21 Day Promise

Well things here are going pretty well. Like I said the spanish is getting easier. I still have to focus while listening to it, but I can understand a lot. We have some pretty solid investigators right now. The one that has been coming for like a month, who I think I mentioned last time, we put her on date for the 21st along with her daughter and son. And then we have another family that is living with her cousin or uncle who attends the English ward. We put her daughter and son and her on date for the 28th. So we're hoping to have some baptisms coming up pretty soon. There's potential for 6 or 7 baptisms. Then another one of our investigators, Alejandro, recognizes the blessings of the priesthood and that come from us teaching him. But he hasn't accepted a baptismal date. So last night I committed him to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it. Once he does this we'll be able to get him on date. I'm pretty excited about that. We had 9 people at church last week, and taught 24 lessons. I'm trying to push and get 30 lessons in a week.

I'm trying the 21 day promise out too. Elder M. Russel Ballard and Robert E. Wells gave to all the people living inside of the boundaries of the Salt Lake City mission. You make a list of your friends or family that are less active or non-members. And after you make that list you pray for them every morning and everynight for 21 days straight. And they promised that at least one person on the list would accept missionaries into their house and take the lessons. So I'm excited to see how that works.

Well the next transfers are on December 2nd. I'm kind of worried about Thanksgiving. Because I don't want to get fat. So we'll have to see how I do with that. Oh and we went to the High Councilmans house for lunch on Sunday and watched "An Unlikely Mormon." It's Glen Beck's conversion story. Y'all should probably watch it. It's pretty good.
