My District

Well, this week was pretty good. I can't really think of anything real crazy that happened this week. I got my driving privileges, so now I get to drive the car everywhere. We've done a lot of tracting this week, but haven't got many new investigators. We got about 3 or 4 people with a baptismal date though. So that's pretty exciting. One of them we knocked on a door, saw a 19 year-old kid and asked if he was baptized. Said no, and we asked if he'd prepare himself for Sept. 5, and he said yes. He didn't come to church though so I don't know what's going on there. Then the other 2 or 3 or 4 are from a family where the parents need to be divorced and married to each other. And both the parents want their kids to be baptized. Oh and then Saturday we met a woman who is married to an English speaking man, but she speaks mostly Spanish. We asked where she went to church and she said a christian one downtown, but she was looking for one closer. So we invited her to church the next day. She came with her husband, and they enjoyed it. Turns out the husband was less active, and a high council member went and saw them the week before. So hopefully we can re-activate him and convert her. The Spanish is going better for me. I can understand over 1/2 of what they say. So I'm making some good progress. Well we're having good success in this zone. We have something like 28 baptisms so far this transfer. We're leading the mission.


Here's a picture of my district. The one in the very back, middle is our District Leader, Elder Cruz. He's from Brazil, looks a little like Shia Labuff. Then the 2 on the sides of him are the Zone leaders. And the person next to me is Elder Morris from the MTC. And the Samoan is Elder Morrs, he's from San. Fran. Next transfer is his last. He's going to play football for the University of Utah.
