Totally sick with it week!

Hey
That's really weird seeing the house like that. It's really cool though
and you did a nice job with it. Cool beans. Sali con tu Mujer! lol

This last week was amazing. Totally Legit! One of our investigators
got baptized on Saturday. His name is Micheal and he has been waiting
a year for this event. He wasn't able to be baptized before because
of some legal issues. He has worked really hard over the last year to
get himself to this point in his life. His wife also has been waiting
and praying for this. It was a very spiritual experience for all who
attended this beautiful moment. He was confirmed on Sunday then he
received the Aaronic Priesthood that same day. He looks forward to
when he can go to the temple and be sealed for time and all eternity
to his wife. He is a stud. Also on Sunday our Recent Convert Ruben
received the priesthood as well.

Yesterday was the best Sunday I've had since I've been here. Micheal
and Ruben received the Priesthood and we had 2 new investigators come
to Church. one of them, totally out of nowhere, just showed up at our
Gospel Principles class the week before. Her name is Isabelle. She
prefers Sister Izzy. She is great. She came to Church yesterday
completely prepared and participated in the class. We taught her the
first lesson and it went really well.

Our Second new investigator is Crystal. She referred herself through
Mormon.org. She received a Book of Mormon from a client over a year ago. She told us that she has been "hiding and waiting" for the right moment to
contact the Church. I wish she would have made contact sooner because
that is a long time to wait and sit in the dark without the light of
the Gospel in her life.

We taught her the first lesson and invited her to the baptism of
Micheal. She came and she really loved it. She said he looked like a
new born kid when he came up out of the water. She is really
interested in the Church and wants to learn. Her husband is
"Presbyterian and will die a Presbyterian" he says. But he is really
supportive of her. He won't sit in on the lessons but he is letting
her make her own choice. Her brother on the other hand does not like
us and is doing everything he can to keep her from learning the
Gospel. But she says that this is her choice and she wants to learn
more. She came to Church and loved it. The members here are very
good at fellowshipping. Crystal had a lot of questions and they were
able to answer them for her.

So Crystal and Sis Izzy look very promising. We have another
investigator named James that we will be seeing today. He is very
intellectual and kinda hard to teach sometimes. But he loves having us
come over and I enjoy the lessons we have with him. We are working
hard on him. We are trying to tap into that heart of his and get the
Spirit in there. I've only had one lesson with him but they say that
he has toned down quite a bit. So he is coming slowly but surely.

So that was my awesome week and I hope things get better for us.
Thank you for all of your prayers and support. I know that it helps
us out a lot. Onward Christian Soldiers!
