I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy. Alma 29:9

Transfers are Coming

Hey everyone!
 
So life is interesting at the moment. Transfers are coming up really soon and i really don't want to go. But I've been here for six months, and i've been with Elder Tippetts for three months. So statistically everything is against me to leave. But i really don't feel like it's my time to go. There's so much for me to do here still. Elder Tippetts and i have a goal of 3 baptisms this month. Which is pretty high actually, the zone leaders wanted us to lower it. But i know that we can achieve that goal. It's cause Elder Tippetts and i to work harder and be more focused and obedient then ever before. Even if i don't achieve the goal i'm happy that it's caused me to work harder.
 
Also Elder Tippets and i have been asked to give a training at the zone meeting tomorrow on setting goals. Which as of now our goal will look crazy next to everybodys goal of one. Especially because other missionaries will probably have a lot more on date for baptism then us. So we'll see how that goes.
 
I'm gonna be sending a lot of stuff home if i get transferred. I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford it all, i sure have acquired a lot of stuff over the last six months.
 
Wednesday night we had a pretty bad storm go right through Augusta. It was only really bad rain and winds. But i guess we were on a tornado watch. Someone showed us the weather channel for a moment and a lot of georgia was green because it was raining but there was this red line that went right through Augusta. So we ended up going in about an hour early.
 
I really can't think of a whole lot that has happened in this past week. None of our investigators have a big update since last week. Hopefully i'll be able to report a whole bunch of progress next Monday.
 
Well i love y'all!
