Good Changes?

Dear family,

Something weird has happened this week. We were working and BOOM!!! All of a sudden, investigators began coming out of the woodwork. And it wasn't like, 1 or 2. It was more like - well, let me tell you the story.

So, we have a goal to baptize 3 people by the end of the month. Well, this last week, we had been working to get our investigators to church (like we do), and then it happened... finally. Here is a list of those that came to Church:

• Vivian (helped her move out of her house and then taught her a lesson Saturday and invited her to church - she went to all 3 hours!)
• The BOLTONS!!!! (They had gone inactive!!! Let me tell you, I could have cried when they came!)
• Lisa Rivera (She is basically a 'Dry-Mormon' - as in she would be baptized but there are issues with the husband - which we are working out)
• Justin Rosales (12 yr old kid that is crazy- he wants him to get baptized, but his Dad says, "When he tells me he is ready.")

That was just those that had come. There are several others that we would like to add to that list in the very near future. I'm telling ya - we're gonna have a baptism!

We are excited. We also just recently got a new Branch Mission Leader - Brother Bill Wharff. He is an amazing help to us! We are training him into the Superman of Branch Mission Leaders. It isn't easy but it is SO GOOD!

 

There have been some problems with our Inglish branch as far as communication between the Missionaries and the different Auxilliaries. This is due to the fact that we hadn't been going to PEC (Priesthood Excutive Council)! I felt terrible (I didn't know about it) that we hadn't gone, nevertheless, I know about it now and it is really pointless to worry about the past. All I can do is learn from it. Either way, yesterday I went to ours. When I walked into the Branch President's Office, there were all the Leaders of the different Auxilliaries. I was SOOOOO happy. We hadn't been invited to this (even though we are supposed to be going to this every time) but now we are. It was incredible. I am so happy that the Lord is working with us in this. I am so happy that we didn't have to institute that - because really, that would have been apain-in-the-pants.

 

To answer your question Dad, Yes, we did go over time quite a bit. I feel like I should apologize to all of you for that. I think that it ruins the whole fun of it when it begins to break the rules. It pretty much ruins the point.

 

Well, I love you all.

Even though I didn't get to talk to you
