Plugged Back In

Best thing happened this Saturday! I went to the temple to do baptisms for the dead with a recent convert! He is from one of my old areas and since I was the one there who baptized him when he was converted, I was able to go to the temple with him. I got to dunk him like 13 times for his family's names. That is 13 more people who can accept the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is so cool to see the love the lord has for us and his perfect plan that he has set up.

I am now on Facebook and man is it weird. The first day was interesting because some of my friends from school were married but most of them are on missions. I have learned to stay away from the news feed because you could get distracted there so easily. What is really cool is the messenger. We have a zone group chat where if we have questions, concerns, helping investigators be baptized and announcements they go on there. It has been very effective so far! We have also been using Facebook at door approaches. While on a split with Fairview, I was with E​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​lder Ensign for the day. We tracted for about 1 1/2 hours and had major success in having people friend us. I thought it would be a lot more awkward asking to friend us then to ask for there number. We seriously were freaking out after every door because we are like, "it can't be this easy!" Well once we crossed to the other side of the street it went back to normal haha! Later that night we set up a messenger lesson with a guy and he became a new investigator! The lord is moving his work forward and giving us great tools to use.

We also have a new chapter in preach my gospel that I absolutely love! It replaces chapter 8: how do I use my time wisely? To "How do I fulfill my purpose". It goes through how to effectively set goals and plans for each investigator and it teaches you how to set goals for the rest of your life. I am pretty stoked about it! Other then that we did some service helping repair a shack/stable for the hurricane that is coming. Don't worry it will only be like a tropical storm here. This next week is going to be insane so be ready! Have a blessed
week!

Love, Elder Q
