Well, I still feel like Im going to die or fall apart, but we are having a > lot of success. This week I counted and we have 15 investigators who have > said that they want to get baptised, and 2 different ones taht have said > they know that Jospeh Smith is a prophet etc. We had 8 investigators in > church, and we will be putting baptismal dates with them soon hopefully. > About the marriages.. um one of the couples has stopped coming to church > and we havent seen them for a while. The other one is freaking awesome. > Their life is super tough but their faith seems unshakable. We went with > them last night and we were going to have the opening prayer and the > little 4 year old said, "arent we going to do it like this?" and he got on > his knees and folded his arms. Those 3 kids are the best. We are jsut > waiting on a birth document from Nicaragua so that the wife can get her > passport for the lawyer. They either will get it today from a consul of > nicaragua or the 20th from their neighbors mom. So, we will have a baptism > and marriage this saturday or the 28th. We have been contacting solely by > the spirit and about 80% of our contacts have given us their addresses and > we have put appointments to visit them. We´ll see what happens with that. > The family of Diego, the 10 year old that got baptised, havent bought > coffee ever since I talked strongly with them and committed them to stop. > The less active mom, the nonmember brother, and diego have all stopped > drinking so we are going to have a hot chocolate party with them on > Wednesday. I think we are going to put a baptismal date with the brother > soon. We contected a guy that was hugely inspired by the spirit, it was > like, you have to talk to this guy, and turns out that he is the husband > of a member, but he didnt get baptised then. So we taguht him and he told > us that he knows its all true, but hasnt done it yet. So we are working > with him as well. He told us that he wants to get baptised too.The brother > of the gorgeous girl finally finished his first communion catholic thing, > so the mom is going to start coming to church again and hopefully will > bring her kids. The gorgeous girl and her borther did come to church > without the mom and the other sister and the frist communion brother, but > they asked us how could they all get baptised as a family and I told them, > read, pray, come to church, and gain your testimony. The gorgoues girl > already knows and has felt the truth, but her life has been hard to > change. Hopefully she´ll change this time around and help all of her > family get saved. Haha. She will bring a lot of preisthood to the church, > that´s for sure. We have a ton of others, but time is limited. I > compromised the couple with the twin baby girls and his sister to not buy > any more coffee after what they have runs out, and I taped a picture of > Jesus on top of their coffee makers, so we´ll see waht happens with that > too. They will get baptised soon I think, they jsut need money for a > marriage and change their life. Haha. Anyway. Hope all is good. I am > really craving Christmas music right now.
