This week was our first week in a month that we have not had baptisms in our area. I was a little sad, but we will work even harder to ensure that the rest of our baptisms happen. As the end of the transfer is coming, we are increasingly trying to help everyone be baptized as soon as possible. I'm afraid that I will be transferred. I love this area. I love the people here, and it was the best experience of my mission to see the small ward discouraged become the ward that baptizes the most in the stake, with many members who are excited and very helpful. And I changed along with the members and new converts here too.
When I arrived, I still felt a little insecure about being a missionary, mostly because I had little experience and still could not speak very well. Now I have seen so many miracles and I have learned a lot from my teammates, especially Elder Youd now, I finally feel like I'm starting to see our true potential as missionaries, at least a little. I used to think it was hard to baptize and reactivate, maybe something that happened once or twice a month. But after seeing the miracles here, I know it's really possible each week. We're having a lot of success here that I can hardly believe it. Every day we find more people to teach and we have so many people and families progressing and really wanting to learn and grow that it's almost impossible for us to plan, visit and teach them everything. It is a miracle that we are managing. I definitely know that people are being prepared for the temple here, and not just a few, but many. I am very glad to be a missionary.
I love you all loads!
Elder Viglione
