had a great week with lots of great miracles!
The first of which was the baptism of our friend Kelly! We have been teaching her for close to a month now, and this week she was finally feeling ready to be baptized. She had lots of questions, and her preparation was super cool. I had the honor of baptizing her. Her mother was baptized several years ago and is beginning to come back to church with us as well. Kelly also has a little brother named Kaio who is 7 years old and is full of energy. They are such a great family, and we have become very close with them. Kelly's baptism was so special, and she already began bonding with the young women in the ward. In fact, the leaders have already helped her get signed up for seminary.
Another highlight was our mission conference. Everyone in the mission (except any companionships feeling sick) went to the chapel of the temple for the conference. It was so cool to see everyone together, and be back in my first area. The theme of the conference was The Restoration. We discussed, had trainings, watched videos, and felt the spirit so strong. I feel very lucky to have been able to participate. One of the best parts was taking a picture of our original CTM group - which has gone from 9 to 5 Elders. They are some great dudes, and we are all finishing our missions together in the next couple of months. What a day that was.
We have been working hard every day. We have some great families we are teaching, and many youth as well. We are hoping for more success coming down the stretch. I am so thankful to be able to finish my mission here.
Love,
Elder Perry
