Yesterday, we had my first baptism and Elder M.\u2019s last!!! The other Elders in our ward had 3 baptisms in addition to ours at the same time. We baptized B, the girl I mentioned last week who\u00b4s mother didn\u00b4t want to allow it. Her mother realized how bad she really wanted to be baptized, so she allowed it! She is a super firm girl and is progressing super fast in the gospel. After the baptism, we went over to a member\u00b4s home for lunch. \u00a0My CTM instructor and her family were also there!<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I found out I would be transferred. I will be working in another small town with Elder F. \u00a0The town has a small branch and is even further in the interior.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of a fun communication activity that we did in district meeting. I was blindfolded and one person was designated to shout directions. Except, there were also tons of other people shouting false directions. I had to listen for the correct voice to guide me. It\u00b4s a great object lesson because in life we always have so many voices telling us what to do and so many people telling us to do the wrong thing. We must tune everyone else out except the good voice, the Spirit. \u00a0(The other picture is my Zone from this last transfer.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/elderjosholsen.nyolsens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1020443.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-310 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/elderjosholsen.nyolsens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1020443-1024x651.jpg\" alt=\"P1020443\" width=\"634\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"http:\/\/elderjosholsen.nyolsens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1020443-1024x651.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/elderjosholsen.nyolsens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1020443-300x190.jpg 300w, http:\/\/elderjosholsen.nyolsens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1020443-816x519.jpg 816w, http:\/\/elderjosholsen.nyolsens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1020443.jpg 1131w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/elderjosholsen.nyolsens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1020435-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-316\" src=\"http:\/\/elderjosholsen.nyolsens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1020435-3-1024x801.jpg\" alt=\"P1020435 3\" width=\"634\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"http:\/\/elderjosholsen.nyolsens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1020435-3-1024x801.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/elderjosholsen.nyolsens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1020435-3-300x234.jpg 300w, http:\/\/elderjosholsen.nyolsens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/P1020435-3-816x638.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px\" \/><\/a>This Friday, Elder L.
