Hey Everyone!
We had a lot of fun today! Our whole zone went to the coast. We climbed up onto this HUGE rock in the water and took some pretty cool pictures! I had a hard time getting up the rock. I'm not very good at rock climbing (it kind of scares me! Ha!), but the elders all catered around me and supported me the whole way up, it was kind of cool. It was a huge cut into my pride, but sometimes that needs to happen.
We have been getting a lot more solid investigators lately. We also have a baptism this coming Saturday! Bill is getting baptized! He was supposed to get baptized on March 5th, but he's learning so quickly we were able to up his date to this Saturday! He's such an amazing man! He's 78 and is VERY sickly, but he has a great testimony and an excitement to be in the Celestial Kingdom.
Speaking of the Celestial Kingdom, we had a recent convert who kept saying that even if she made it to the Terrestrial or Telestial Kingdom, she'd be happy. That made me so sad, so yesterday I asked her about it. And explained to her that they aren't what we should aim for, because we won't be in families, or with Heavenly Father. She seemed still to just not care. She said, "As long as I don't go to Hell, I don't care." Sister Judd told her it would be her own personal Hell. The recent convert said, "This life is Hell to me." We then explained to her that anywhere, but the Celestial Kingdom would be like this life, because we'd be separated from God and we'd know that we could have been with Him. She seemed to understand that more and really grasped how important it is to go to the Celestial Kingdom.

Overall, it was a growing week and it was a good week! I hope you all have a terrific week! Loves!
