Hey Family!
That's sweet that everyone is on fall break and even better that they get to clean and organize!! :) I totally forgot that in Utah they do Stake Conference right after General Conference! That's not how they do it in NM but I think I like it better the first way! It sounds like the Stake Conference had a theme of acting for ourselves and being anxiously engaged! That's definitely a subject that I love and one that my mission has definitely taught me! I'll admit that I was kinda lazy before my mission and it's so much better to get up and just do it! Agency can make or break you.
Our week was sweet!! We had the baptism of Alissa, and it went really well! I was able to confirm her and that was the first time that I have ever done that so it was an amazing experience! Alissa is awesome and she is definitely going to be a kingdom builder! Bringing people into the waters of baptism is the best thing ever!! We were also able to find a couple new investigators this week. One of them is named Caroline, she is probably in her 50's and she lives alone. We are over the YSA branch and another ward in the Rio Rancho stake called the High Range ward, so we teach any YSA in the stake boundaries and anyone in the High Range boundaries. But we met Caroline while tracting and she told us that we could come back and share a message, so we brought a member and went back to teach her. We taught her the Restoration and she talks a TON!! The lesson got off track multiple times but we were able to bring it back and we committed her to read and pray about the BOM and she said she would. She is going to a christian church right now that she really likes so hopefully that isn't too much of a block for her!
Anyways, I love serving in Rio Rancho and being able to go out every day and invite others to come unto Christ! It brings so much joy into my life and into the lives of others around me! It's the best thing in the world! Love and miss all of you and hope that you are all doing what's right! Talk to you later!
Love Elder Summerhays
