Week 9: More time in Moore

If you forgot the wine...go home! (I don't think that he will be staying long!)

This week was another great week! We worked with so many great people on the south side Oklahoma City. That area includes some of the roughest parts in all of OKC so it is kind of fun to go out there and meet with a bunch of people that are super rough but when you talk to them about their love for Jesus Christ their whole personality changes to a loving and caring one. It really is great to be able to see the love in everyone out here.

So since my companion and I did such great work on the south side, the stake decided to shake up the boundaries. I now work only in Moore. No more humble south side folks but I am absolutely sure that I will be able to find people who are just as loving and have just as strong of faith as those that I previously taught.

This week I was able to have another baptism and this time, instead of being the one who did the confirmation I was the one who did the baptizing! That is the first time that I have ever done that so it was both a first for our recent convert and for me!

This week is going to be another change in adventures but it is definitely going to be a fun one. This week was transfer week and I found out that both my companion and I are staying in the Moore Ward! We are now going to have to work a lot on reorganization and making it efficient to work the area but it is all big farm land and homes with lots of land. I love it out here in Moore and I am so glad that I am staying!

The football out here is incredible! The whole town turns into a ghost town during football games because no one wants to miss the game at all! I want to find some place that I can buy a University of Oklahoma tie because then I can get people on my good side faster. The people are still just as incredible as ever and the members are so great!
