1st things 1st! Friday was zone conference and I received 2 packages!!!! So we have been eating Oreos, Mac and Cheese and Cereal every day since then!
On friday I got 2 Packages!!! One from Mom and one from Kirstin Gunn (Chads Cousin) So we are having a blast eating well!!!
This Saturday we are going to have 2 baptisms which I'm extremely excited about!!! The first is a guy named Lucas. He is 15. We found him like 3 weeks ago on the street. He was sitting on the sidewalk with his friends and we sat down next to him and started talking to them and teaching them. We invited all them to baptism and Lucas and his cousin William accepted. We have been teaching the two of them but unfortunately William isn't really interested. But they have gone to church the past two Sundays and last week they went to a stake activity (super Saturday).
He is way excited!
This is me and Lucas. He is going to be baptized on Saturday!!!
The other person is a 12 year old girl named Geovana. With her it was a miracle. She has been going to church for some time now, and she has always really wanted to be baptized but her mom doesn't let her. So we talked with Geovana and told her that if she has faith her mom will let her, but she has to pray every day asking Heavenly Father and then every day ask her mom (I figured God would do a miracle or the mom would get annoyed after enough time and just let her be baptized! haha) So it didn't even take 3 days and Geovana ran up to us in the street yelling "Elder Elder! I'm going to be baptized! My mom wants to talk to you guys tomorrow night!" So we talked to her mom and she signed the baptismal form to be baptized and this Saturday night will be her baptism! Miracle!!!
That's just about everything new in my life here!
Thanks for all the love and support!
