Elder Andrew Basile: 2 Mas Bautismos WHOOP

Hey everybody so this week isnt going to be crazy long.

So being district leader is like this, you get to do some really cool things and travel all over the place and talk with all the missionaries and their investigators and have some very special experiences, but the tradeoff is you spend a bunch of money traveling and you are constantly having to fix people's problems and every two seconds you are on the phone.

But to be honest wow the spiritual experiences have literally at times BLOWN MY MIND.

Speaking of spiritual experiences this whole week has just been full of them, and I am at the point where I have 100% confidence that my prayers will be answered as long as I am praying for what I need, I cant explain to you guys the trust that I have in the LORD right now. We can get on our knees to pray and what we ask for will literally come to pass, and that makes me so happy ugh, I just wish I had the words to explain it. And to be honest if everyone just exercises their faith it can be like that for everyone. Yeah, Im sure you guys are like, no missionaries get extra help but to be honest, I think he just helps us as missionaries in different and sometimes more direct ways. I really want to encourage everyone to have complete confidence in their prayers.

So this week we were out contacting and we met this woman who was really bagging on us because all we talk about it our god Joseph Smith, and how we don't believe in God or Jesus, and how she has talked with many many missionaries because she isn't mean enough to turn them away, and that she has gone to church a couple times and was disgusted because of our lack of faith in Jesus Christ and only believe in our god Joseph Smith.

I had to laugh and tell her that she in fact lied to me and had never talked to the missionaries or gone to church and how we DON'T worship Joseph Smith, but HEAVENLY FATHER and his son JESUS CHRIST.

At first she was taken aback at that I called her out but then she admitted it but likes to much to got to a church just down the street from her house because she can worship whatever day she wants.

Anyway, that just made me laugh, thought I would share it with you.

We baptized two ladies this week, Eva Vasquez and Veronica and her sister and WOW their testimonies just blow me away and they only have been taking the discussions for like a month.

Anyway hope everyone is doing good. I Mom and Dad and Nana and the girls are, Im pretty jealous not to have gone to the NFR but I guess it's alright.

Speaking of which Happy Birthday Nana!

Love you all and miss you thanks for all the emails they make my mondays so much fun.

So I let my hair grow out a little bit Im gonna cut it soon I think.
