Hello everyone,
This week has been a pleasant surprise. One of our investigators told us this week that he was ready to be baptized (there were a few pending problems). So we (my companion) baptized him on Saturday between the first and second sessions of General Conference. It was a great service, even though not many people attended (we didn´t have a Sunday in between to announce it). His wife is already a member, but they are not married (not living together either). Their daughter is 7. He´s a great man. Their pictures are attached. We have 4 more on date for baptism this month. We´ll see.
We were just informed by email that Elder Oaks is going to be visiting our mission in May, and that we are going to provide a missionary choir. I think I´ll go audition. That would be a really neat experience. And I miss singing.
General Conference was so great as a missionary. We watched all sessions in the stake center. They put it on in English in the high council office, so we english-speaking elders (6) got to watch conference in style. It was really amazing. I wrote down 8 questions that I needed answers to (some for me, some specific with how to help my investigators). All 8 were answered thoroughly throughout the conference. It´s amazing how that works. Also it seemed to me that there was a large theme of the second coming. One apostle mentioned that difficult days are ahead (and they also talked a lot about the welfare program, being the 75th anniversary). And they talked about how the gospel must go forth upon all the face of the earth, together with the call for more missionaries last conference and this conference. It makes me wonder...
Well if it is really soon, I´m glad. It´s about time.
I love you all, miss you. Keep the faith.
Elder Bunker
