Elder Jordan Saunooke ~ 8/14/17 ~ DEATH LETTER








So this week was really a great week, and just like it always happens... time goes by so fast when you are with one of your best friends!! I only have 11 weeks left and we are working super hard to make every minute count!!!

On tuesday we had a baptism for Eliodoro that was such a wonderful testimony building exprerience.We had a baptism the saturday before which was kind of depressing because only two people showed up and we have a huge ward so it was super disappointing. But On Tuesday we had over 30 people there and the whole family is now members of the church. His wife and daughter got baptized a little over a month ago but now the family is complete and what is even better is that he got baptized on his daughters birthday:)) 

We had a really sad teaching experience this week because we were teaching an old investigator that had wanted to get baptized before but he is a really hard guy to teach because he basically told us, if we were created in gods image he is basically perfect, he has no consequences for not living the commandments, that Jesus Christ was nothing more than a good man, and that if it werent for his material possessions he might consider taking his life... it was very sad. He looks and acts a little bit like Sherlock Holmes and has lived in Switzerland, canada, nigeria, and has had everything... but at the same time nothing because he is empty inside.

I love being with my companion and we found a super awesome family yesterday that is part member. 

This week my death letter (card that tells me im just about to finish the mission) came in and so we all took pictures together.
