03/02/10 Finishing My Mission in Martigny

SCHMIDT FAMILY

Hey everyone, I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you what happened for transfers. It looks like I will be staying her in Martigny with Elder Tracy to finish my mission. I plan on working really hard and finding someone that will be baptized so you don’t have to worry about me. I will be staying strong until the end. I am pretty sure that the transfer is going to fly right on by, so I decided to make some plans and some goals that I want to accomplish; that way I can accomplish them. Elder Tracy and I are excited for the work.

We had the opportunity to teach the nine year old Rolph. His father was a little bit worried about the whole thing, so I invited him to listen and he said that he would love to listen. He was posing a lot of questions like….We have the Bible, it’s already big, why do we need more, and I think all churches have little bit of good in them. We went through and explained all of this to him and he really seemed to understand. We have fixed a rendezvous tomorrow, so wish us luck. If we can, I will invite Rolph to be baptized.

I am sooooo thankful that I have the opportunity to finish my mission here, I love the members, and we are working with really great people. I know that we are going to see a lot of miracles this transfer. What I am going to try and focus on this transfer is growing my faith; first comes the faith then the miracles right? Sorry this e-mail is so short, we don’t have a whole lot of time because we went and saw a castle in Sion it was so beautiful. I felt like I was in Lord of the Rings.

I love you all; you are always in my prayers

Love Elder Schmidt
