It's the last week of the transfer. It has gone by so fast. Everything
is just a blur around here. We went to the Single's Ward FHE on Monday and
had food and played some volleyball. We had a couple of investigators and
less-actives show up. It was super fun and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
All day Tuesday we were bouncing back and forth between helping this
guy fix/push his truck for two hours. Then later that night we helped him move
into his new home for another 2 1/2 hours. It was such a busy day and my body
was killing me! One of my favorite families came up from Declo this week
and took us out to lunch. That was awesome seeing and catching up with them. We
got to go to the temple this week, but I was on exchanges the day before and we
stayed up pretty late just talking. So I kept dosing off, which I was bummed
about that I didn't get the full experience.
Now on to our investigators. We have started working with this guy, Josh, who is less-active and hasn't been to church for eight years. He and I really connected right away and we have taught him twice. He came to FHE and he also came to church. It was pretty awesome. Next is Hernan. I think I talked about him last week and he is doing awesome with reading and with the lessons, but he moved to Burley this last week and won't be back until the fall. We told him that he could take the lessons down there, but he said he only wants us to teach him and so he is going to drive up here (40 miles) each week so we can teach him. Then we have Salvidor and Jonathan. We were going over the baptismal interview questions with Salvidor (baptismal date on the 15th) and turns out he is on probation. So you can't be baptized if you are one probation or parole. I was upset because he is so solid and I said, "I'm calling the mission president." So I talked to him and told him the situation and yesterday they had a interview over Skype after church and he is now cleared for baptism. I'm so stoked!!!!! Also Jonathan came to church with his roommate and another friend that they dragged along. The kid is already doing missionary work and he isn't even baptized. Our Single's Ward is just beyond on fire right now. So awesome!
Well that's it for me. Love you guys and thanks for all the emails this week!
