Familia
This week went much much better than the last!!
We had alot of people at church so it went very well. So we have this one
investigator named thomas and we had been teaching him for months now and he
has gone to church a few times and he always loves it when we come to teach him
and he even comes with us to some family nights but the thing is, is that he
doesnt want to get baptised, he tried to throw out some lie saying he didnt
believe in god and what not but totally caught that one and told him that he
believes. Alot of jibberish but yesterday my companion and i were talking about
him and how we can help him get baptised, we decided to just go to his house and
be super firm and direct and find out why he doesnt want to get baptised. We
went and started asking question after question and he just answered and we
were able to find out what he needs, we read him mosiah 18 about alma when he
was teaching in mormon and told them that if they are willing to cry with
others and cary their burdens and help others and be a wittness of god in all
times etc. Then what stops you from being baptised, and when we read that we
bore testimony of baptism and how we know that he needs to get baptised and
there was a silence and he looked up at us and with a deep crackling voice he
said ïm willing to get baptised¨and we asked him when and he said ¨in two
weeks¨ it was really a mirracle because this dude has been so difficult to read
and he has tried so many times to throw obstacles in the way to stop us from
talking about baptism but now we got him, we casted out our line and cuaght
this fish and all we gotta do is reel him in!!! It was just a small mirracle
that happened this week! Things are going very well here, i´m still in campo
rosa with elder packard, by the way have you been able to contact his family
yet????? Well i guess i´ll be calling the 22nd for about 5 minutes and then the
23 is when we are going to be able to talk on the phone, so now you know!!
i still haven´t got your package yet but i´m sure that it´ll
be here this next week!!!

sucks, well keep an eye out on austin and let him know how things are going, i
