Michael's Health

For those of you who don't receive e-mails or letters from Michael, here is the scoop since I haven't been able to copy and paste his whole e-mails lately.

-He and his companion are getting along well. They live in some nice apartments and are liking where they are.

-He and his companion are contacting like crazy. He says last Wednesday they contacted 163 people- more than any other companionship in their whole zone did in one week.
    "We challenged our Zone Leaders to challenge 100 people and so now we have this competition every Wednesday to contact as many people we possibly can. So far we have 6 new investigators because of it."

- They were supposed to have a baptism last Thursday but the girl couldn't make it to church. Then she couldn't make it to church again yesterday, so the soonest she can be baptized is the 18th. 

- They are trying to start up another Haitian branch in the middle of where they live. They need about 25-30 solid members to start a branch and they only have 6. 

-Michael's health has been declining and he is very frustrated. His ankle bothers him and he has terrible headaches. He has been taking whatever medicine he can and he will most likely go to a dr. soon. Please keep him in your prayers as he continues to battle his trials. He is loving his mission and says anytime he doubts that he is supposed to be there he gets an overwhelming reassurance that he is where he is supposed to be. We love him and miss him sooooo much!

sorry

sorry to all of michael's faithful followers. I've been trying to paste his past 2 e-mails to his blog but it won't let me. It's very annoying. I'll keep working at it. Thanks!
