Dear Family,

This week and last week we’ve been working a *ton.* The problem is that we baptized all the investigators we had, so we had to look and look and look for new investigators. It was tough, but we sure saw some miracles:

It’s always a big battle to get people to come to church. We invited all of our investigators, but at 11 still just one person had come. Then, out of the blue a guy shows up named Maxi. Maxi was an 18 year old that we had talked to in the park the night before on the way home. We always invite everyone to come to church, but we never actually thought that a street contact would come. He had a great time and this week we’re going to teach him. :)

The two Morales brothers that we baptized are such studs. We taught them about missionary work and they were all disappointed because they are 4-6 years away from being able to be missionaries. Then we explained to them that you don’t need to wear a nametag to be a missionary, and that they can just invite their friends to listen to the missionaries and come to church or activities and it’s basically the same thing. This week they gave us more references than I have ever received from a member. On Tuesday we went with Facundo to teach his best friend and his friend’s mom and it was an awesome lesson. Facundo gave a great testimony and his best friends mom gave the last prayer and finished up crying because of the beautiful spirit that was present. What an excellent example of inviting all to come unto Christ.

Work hard, keep up a great attitude, and keep focused, and the Lord will bless you with success in your callings. I love you all
