Hey family!

Hey Family!

We had a pretty good week! We spent all Tuesday afternoon making 192 cookies (16 dozen) and then spent the whole night delivering them. They were very well received by our investigators. Our purpose in making them was trying to get closer to our investigators, get more confidence in them that way they might start keeping commitments and just showing them that we loved them. I’d say it worked pretty well, but even if we don’t see any immediate success from it, we sure as heck had a good time making them, and I know they had a good time eating them, so I feel pretty justified in the labor.

All our strong investigators are doing great (Carlos, his girlfriend Macarena) and continue coming to church every week, and they even bring their friends, which is really sweet, but we’re still having a hard time getting our other investigators who have never been to come for the first time. It seems like every week they have some long lost relative come visit, or something crazy, or the sky fall, to make it so they can’t come. Oh well, Just proves the quote "You can have eternal life, as long as you don’t want some other thing more". We were finally able to get in contact with one of my favorite investigators, Rosaura, again. We found her when I barely got here and taught here for a good stretch of 2 weeks where she progressed super well until she disappeared off the map. We found her again a month later with my new comp, started teaching her again, got her all the way to the baptismal interview and then she disappeared again. We finally found her again and turns out she’s been working a ton, but she really wants to get baptized, so we’re going to work with her to get work off on Sundays so she can come to church and get baptized!! She put down the goal to get baptized October 2nd, so hopefully everything goes well and she can get baptized then. Other than that, all is well. This Thursday we get a private conference with Elder Bradley Foster, one of the 70 and our area president, so I’m pretty excited for that.

I’ll let you know if I learn anything cool.

Love you guys! Church is true!
