And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Hello everyone!
So this week I've been called to repentance, and started setting Baptismal dates, my previous companion was rather slow to do them, but after a few trainings, a call to repentance by my leaders and a new companion, I've repented, and started setting them, and it's really blessing the work! We have two people working towards Baptism at the moment, and we'll have a fair few more by the end of the week, if I get my way! But something that has really hit me is how important they are for investigators progression. With one, we've been talking about Baptism, but she wanted to wait, still she's finished the Book of Mormon, till she's done this that and the other. We decided to set a date with her, and hope she'll accept it. She said she'd think about it. Well, she came back with that received an answer to her prayers, that she needs to be Baptised on that date! With a solid and concrete date to work towards, she'll be able to progress even faster!
It's interesting how having dates, deadlines and goals can really help our ability to grow to become what we want to be. It' something I've noticed so much on the Mission. As President Monson said, as results are measured, results improve. One of my main goals this week is to started putting deadlines for all my goals, so that I can push myself to be a better Missionary, and a better person. I'd encourage you all to do the same!
I love you all!
