Como anda (8.22.11)

This past week we were planning on two really good investigators to be at church, but they didnt come! Its a bummer when you are waiting at the door and they dont end up coming but we have this next week to animate them to go to church next Sunday. But, we did have a few other investigators in church and they also went to a family home evening we did in the church on Sunday. We shared a message about the importance of being a child of God and the significance of that and then we played some games. The Young Women from the branch were in charge of the games and we played hot potato with one of my baseballs and everyone loved that. We also played bingo and everyone had a good time. There might not be many people in the branch, but those that are there every Sunday have really strong testimonies and make it known through their example.

Like I have said the past few weeks, we have been working in a small town about 15 minutes away. Everytime we finish a day there we feel like it was such a productive day. We get in doors because they are so nice, or they havent had missionaries pass by over there for a long time. They accept baptismal dates, but its a little harder to get them to church. We are going to try to go pick them up now and have breakfast with them before church this next Sunday.

My companion is learning really quickly. We have been practicing how to teach the message of the Restoration of the Gospel a lot during our studies and we have been going back and forth when we teach it a lot more. He invited someone to baptism for the first time and they accepted! It was awesome.

Oh, we are probably going to have a baptism this Saturday that came from nowhere. Appearently a boy that is 9 now got baptized when he was 7 because they messed up and didnt have his birthdate correct. So, he is going to be baptized again! My companion is going to baptize him and it will be his first time to do it in the misssion!

I love yall!
