A week of miracles has been the result of hard work and diligence here in Scottsdale! I don't know if the Lord could bless us any more than what he has this past week or so. I have been surprised again and again as people and opportunities are placed in our path.
Referrals have been pouring in this week. Since the last time I emailed we have received 7 referrals from church headquarters with the names, addresses and background information about people who are sincerely interested in learning more about the Gospel. Out of those 7 referrals we have contacted 5 and have also set 4 more baptismal dates this week! That brings our total number of baptismal dates to 8, even after we had Brian's baptism this weekend!
The work here is exploding and I am so thankful that we are able to be so busy. Here is a list of the people getting baptized in the coming weeks and months:
Mark - Jan 28th
Kolt - Jan 28th
Kenneth - Jan 28th
Dante - Feb 14th
Patricia - Feb 18th
Quincey - Feb 25th
Robert - Apr 6th
Mai'Quel - Apr 14th
I am grateful to be here in Scottsdale, I am learning who everyone is and getting to know the area well. My companion is teaching me a lot about myself, the area, and the principles of the Gospel. Someday he will move on to a new area, it could be next week or it could be in March, but no matter when it is I will be ready to continue working hard and I don't expect any setbacks. In fact I expect the work here to progress forward no matter who is in this area!
I have grown a lot in the last week and have strengthened my testimony too. I know that the Lord is my Savior and Redeemer!
