Hey guys,
Well sorry this one is probably gunna be a bit short we gotta get my companion ready. He is being transfered, and im training a new zone leader how to be a zone leader. So we have transfers this week, but im staying here in Camden im just getting a new companion, im thinking itwill probably be an english elder but we will see. We are having a baptism this week! her name is mrs. Helen Busch she is a 69 year old black woman that is pretty much bed ridden. She comes to church in a wheel chair. She has had two strokes in her life, but she is one of the most elect people i have taught! she is about 300 pounds so she is a bigger lady and cannot walk very well so it will take a few of us to baptize her just so that everything is safe and stuff cause we dont want her to fall. But she is so awesome! she was like bearing her testimony to us for a half hour last time when we taught her. She was a miracle that we found her. We found her by knocking doors, we had thought she told us she a was a member when we set up an appointment to come back, then we went back and found out she wasnt and starting teaching her, and we taught by the power of the spirit and didnt waste any time, and challenged her to be baptized. This week she is being baptized! we also had a miracle this week. We had a meeting on Tuesday with all the other zone leaders in the mission, and it took like most of the day, when we got back to our area we didnt waste anytime, and went straight to work, (we were biking in the 20 degree weather too). haha We were diligent and found this way sweet black guy named Ananias! we taught him about the restoration, and the spirit was real strong, thn committed to be baptized, and said yes! he came to church yesterday and loved it as well! Man we had a good week, we will be having three baptisms in the coming weeks. But sorry i dont have much time, we just have a great week ahead. And im way pumped for the baptism of Helen Busch ill take a picture and send it to you. Of all of us priesthood brethren that are going to be dressed in white to baptize her, cause she will be in her wheel chair. Its gunna be amazing. She is so cool. Keep my zone in your prayers. Tell grandma i love her. Take care everyone, read from the book of mormon it truly is the word of god! PRAY and ask god to let you know if it is true! HE will tell you.

Love,
Elder Riding
