Dear Blog,
This week has been a smash. My companion and I were a little sick the first couple days of the week so it was off to a tough start but we had heaps of fun working. We have our investigator Steven, who we saw and was super excited to learn more and told us he wanted to be baptised. All he had to do was get married and he told us he would pray about what day he should get baptised so we were pretty excited for him to commit to a day. Sadley he told us yesterday randomly that he was no longer interested, but we think that there is more to it than what meets the eye so we are going to see if we can get him a desire to be baptised again. I believe it can't be to hard as long as we are persistant.
We are also teaching a part member family where the father smokes and drinks but we finally got a decent lesson with the father on saturday so we are going to commit him to stop smoking when he gets the desire which should be soon. He wants his children to grow up in the gospel, so we are also trying to get him to understand that he needs to be an example by following gods commandments and being baptised.
The mission is going great! Feel free to send me letters too ;)
