Here Comes the Sun

How are you all doing in your own little corners of the world? I hear it's bitterly cold over there in Utah. Here the sun is out all day. Also the fluorescent lights of the office are out all day too.

I hope everybody got a chance to watch the Christmas Devotional. It was really good. If you didn't go watch it and remember what Christmas is all about. Also Gilberto who we baptized like three weeks ago, is the assistant ward mission leader now. We had a correlation meeting and we were all writing down the names of our investigators and we looked back in the notebook a couple of pages and his name was there. It was pretty cool. The picture is of Gilberto, his dog Luna, and us this was the day that he got baptized.

This week was good. We've been working with our investigators Emisela, her son Carlos, Alma, Daniel, Ernesto and Patricia and some news that we found. Those six either have a date or a very close to having a date. Emisela, Carlos, and Ernesto all have a baptismal date. Daniel and Alma have accepted a specific date but need to get married. Patricia is really positive and we've only had one lesson with her but she went to church and accepted the invitation to be baptized but we haven't had the opportunity still to put a specific date.  We only found Ernesto and Patricia (Ernesto is the dad of Patricia. Ernesto is around 65 years old and Pati is 25ish) on this last Saturday. We were walking down the road in El Bambú and we saw her pass by. And she went into her house. We were on our way to another appointment but  we had the feeling to talk to her. So after the appointment we went bac We found Ernesto and Pati. We talked to them and taught them a short lesson and invited them to go to church. They said yeah that's great we'll go. And they actually went. Then Ernesto went to the Christmas Devotional. He is reading the Book of Mormon and he said he'll get baptized. The date is for the 28th. He has questions about whether he can get baptized a second time. We are going to teach him about the authority and why the ordinances must be performed with the proper authority.

 

Elder Morán and I are getting along really well. He is quite different than Elder López and we have less in common but we get along and we are trying to work really hard. I am learning from him and he is learning from me. I am still learning a lot in the office. I am always looking for ways I can improve because I have a lot that I can improve. Anyways thanks for everything. I hope that you have a great week.
