Book of Mormon

Voy a escribir esta carta en puro espanol, está bien?

 

Pues, primero...  Just kidding!  These past few weeks have been really dead... :(  We have had a few good lessons with some investigators with some potential, but we haven't found any new investigators since I arrived here.  When I arrived here, we had an investigator that was going to be baptized, but he has pretty much fell off.  I met him my first night here, and he seemed super excited!  But, since then, we haven't taught him or seen him or anything... :( So, we do not know what happened to him. 

 

Another one of our investigators, Antonio, is pretty awesome.  He seemed to be losing interest, so we were thinking of dropping him.  We taught him the Plan of Salvation this past week and he was asked if the plan had made it want to learn more, and he said yes!  So, that's good.  The story behind him is that he lives with a less active family that works ALL THE TIME.  The less active family gave him to us as a referral and are really excited for him to be taught.  But, the family works on Sunday, and Antonio works with them, so they don't come to church...  They control when they work, and they choose to work on Sunday... So, that's kind of frustrating.  But, Antonio is doing good! 

 

Another investigator, Claudia, is super awesome.  She is the sister of a member, and she lives with them.  She was taught by the missionaries about two years ago and was super excited and was ready to be baptized!  But, her husband did not allow it :( so, she couldn't.  But, now her husband is in Mexico, and he is not coming back.  So, she can be baptized now!  The rules are really weird.  But, we are teaching her now!  She told us she did have the desire to be baptized two years ago, but not now.  But, what she doesn't know, is that she really does have that desire.  She just needs help to realize it!  Her whole family that lives here are all members, and they all really want her to be baptized too.

 

We have a few other investigators, but we haven't been able to meet with them very much, since I arrived here, so I don't know really know them...  But, I actually lied.  We did get two new investigators on Sunday!  La familia Gonzales!  They live with another member family, in a little apartment thing on the side of their house.  They have been taught by missionaries before, but are really busy, so it is hard to set appointments with them.  They have two cute little girls, 5 y 3, and they seem like they have some potential.  They really like the temple and the fact that families can be together forever.  Hopefully their work schedule settles down, so we can actually find them!

 

Sorry I don't really have anything this week... Next week will be better! 

 

I really like all the talks by President Benson about the Book of Mormon.  "There is a power in the [Book of Mormon] which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book. You will find greater power to resist temptation. You will find the power to avoid deception. You will find the power to stay on the strait and narrow path.”  So true!  I have the October issue of the Ensign; the one 100% dedicated to the Book of Mormon.  SO AWESOME.  I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON.  BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD.

 

Oh yeah.  We had President Interviews yesterday!  President Cook is so awesome.

 

And you didn't ask me any questions, so... I hope you have a fantastic week!

 

Love, Elder Hunt :)
