Another Turn in Zilker!

This week proved to be just as great as all the others, if not a little bit better! 

For everyone keeping track (and especially for those who aren't), it's time for more transfer news! Sister Montclair and I are both staying here in Zilker Park and I couldn't be happier! We have so much lined up for this next transfer! It's definitely going to be a great one, just like this one has been! 

Two major things happened this week that were so amazing: the mission conference and Michael and Matthew's baptism! 

The mission conference was seriously amazing. It had almost nothing to do with iPads and everything to do with becoming disciples of Christ. It's been so great for me to see that the Lord never does anything that doesn't have more than one clear purpose. Giving missionaries access to iPads isn't just an opportunity to reach more people, it's an opportunity for the Lord to train his missionaries in the best way to use technology! He truly trusts us to move the work forward with and without name tags! 

Elder David F. Evans and Elder Stephen B. Allen visited and were just remarkable! After shaking our hands and meeting all 200+ of us, Elder Evans said "I've never met a whole mission with as good a countenance as you. With 200+, you just can't fake it!" I love when people compliment the great TSAM. President Slaughter has worked so hard to create a culture of faithfulness and righteousness and it really shows! I love it here in Texas and I can't imagine being anywhere else! 

The biggest takeaway from the conference was just how much the Lord truly trusts us. He's blessing us not only with an opportunity to share the gospel with a greater audience now, but with the chance to develop great habits now in order to continue sharing the gospel after we take off our name tags! I just love Him so much! :)

Michael and Matthew with their mom and grandpa

And guess what?! The week was even greater come Saturday! Michael and Matthew were baptized!!! After three months of working and teaching and loving, it happened! They were so great! They had great family support and you could just see the happiness as they finally entered the gate onto the path to eternal life! I was just so excited for them! :) 

I absolutely love Moroni 1:3. Moroni is facing death unless he will deny his Savior, and he just won't do it! I think it's appropriate to put our own names in that verse. 

Along with Moroni, I, Sister Waite, will not deny the Christ!

Love you all!
