Kakata is Great

Family and Friends
Hey everyone had a great week been sunny and have had two big rain
storms, its nice I love the rain and it really cools things off plus
all the dead plants magically come to life and get super green. We
achieved our goal in member presents this week, it was great to get our
members out working with us, they become better in the Gospel
knowledge and better missionaries.  I was looking at our branch on
Sunday, the people we have inside are branch builders, almost all the
youth are future missionaries and we have a lot of adults. Almost all of them
know how to teach and they have a family, which is great cause they will
help the branch get to where it needs to be when we get a stake here.
Probably at the end of the Year. We also had a branch Fireside, it
turned out really well, we were able t meet some high ranking
officials that are now investigating the Church. It will be good to
get the public to view the church this way so that people will know
the only True Church. We are still working for a big baptism day on
the 26th of April, one investigator has Gotten her marriage stuff all
figured out and is ready to be baptized just need to get an interview done.
Also for 11 other people I hope they all make it in their interview at
the end of this week. I know if they are ready they will pass the
interview and will be able to make that covenant with God the Eternal
Father and his son Jesus Christ. We had a lot of fun teaching people
this week, and are looking forward to this coming week.  Mom zone
meeting was great, also I went on Exchange with Elder Skouson it was
nice to teach with another white guy but I felt weird at the same time
everyone looked at us weird all day hahaha. We have 33 people with
baptismal dates, which is great! Mom I got my new Scriptures,thank you
so much, I am really scared to even write in them, I will get over it
eventually, I have marked one scripture, that is Alma 26:22 great
scripture I love it. Congrats to Tate on the mission call that's so
sweet, wow 3 people I know well in the same mission tha'ts cool, they
will enjoy and change greatly. Mom I need Corbin Lees Email? Oh it was
cold this morning I had to wear my hoodie to stay warm. All is well I
am healthy and keep it chill, Kakata is great.  Transfers are coming in
two weeks we will see what happens, also interview with President on
Wednesday should be great. Sounds like the snow is making everyone
happy, haha sure wouldn't mind some, but the suns great too, cant
complain I'm still here to live another day :)........ Well hope
Everyone remembers Christ this week and Not just for the Death but the
Resurrection, that death will not grip us eternally, but that we might
be exalted on high with our Eldest Brother and become a Joint heir
with him over many things. I love the Savior and am grateful for his
love towards me, also for his love towards my investigators he helps
in everything big and small, Jesus Christ is Real and Lives. Love
