Records are meant to be broken... 8/29/10

What a week what a week what a week!!! For the big news first our zone was blessed in a significant way to be able to accomplish 30 baptisms this month. The prior record was 22 so it was nothing but a blessing from on high!! We are one of two zones that have ever hit 30 or above. Manurewa hit it this month as well with 31, but they have 14 companionship's hahah. We had a conference call with all the zone Leaders and President Porter this morning and he was just over the moon!!! As a mission we were able to save 172 souls another new mission best!!! In the coming months we are striving to qualify what they did at the waters of Mormon in the Book of Mormon, that would be a mighty 204 souls saved we have so much work to do, but we know that we have a loving Heavenly Father who is all about progression! My favorite part about the whole thing is that there is no way that we can be prideful about it!! There were way way way to many miracles that lead to the total out come. This is God's work, and we are simply instruments in his hands!!

Tomorrow we will head down to the temple so we are very excited to be coming to the end of our cold winter months and let the sun shine on!! I am in definite need of a large boost of energy from source that is beyond my own power! As President says to us zone leaders you are old worn out war horses, but we need you to keep fighting the good fight!! Things are overall just going very very well. This past week we gave tours at the new Missionary Training Center in Manukau it is an incredible building and the missionaries who get to go there will be very spoiled. The Technology is very up to date, and you all know how much I love my technology haha We also went as Zone Leaders up to Whangarei Falls that is where the picture comes from, and we had our meeting up there this month. It was great to be there, and we all had the chance to bare oue testimonies so it was a very powerful day! Not to much else to report we have 9 people that we are preparing for baptism for this month; Three for this weekend, and then at least every weekend in September!! There is heaps of work to do so we will stay very busy!!! So that's it for now I am sure I forgot stuff, but there is always next week!!! Love you all!!!
