I Am Ready Now!

Weekly questions for the elder from home in today's email. The elder's response follows as part of his email.

Q1. Are you in need of anything at this time? 

A1. Nope.

Q2. How did you, the GAM end up for the year (goal of 500)?

A2. All credit to heaven as we achieved 498 baptisms doubling the previous year total!

Q3. Thanks for the update on those you are working with. Who or what can we continue to pray for or add to our daily prayers this week?

A3. D., worked with her on an exchange. We connected really well and she is going to get baptized this month hopefully.

Gotta start off with a miracle! So we went to pick up 5 sisters who on their way to Mexico for their missions. They missed their flight so they are staying here for a couple days. Some mix ups happened and because the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airport is so huge we took a shuttle from the international terminal to domestic terminal. During that time a family of 4 sat by us...and would you believe it they are from wait...MONTREAL CANADA! haha Can you believe it? We shared a pleasant conversation about the gospel and how Ry will be in Montreal in a couple of months. They are going to contact the mission office there and will be on the lookout for an Elder Gautavai (speaking) parle français! Hurrah!!!!!

Well it has been a very busy week for that I apologize for the short letter last week. Instead of our regular transfer meeting we transferred the entire mission by way of checkpoints. We drove all day Tuesday transferring missionaries and then when the new missionaries arrived we took them to their areas. By the way Elder Stewart, a new missionary is very good friends with Dawson Lake as Dawson worked with him on his mission! Small world!!

Ah! so many exciting things going on here its so hard to put it into words! The Lord blessed us with 498 baptisms last year & the goal is to find even more this year whom He has prepared. It will all start this week as we go to the temple for Zone training meetings each day this week and be instructed by the Father & Son.

Grateful for the gospel, grateful for Ry and his decision to serve now! As Ephraim Hanks responded to then the prophet Brigham Young when asked to go out and rescue the pioneers... I AM READY NOW! Watch out adversary here comes another captain Moroni!  

Look to God and Live!

Love Elder Gautavai
