Dear Family and friends,

This was a great week!!  We had two people baptized in our ward. We were in Platte City almost every day.

Tuesday we had a great lesson with the Bueschers.  We taught them the rest of lesson 4, the Commandments.  Then the Zone leaders interviewed them for baptism. 

Wednesday we had district meeting it was about the new mission president that we are getting on the 28th.  We went on Exchanges and I went up to St Joe. Part of their area is my old area since they realigned the ward boundaries. It was great to be able to be there and be on exchanges.

Thursday we exchanged back and had weekly planning.  We then helped with the Relief Society Activity that was on Missionary work.  Sister Buescher came to that and loved that.

Friday Elder Goro went to the doctor. We then had dinner with an anesthesiologist. We did some tracting and found some people to teach.

Saturday was the baptism! It was a great baptism. We had a lot of missionaries there. There was also Brother Stopper, he served here in this ward over 2 years ago and then in the other mission, the Wichita mission, then when home a week ago. My companion gave a talk on baptism. Sister Gunter gave a talk on the Holy Ghost.

Sunday was Church.  The Bueschers got the Gift of the Holy Ghost. I was able to stand in that circle.  It was a great experience.  The spirit was real strong. We also got to help ordain Brother Buescher to the Aaronic Priesthood. I am grateful to have the opportunity to participate in teaching them and in them receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Thank you so much for all the letters.

Love,

Elder Benjamin Allen
