Email from Monday, August 17th, 2009

So I'm still in Dundee! My new companion is five days into the mission field. His name is Elder Jensen. It's been rewarding teaching him how everything goes. It's a humbling responsibility to train a new missionary.

Cheryl Murphy got baptized!!! The service was great. Sister Williams and I sang a duet. Elder Ozard baptized her. She couldn't stop smiling after the service and she got up after the closing prayer and thanked everybody for being there. She fits in great with the ward. The Nikitichev family invited them over for dinner on their own after church. It's great to see member fellowship without missionary invlolvement.

We had a wonderful meeting this morning with all of the district leaders and the bishops of the wards as well as the high councilman for missionary work, and we all coordinated and learned from one antoher about bringing people solidly into the gospel. We've all got a new motivation for the work.

Being with Elder Jensen is really fun. It reminds me of when I first came out and was learning everything, and passing off teaching the lessons to my leaders, and memorizing everything. Good times. I'm excited for him. He has so much faith.

Love,
Elder Anthony
