Email March 3 2012

Well for some reason or other I didn’t get dads email this week... so I guess I’ll hear about T’s baptism next week! But it was good to hear about the wedding! Elder S and I were just talking about that today! We had a good time being able to hang out at our zone activity which was hiking and we got a couple of good pictures together. I’ll be writing more about that in my snail mail I’m sending to you!

This week has been a good/bad one. We had a couple pretty hard days due to weather but the other days went pretty smooth. First of all we had an awesome amount of people that attended church yesterday!! We had 4 investigators including the 2 girls we have been working with which makes it so they can get baptized! They have a date set for the 17th so it should actually go through this time! We also had 2 of that family of 3 we are now teaching come and they really liked it and the members actually stopped and talked with them!! Big improvement!! We also had 9 less actives at church including a family that hadn’t come the whole time I had been there! It was the S family and I have met all but the dad who is also a member. Yesterday the WHOLE family was at church! We met the dad and set up an appointment to come see them later that night! It was really awesome to see!! Between us and our roommates we had about 23 less actives/investigators at church! It was a really good week! We ended up seeing a lot of members this week and just trying to get them working on missionary work. Sunday was definitely our best day! We had a zone/mission fast Saturday night-Sunday night to be able to be more united with the Spirit and to find teaching opportunities. Well Sunday we saw 3 less actives and had all those people at church. Answer to prayers? I think so. We had a good lesson with Brother S who calls himself a "jack Mormon" haha He really does want to improve though and he is a really funny and nice guy and just wants a better life. He is devoting himself to finding a job and studying the scriptures! After that we saw a family I had never met. It was the S family and they were super nice! At least the parents were! The 17 year old daughter looked at us like she wanted us to leave the whole time. I got over it though and besides my headache from fasting we had a good conversation!

It was a smaller email this week because not a whole lot happened and it was extremely windy for a couple of days and it made work hard. But I was able to update our area book and organize it to a way that will be very helpful! I love you all and hope you are having a fun time back home!
