The mission with the help of the wards and branchs had a campaign to find, teach and baptize. This week many baptism services were held. We attended 2 services. Three from our branch were baptiized (2 at a Stake service Tue. night and another last night in the ward) They were confirmed today.
The Stake service was held Tue. night. Every ward was represented and we took turns going to the font to witness the baptisms. We had attended a stake family night the previous Friday where we met many of those being baptized. At the family night the Mission Pres. and Stake Pres. both spoke. Last Sunday we visited the home of one of the young ladies who was baptized this week. It was nice that we had become acquainted with them. More than just at church. Last night the ward had another baptismal service for a young man who wasn't at the Stake service.
The Mission President called the finding activity with the members (La Siembra --the sowing) and last Tues. night's meeting the La Nevada (the snowfall). He said that there were more convert baptisms that night than any time in the last 10 years in the mission. We will find out the total tomorrow. The mission has been averaging about 80 converts a month but are headed for 155 this month.
Total was 151 second highest monthly total in 10 years. Everyone is excited.
How exciting!!
