Monday April 4th, 2016
Today was a very unique day. We went to go visit the Jenkins but Sister Jenkins was sick so we had to reschedule the appointment we had with them for next Wednesday. Not knowing what to do we called our investigator Samantha. After we visited her, we get in the car and we have a missed a former investigator. He called us and told us that he has been an investigator for about 6 years and that he would like to join our church. We set up an appointment for tomorrow night. So we will still be having a baptism in a couple weeks but the person getting baptized has changed.

Today! Today was good. We had a lesson with Wes. He is a recent convert he has been struggling trying to get to church because his parents are getting a divorce and he has be moving all over the area staying with family but he has finally settled back again in Brainerd. The. We went over to the Tropp's to do service we helped them clean out their garage and prepare for a garage sale. Then we had dinner with the Tropp's. We then we to visit with Dave McCarther. He called us yesterday and left a voicemail saying that he wanted to get baptized and he wanted to meet up today. He has investigated the church for 6 years and basically know everything. He set his baptismal date for April 30th at 2:00pm.

Another great day. We went and visited with the Cain’s this morning they even offered us lunch. They struggle getting themselves to church so we shared a short message on sacrament meeting attendance. Then we meet up with Wes at the family history center and helped him fill out his LDS jobs application. He has been struggling to find work and needs a lot of help. Then we had to go to the Tropp's again and Brother Tropp took us to the Kruta's. The Kruta's are a part member family. Brother Kruta's is the nonmember he was supposed to get baptized last fall but they had some health issues and they were in Utah. They just got back and we set a baptismal date for him last night. He will get baptized on the 16th of April. Which is only a week and a half away. He has already been through the lesson multiple times so we didn't have to do much work at all. :)

Pretty uneventful day. In the evening we got back in with the Flores family. They are doing great! They offered for us to come back next week for dinner. Other than that not too much happened.

Saturday April 9th, 2016
Today was a great day! In the morning we did some service for the Simons. They got some new food storage so we had to help them bring it into the house. Then we started heading down to stake conference which was in St. Cloud. On the drive down we stopped by a few members along the way. We meet with the Carlson's who are and older couple. They are really active. Their son is Bruce Carlson who was released from the Seventy a few months ago. We had a good visit with them. The rest were stop bys and no one answered. Elder Teh from the seventy came and presided at stake conference. He called Elder Taugavau and me out in the middle of the conference and quizzed us on what we would do to help members with sharing the gospel. We passed the quiz thank goodness.
Sunday April 10th, 2016
We had the second session of Stake conference this morning. It was really good. It sounds like there is going to be a lot of changes in the ward pretty soon. A lot of the leadership of the ward was called into the stake we will see what happens. When we got back to Brainerd we did a bunch of phone work to set up this next week. We went over to the Cains and had some chocolate cake with them. Then we had a lesson with Wes and John. We are looking towards a crazy week prepping for the Kruta's baptism.
