First of all, some sad news, F didn't get baptized this week. We actually haven't even seem him since last Monday. He kinda disappeared for a little bit. We've tried several times to find him. We go to his house and no one is home, or his mom says she hasn't seen him, and he doesn't have a cell phone. But we're not giving up hope. :) We keep praying and trusting in the Lord. I know we're trying our best to do our part and if it's the Lord's will, He'll make it happen. I'll let you guys know.
On Sunday, zero investigators came to church, which was kinda sad. But there is this less active family that we are working with, and they came for the 3rd week in a row! It's so great to see them there. It is a young mom, P, and her three kids. They are excited about coming back to church. Before, when we visited them, and asked the kids if they were going to come to church, they all said no, and that they didn't want to. But now they enjoy coming to church and going to Primary. I love it.
With S and G, they didn't make it to church either. We're going to see if we can help them progress a little more, and if not, we'll keep looking for the people the Lord has prepared to receive the gospel at this time. :) K and M and doing good, though they didn't make it to church, because this time M was feeling sick. One new investigator we have this week is A. He seems pretty excited about drawing closer to God and is planning to baptized on September 27. But one thing is that he seems to be more interested in how the Church can help financially (finding a job, etc). Our plan is to teach him the gospel of Jesus Christ and help him make changes in his life and focus on putting God first in his life. I know that the gospel and atonement of Jesus Christ works miracles in people's lives and we are hoping it will do the same for him. I love being a missionary! This is the greatest work on earth. I know that Heavenly Father loves me, and that He loves each and every one of you as well. The church is true! Have an amazing week! Read the Book of Mormon!
