Today I ate corn flakes for breakfast and Subway for lunch. All of the office elders (myself included) just got back from the center plaza of San Fernando from our Subway run. The 7 of us are together almost every day.
This week was great! A few investigators progressed and we found more people to teach and baptize!
William: went to church this week! During the week we were able to teach him about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. He loves the peace he feels in the church and is excited to get baptized. His schedule is complicated and he needs to be completely ready for baptism so he will likely get baptized in a month. We just have to teach the most clearly and powerfully that we can.
Katherine: we found Katherine this week talking to people in the street. Turns out that she's neighbors of a member of the church and was invited to the church a year ago. She didn't go but she remembered how nice the member was. We taught her a lesson about baptism and the importance of prayer in the member's house and Katherine went to church! She told us that she wants to grow spiritually. Katherine is really intelligent and has understood all of the scriptures that she has read! It is incredible to see how powerful the Book of Mormon is when people read and understand it.
Rodrigo and Jorge: after two spiritual lessons, Rodrigo and Jorge told us that they needed some time to think about things. They have a hard time believing that God exists because of how lost Jorge's son is (Rodrigo's brother). We encouraged them to keep reading the Book of Mormon and to keep praying. We are going to keep in touch with them via texting and phone calls to help them out when we can.
The office work is going well. This week we pulled off two great multi-zone conferences! I now have more respect and appreciation for how well Grandma Sharee plans the food for our family reunions. FEEDING LOTS OF PEOPLE IS CRAZY!!!!! I'm sure I'll get better at estimating how big the average missionary stomach is but, WOW, I am grateful that we had the two senior couples to help us out. The Wrides and the Wilcoxs are great! I'll try and get a picture of them this week!
I'm glad that Sister Poulson got my letter! I hope that she is doing well and know that she has a fantastic ward to support her.
I love you! Take picture of Boston for me!
Love,
Elder Smith
