Baptist Pastor to Mormon Priest

Crazy week here in the FTM
Taught a lot of lessons and had a lot of success.  
I guess the main thing we did besides teaching was a ton of service.  Friday we spent a good chunk of the day helping one of our investigators move out of their trailer into a new apartment.  Super glad they moved cause that trailer was so disgusting.
Saturday we were able to have Harry Mitchell get baptized!  So awesome and Sunday he got confirmed and became a priest in the Aaronic Priesthood!  He has been changed from a Baptist pastor to a Mormon priest!  He also got his younger brother, who is a pastor for the baptist church where he was before, to start teaching from the book of mormon.  That church is now a nondenominational church hahaha.  The younger brother preached a whole sermon last week just from the Book of Mormon.   We are getting churches converted over here!
So here is a little more on Saturday.  After the baptism I looked at my bike and found I had a flat tire so we had to walk from the church home.  Along the way we got stopped by the investigator that we helped move out the other day so we went over and helped them move things into their new apartment.  Then another one of our investigators asked us while we were moving the first people in to come and help him move out.  So right after moving in we turned around and helped him move out.  He now lives in his car by our apartment complex until Thursday when he can move into a new apartment.  Interesting situation but we are trying to help him just as Christ would and it has turned into a wonderful experience for Elder Millard and myself.
Just want to leave you with a wonderful thought.  Friday and Saturday we had dinner with different members and both fed us Brinner!  Completely different brinners too.  hahahaha Best dinner appointments ever!



​There are two types of people who work at the family history class.   Those who help people do it and those who are taking selfies about it.  I, I took the path less traveled and it made little difference in the end.  But now we have documentation of it.​

Harry's baptism​. The one on the end is Dan.
