Come and Fear Not

Alma 7:15- Yea, I say unto you come and fear not, and lay aside every sin, which easily doth beset you, which doth bind you down to destruction, yea, come and go forth, and show unto your God that ye are willing to repent of your sins and enter into a covenant with him to keep his commandments, and witness it unto him this day by going into the waters of baptism.

Hey everyone, this past couple of weeks have been great! It's been busy with teaching, doing service, a baseball game, and baptisms.

We had the wonderful opportunity to baptize two of our investigators that we had been teaching for a few weeks now. Their names are Sunshine and Breana. We found Sunshine and Breana a few Saturday's ago street contacting. We stopped by and we started teaching them. The mom (Sunshine) said that she has met missionaries in the past before but never really took it seriously. Well we went over pretty much every single day teaching them and helping them find the truth. Breana(9 years old) is a very energetic loving girl. Sunshine is Breanas grandmother and has raised her since she was a child. It has been such a privilege to become Breanas Big Brothers and Sunshine sons haha, they told me and elder Tlustek that we are now part of the Lambert family. It was so awesome to get them baptized, it has been a long process. Sunshine has gone through 4 or 5 sets of Elder's/Sisters and we were so happy we were able to help her and Breana enter into the waters of baptism and receive the Holy Ghost! And right now we are working with Sunshine to get to the temple and she is excited to do family history as well!

On Friday we got to go to a Minor League baseball game in Ogden! 3 or 4 weeks ago we had a member of the church pull over and tell us that he works for the Ogden Raptors Baseball team ( Los Angeles Dodgers farm team) and we could go to a game anytime we want and bring as many people as we want. We had the opportunity to bring one of our Investigators (Hayden 12) who is planning on getting baptized on the 23rd of September. It was great because we have really good recent convert boys his age that went with us and helped fellowship him and by him getting comfortable with the boys he is gotten excited to go to church and spend time learning more. The game was awesome. The Raptors were down 7-3 going into the bottom of the 9th inning and they ended up coming back and winning on a walk off hit.

We also had the oppurnity to do some service this week in West Point at a farm. We dug holes for fence post, Rewired fences, and cleaned up around the farm. It reminded me a lot of home back in Nebraska!

Anyways I miss all you guys and hope you have a good week !
