Querido Familia, This week was really good, we were able to have quite a few lessons and we also found a new investigator. She came to church on Sunday which was awesome. She had actually been to church two times before that, we just had not been able to teach her until this last week. We set a baptismal date with her for the 23 of November. I really believe she will be baptized, but she first has to quit smoking, but I think she can do it. She really seemed interested in the church and had a true desire to learn more and follow Jesus Christ. Anyway, the rest of the week was pretty good too. One night we got a phone call from our Mission President and he asked if he could sit in on our companionship study, so that was an awesome experience. Its awesome to feel the spirit that our Mission President brings with him. So, that was pretty much all that happened this week. It sounds like you all are doing well. I am glad that Mom's surgery went well. And its good to hear that Dad has started going out with the missionaries. They will keep asking you to go out with them so I hope you are prepared for that. It sounds like the lesson you all taught to the Worth's neighbor was not super good, but I would say it is possible to find success with him. The key thing in Missionary work is to work through the spirit and to discern the needs of those you teach, so when they find a need or concern it may not be best to prove them wrong or us right. The main thing we are trying to do is to build people's faith in Jesus Christ by inviting them to receive the restored gospel. And we can only do this by listening to the spirit. And when they have enough faith in Jesus Christ, they will come to the understanding that the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet called by God through his son Jesus Christ. I also have found that people cannot argue with a testimony, and when you show them that you know those things are true they will want to learn more. Anyway It was good to hear from Grandma and Grandpa and to hear that they are doing well. So there are a few things that I would like and its fine to get them electronically, but the tings are: a picture of Oliver and a copy of my Call letter (so maybe just scan it in and I can print it out here). Anyway I think that's about everything. Good Luck! I love you all! Elder Lee
