Elder Austin Cahoon's Mission: Trying To Be Like Alma

This week was awesome!! Bringing people to Christ! What a blast! And hello family and friends! Y'all are the best! I appreciate all the support! And man this week was a good one!

So we had the baptism for our friend JoAnne- she is so great! We had an awesome week with her. We had a dinner appointment with her but I wasn't able to go because I was on exchanges in Ocala with another missionary from my Zone. But it was wonderful to meet with her this week. And it was great to see her be baptized! She is so happy! There was also another baptism by the other missionaries. How great is that?! There were some people that showed up for the baptisms that were not members of the Church! They had a wonderful time! Hopefully we will see them again!

We had some super good lessons with Justin and Melanie! They are the ones who we gave the Book of Mormon to and helped them bring in groceries! We had 3 lessons with them this week and they was amazing! Melanie is reading in 1 Nephi chapter 19! She wrote down a bunch of questions for us. It was so cool! For our second lesson, we taught about the Restoration and then third lesson we went over the Plan of Salvation and eternal families! She was so excited! She said "If I find out this is true I am going to be baptized and I'm going to the Temple!" She is so great! We talked to her about receiving personal revelation and what the Spirit is and how to feel His promptings. She has such sincere prayers! We are excited to see them progress!

In my personal studies, I have been studying some super good things lately. The cool thing about the Holy Ghost is that He helps you to understand so many things at a deeper level. It's amazing the things I'm learning that I wasn't able to understand before!

I have been reading in Alma and I absolutely love it! Alma is such a beast Missionary! Sometimes I wonder what the old prophets from the Book of Mormon and Bible would be like in this day and age. What would they do and say if they were knocking on doors like us missionaries today. It's kinda funny to imagine. Also, it would be way cool to have Alma as my companion! Maybe one day!

Well I love you all and it's been a great week. Hopefully you have a great week coming up! Love y'all!!
