Today was good. We had combined district meeting this morning in Concord. It was good. We learned a bit about how to organize and use the Area Book. It is really important in missionary work, and we can definitely improve. Elder Cain is getting on my nerves. I need to have more patience and charity with him. It just seems like he's grumpy a lot and when I have a good suggestion (like picking up the pace while we tract - like we are told to) he get his panties in a wrinkle and gets all upset. He's a great missionary and I'm blessed to have him as my trainer, but the more comfortable we get, the more we seem to not get along. The other day Sis. Rogers (a Sis. in our district, serving in Danville) gave me really good advice. She said that no matter what happens always make sure that I have a close, personal and strong relationship with my Father in Heaven. This is His work and if I'm always doing everything I can to work hard then I can be satisfied and have joy in the work. Well today we committed Tine (The African lady who prays really cool) to be baptized.  She said that she has already been baptized and feels that her soul will be lost if she is baptized twice. So we talked about being baptized by the proper authority and she said that she would pray about it. She is a great person. I really like Tina. Sometimes it's hard to understand her, because she doesn't speak English very well,but I hope that she makes the decision to be baptized.
