Tour of the Philadelphia Temple!

So I had Elder Goeckeritz lead out this week to make sure he learns
the area and can do it for when I leave. He did a really good job. It
was nice to be able to a take some stress off of me because I had a
lot of stress the weeks before.

So highlight for this week was OYMing. I tried to talk to everyone I
saw and tried to share the gospel. It turned out great we gave out
about 4 Book of Mormon and a lot of pamphlets and pass along cards.
One guy named Anton said he would love for us to stop by anytime and
talk with him. Another lady named Barbara invited herself to church.
It was just awesome to listen to the spirit tell me who I needed to
talk to. It's the best part of being a walk missionary.

Transfers are a week away and I am freaking out. Had interviews with
President this transfer and he started it by saying "Elder Swisher you
have been here a long time haven't you?" I was like so does that mean
I'm getting transferred and he just looked at me and said "well Elder
everyone gets transferred eventually." That just drove me crazy!
Hahaha

This week we set 2 of our investigators with baptism dates. We set
Natesha with a date and our other investigator Portia. The work here
is progressing so well it is crazy!

Diane was not baptized unfortunately she has kinda disappeared we
can't seem to get in contact with her which is really devastating
knowing how close to baptism she is.

Best part of the week was getting a VIP tour of the Philadelphia
Temple. We got to go yesterday and take an investigator with us. We
took our investigator Janet. She loved it so much and said she can't
wait to be baptized for her parents one day! It was a cool experience
everything in the temple was so beautiful and it was just amazing to
be some of the first people through it. My favorite part was sitting
in the celestial room. It was so peaceful and you could feel the
spirit sooo strong!

Well that was my week thank you for all you support I love you all.
Elder Swisher
