Baptism

Hey everyone, It has been a wonderful week in Morgan. A lot of great things has happened this past week. To be honest, I am LOVING my time as a missionary. I never want to finish my mission or go home. Everything is perfect right now. I love it. 

Elder Aston and I had the best 4th of July ever! We were able to witness Junior and Alazae follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized by someone holding the Priesthood of God. It was an incredible baptismal service. They both have came a long way. I heard a little bit about all of the chaos that was going on earlier and it was incredible to realize how far they came. They are incredible kids and deserve great things. I am so happy for them. 

A few days ago, I was exchanges with Elder Simbeck (Yes, I served with him when I was in Clinton) and we went over to the Fairbourns. It went super well. We were able to find out the real concern to what's holding back Brother Fairbourn. It was an incredible lesson. The kids are ready. All we need to do is to resolve Brother Fairbourn's concern; then we're golden. Elder Aston and I know exactly what we need to do. To be honest, I am looking forward to it. 

Last night, we stopped by the Stark's bishop and he informed us that the mother got her Temple Recommend. How awesome is that!!!!! Courtt and Chad's ordination is on hold because the Bishop wants to see if Brother Stark will try to become worthy to ordain Courtt and Chad. We will have to see what happens. 

I am so thrilled for tonight because we have a lesson with Kylee tonight. I am praying that it will go through. Elder Aston and I talked to her grandmother and she mentioned to us that she is so excited to be baptized. It is just the father that is holding her back because he is putting the whole baptism thing on the side. 

We met with Maddie's friend and he told us awesome things about Maddie. He told us that Maddie is very excited to learn about the Church. She has been texting him nonstop with questions about the Church. He thinks that she will be a golden investigators. I am praying that her lesson (happening on Friday) will go through. I am so pumped to start teaching her. 

Elder Aston and I found two teenagers to start teaching: Dallas and Dillon. They both are brothers and are not members of the church. Dallas and Dillon has a friend, Zach, who is very active in the church and invited them both to meet with us. I am so excited for it. It will be awesome! 

Last Thursday, Elder Aston and I were able to meet President Jaggi. He is going to be an awesome Mission President. He has a family of 4 kids, who are under the age of 18 and are living with him. They will be like little siblings so that will be cool! He has a huge testimony of Jesus Christ and it was amazing to hear his testimony. He really does love the Savior. He also has a strong testimony of the Gospel. 

I know that the Gospel is true and Jesus is the Christ. His path is only path that will lead to the Celestial Kingdom. I know that He lives!

Great things are happening right now in Morgan. I am so happy with the way everything is going. :) I love you all so much and I will see you all soon. Enjoy Arizona for me! Stay strong! :) Love, Elder McGrath
