My success as a missionary here in the great town of lakewood.

so this week end our companionship has 5 people on date for baptism...which will put me at a grand total of 34 (well i guess i should say "grand total" cause i still have 10 months left haha) but i realized that after these 5 baptisms i will have doubled my converts on my mission since i came back to lakewood 12 weeks ago. and i was wondering why it took me 7 transfers (42 weeks)to get my first 17 baptisms and only 2 more transfers (12 weeks) to double it to 34... and i really believe and know that it is because of my excitment towards being a missionary, not that i wasn't excited before, but i feel that i had other things on my mind that were slowing me down (things like home, family, what i want to get into for schooling and stuff). when i came back to lakewood it really hit me about how fast 2 years goes by. so i have been really focused on the people i have been teaching and progressing them rather that worrying about my own personal things that don't even need to be thought about at this time. hopefully i can keep this excitment up as i get transfered to new areas :D

i love you all and miss you guys so much
