Dear friends and family,

 

 This weekend was awesome!! We had some really cool little miracles happen.

So on Thursday and Friday we had our last 2 lessons with M and K. We taught them about Lehi's dream and then on Friday, we had an AWESOME lesson on enduring to the end at the C's with Bishop there. 

The fellowship from the ward is sooooooo good! Then on Saturday, we had the baptism itself. the Chapel was packed with people! it was full. they had heaps of support from members, and a lot of investigators came as well. the baptismal service was basically perfect! It was cool because we invited quite a few less actives to come along and see.

After the baptism, Sister F came up and told us that they have had 3 separate people they have invited for us to come over and teach! It's so cool because the members here have been able to see that missionary work isn't too hard because the K just invited their next door neighbors over for a dinner, and now they are baptized!

Yesterday was the area broadcast conference. It was awesome! it was basically like a mini  general conference for the pacific area. Elder Pearson, Callister, and Elder Cook spoke as well. It as a lot about putting our trust in  Heavenly Father, and our faith, but trust in him is a higher form of faith. 

 

After the conference M and K were confirmed! Then Bishop took them both aside, and had an interview with them each, and they both have a temple recommend now!! :) so we will be going to do baptisms this weekend :) 

 

Right after that we went Straight to the F's to have a lunch with one of the guys that they invited over. His name was N.  He was talking about moving to Bulgaria for like more than half the time. But then we finally got to talking about the gospel. He was kind of in awe of everything we were saying. We were teaching him about the Book of Mormon, and he said he really wanted to get a copy, so we gave him one! The spirit was definitely there :)

Later yesterday, we went to a potential who we met  a few days ago. We met them by helping their neighbours do service. Their names are N and D. N is from Scotland, and D is suuuuuper Aussie. We talked for a bit, and then N invited us to take a seat, and then we felt prompted to talk about prayer with them. D is an atheist, but N believes, they both committed to pray last night though! We are going to go follow up and have another lesson with them today! It was awesome being able to teach them. Both of them are so innocent, and are willing to listen :) I just pray that they keep their commitments!

I absolutely loooooove this ward! The Merriwa ward is the best ward in the mission, no doubt! I looooove the work and I wish I could stay in this area for the rest of my mission!

love you all,

love, elder beeson
