Jonesboro-Week 15

This is the latest update from Justin.....Howdy family, well this week has been really good.  We had a baptism on Saturday which makes it a perfectly good weekend.  It is crazy to think that I have been on my mission for this long and it freaks me out that I don't have over a year anymore.  The work is going well, we should be having another baptism in a couple of weeks and our investigators are doing really well.  We have some great brothers and sisters here in Jonesboro.  I love my area so much!!  I can get around without a GPS now.  It is starting to get very humid here but we will see how the summer goes.  The Jonesboro district is doing really well.  I am still serving with Elder Astle and are having a good amount of success.  We have a new missionary serving in the Spanish branch, he is from Utah.  And my man, Elder Sarniguet is still here and he is an awesome missionary.  We also have a senior couple who is going home this transfer...and two older missionaries in the Flint River Ward.  So here is my miracle for the week...Elder Astle and I were talking about numbers this week and we were setting goals for baptisms each month and I jokingly said....20 baptisms and he was like okay and I was like come on Elder...that is like 4 families of 5 people.  So at this baptism that we had the bishop pulled us aside and said that he had a referral for us.  He told us a little bit about the referral...like how they called the bishop asking about the Scouting program, so we talked to the referral and set up a time to come by and after talking to them I found out that they were a family of 5 people.  I know now that the Lord is serious about his work.  I know that he knows the desires of our hearts, he knows what we need before we even ask.  I hope that y'all have a good week.  Love y'all!!
