Navajo Code 10/14

Yaa Teeh!
 
       So on Monday I finally filled up my camera memory card!!! We also got to see one of our investigators who are preparing for baptism with. It was also the last night that I was with Elder Deakin.
 
       Tuesday I got to pick up my new companion, Elder Reeder, 22 from Morgan UT. He's been out for 3 months and we are having a great time. That day we got a voice mail that was just a phone ringing. That was really interesting. We also had a really spiritual lesson on repentance with a less active who is trying to get off alcohol. It's so amazing when you get to talk about the atonement! We also got a call from someone we had dropped about 2 weeks ago and we went and saw him and he committed to be baptized!
 
       Wednesday we got to go tracking. E. Reeder is really good around dogs, me... not so much. :) He did say something that really hit me though. If you are feeling fear, you can't feel faith. That was powerful! Later that day we had a lesson with us, an investigator, and 4 members. That's the biggest member preseant lesson EVER!!! I also got to hold my very first baptismal interview that night. It is so cool to see and feel the spirit work through you and tell you if they are ready to be baptized!
 
       Thursday we went out with a member and we went and saw one of his old friends. The member we went with was/is the Air Force, the person we went and saw was in the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!!!!!!! Ya we got along pretty well. :) Although we didn't get to talk very much because they hadn't seen each other in a very long time.
 
       Friday during studies we got a call from President Batt... Oh boy. He talked to me and told me that my Endorsment for BYU was in. (Chris, I'm still working on the essay's. Essay's and I don't get along really well.) Then we got to go out tracking and we ran into someone that moved from Mt. Pleasent 10 years ago. This lady, L.D., new Amber B! Crazy stuff! She worked at the schools there! Later that day we went and taught one of our recent converts. The 9 year old gave the prayer during which he said, "Thank you for the new Chipman". Apperently he had been calling the missionaries Chipman. :) LOL. Then after the lesson we played tag with him. I totally slipped and have a big mud stain on my pants now because of it. :) But it was totally worth it. I still got away. :)
 
       Saturday we went tracking and a guy came up to us and tried to sell us a 60 dollar water bottle. He had me do this flexability test with out holding the bottle and then with holding it. He said I went farther the second time because the bottle had "energy".... In reality I didn't go farther... at all. :)
 
       So on Sunday I got to sing in an actual choir again! The Bloomfield Stake is hosting a community envolved, Handel's "Messiah". That is some hardish but fun music! I love singing in choirs!
 
       I got to run. Thanks for all the support! Until next time, Hagonet!
