INFLUX of MISSIONARIES! - October 23, 2012

Hello :)

I did get the package this week and everything was great :) thank you! And I got stamps and envelopes with that money on my card. Tell Aunty Liana I say thank you for grabbing those shoes for me :)

Sounds like Stockman had a pretty great muddy soccer game haha!

So guess what!? A general authority told President Barry that he needs to prepare to have 250 missionaries in our mission. We currently have 140ish. President Barry said we should start seeing the effects of it in January. WOW! There are 58,000 missionaries right now. And the prediction is that we will have 90,000! That is incredible! I am so excited to see the jump!

President Barry is really making a push to improve because of the number of missionaries coming in, we can set a great example for them. If they follow our example, we will have hundreds of phenomenal missionaries. So it is a pretty exciting time to be a missionary.

For all of our investigators. They are doing well and all progressing along. We should have 2 baptisms this weekend :). We had a great experience this last week with some of our investigators. They had a problem with the Word of Wisdom, specifically with the Word of Wisdom. We taught the Word of Wisdom ( that had been taught it a million times). We offered to take all the cigarettes they had so they can quit right now, and we offered to give them a blessing. We did both and they have not smoked to this day :) The power of the priesthood is real. Heavenly Father wants to help everyone overcome their weaknesses and addictions.

So everything is going great! I love you all and I will talk to you next week!

LOVE Elder Wise
