April 5, 1997, Saturday

Well, we got to [General] Conference and after the first session had 5 baptisms, […] Yeleny and her brother, and three others.  The Bomb. It’s a good start. We only had 3 fall out.  Then we went on splits again to solidify more commitments and do interviews.  Ya, it went nice. 

[Elder] and [Elder] pulled through. I was really scared wondering if they would get all of these and they came through […].

We went to church early to baptize Doniseth’s brother and Kaisha.  […] Then [Elder] had a family of 5 and 2 friends come. We took care of that.  3 of them got baptized.  And then Brownsville came with another 3 from a family we had been teaching there.  Wow, […] we had 8 baptisms.  We only saw 1 [other baptism] […] from the 4 zones that were there [over the] 2 days.  We’re at 15 and it’s the 6th We’re going for 40.  [Elder] and I have got about 5 in the mix but we need like 7 more.  I’m pumped. […] Good people.

[…]  We had to interview a girl for baptism so we did and we had to wait for her sister and when her sister [arrived] she said no. I’m not doing it. We were like, OK.  [She ended up getting baptized]

April 8, 1997, Tuesday

We had a mission conference. [One of] the first things said was, the mission is at 33 and East New York is at 16.  Everyone was like WOW. We had ½ the baptisms in the mission.  It’s nuts.  Then when we had Zone presentations, […] We stood up and said, we were the dream team. We don’t talk smack, we get the job done.  [That didn’t go over well]

The spirit is so strong in this area, this month. I can’t believe it. We are finding people all over.  People are so prepared.  I almost can’t believe it. I’m on fire.  I love it.  I’m so pumped to be here I feel so blessed for it also. I will do my best to please my Father [in Heaven].  I just am going to take care of my job and baptize… everyone.  I was sent to baptize and I will get them all. […]

April 10, 1997, Thursday

Well, we went out and worked hard.  It was cool.  We got some good fearlesses and we were juked by a few people. […] Nothing really special happened except for a few born-again Christians came up and said they were going to run us out of town.
