Final Week

hi.

We had some progress with our investigators, but the planned baptisms were unable to happen. If not next week, then the week after, FOR SURE.

I'm kinda sad that I wont see them get baptized, but I'll keep in touch with my comps so they can send pictures or something. That is, if they're not transferred out as well. We have a few really good potentials and I can picture them being baptized in April or May.

At this point, I'm trying not to feel counterproductive. How can I spend my time the way God wants me to? I ask myself that question, and then I try to do it. Even a week in California is room for miracles. It's hard sometimes to continue because we all want to see immediate results. Even if we did find more people to baptize, I wouldn't see them get baptized. That thought has tempted me to hold back and to not try so hard. But I feel like I've done well enough. I've had a lot of really good teaching opportunities and I haven't lost a desire to teach. Finding...I've kinda lost the desire for that. When I approach someone, I can feel an insincerity in myself that I'm sure others recognize, too. I honestly would like to see someone become interested in the church and want to learn. Experience tells me that it's so uncommon, that the chances of finding someone who's actually interested, is very low. So it would make sense that giving up crosses ones mind. I press on either way. I have a duty to God and I want Him to be proud of me. I can at least try my best. That's all He asks. And when I do a little bit more, He blesses me a little bit more! 

I don't know if I'll email next week, 

So if not, see you at the airport.
