Hey Family & Friends,
How is everyone doing? Things are going good here. We have 2 baptisms
scheduled for this weekend. The same people I mentioned last week,
Faten & Majedah Ghanem. Mission Weeks start on Monday. Baptisms: 3,
Week: 13, Difference: 10. So I am way behind :( . After this weekend
(next Monday) Baptisms: 5, Week: 14, Difference: 9. Currently, we have
4 people on date for baptism right now, and 8 people who are ready to
be baptized without a set date yet. Things are going great. Everyone
makes fun of the Salt Lake City mission. Very few people (even here)
know that it is the highest baptizing mission in the world. Actually
we fight with SLC South and Provo for first. It goes back and forth
between those three every year. The average missionary in the SLC
mission baptizes about 50 people within the 2 years they are here,
which totally kills other missions. The key word is average. The
average missionary (worldwide) baptizes 1.86 people (round up to two
to be courteous.) Hahahahaha. Just kidding. Our success comes from
referalls, which comes from members. Too bad. I was hoping it was just
my awesome teaching skills, but it isnt. Things are going good though.
Thank you all so much for your prayers, e-mails, letters and
everything else you do. It really, really helps. I am very grateful
for my family and friends. Thanks again everyone. Talk to you later,
Sterling
