Hello Family this email wont be very long because we have a Zone activity in Caborojo at the bottom of the island and it starts at 2…
This week my companion was sick and we had to stay in for almost three days so we didn’t get a whole lot of things done but we did have a wonderful lesson with our investigator Madeline and Zully. They have been investigating for over 6 months and Know the church is true just have a desire to gain more knowledge before baptism. So we have been working on that and when we passed by to teach her we talked a lot about baptism and prayer. She still hasn’t prayed with us. So we worked on that I wrote down the prayer on my whiteboard and included the handsome missionaries as something she is grateful for and she started cracking up and always says that when she sees me now. =) she prayed for the first time with the missionaries though. My companion is going zone leader we are pretty sure because tonight we are doing another trade off with the Zone leaders. That’s two this transfer. Ugh. I am staying and the other elder is coming up here. So yeah. I have been writing galina regularly so I will make sure to send her a BYU-I pumped up letter. =) She’s awesome. Other than that we had a lesson with Madeline and her mom who we haven’t taught yet and found out her mom has read all the way to 2nd nephi . THROUGH IT TO JACOB… crazy we haven’t even taught her. She wants to read it all and we told her to pray about it to find out if it is true. She said “I don’t need to pray you silly teenagers. I already know it is true.” =) WOW we haven’t even taught her. Then I talked directly to Madeline. And said Madeline we have three principles left to teach you then the next step is baptism. Will you be baptized on Saturday. Her eyes got really big and she said… well….i will pray about it and tell you yes or no on Tuesday. If I feel no I will have a date for you. =) SHE IS GOING TO BE BAPTIZED!!! Then another investigator said he is coming to church because he doesn’t want my companion to leave without seeing him go to church. Woohoo! And then we are teaching a 16 yearold kid from the states that was questioning us on repentance because he hit his dad. We were telling him that Christ founded only 1 church and we need to find that church. We told him he needs to find it and he told us well if you know what church it is just tell me! So we told him and he wants to come to church as well and he is going to read and everything. AWESOME!!!
Well I gotta go. I will write a letter with some other things. And my memory cards. Still didn’t get those sent out. Love you Bye~
