Querido Familia,
This week was really good, we were able to visit a less active man, whose family is not members and we scheduled a time on Friday to teach him and his family. Also we went to visit another less active member, who had previously kicked out her boyfriend who was our investigator. We had also found out previously that he was in prison, and she was not going to bail him out anytime soon. So when we visited, we were shocked to find that HE answered the door. before he was kicked out and in prison he was a really promising investigator, but when he answered the door, he told us that after seeing the people in prison and how lost one man was who was getting out in a few days after 15 years, he decided that he does not want that to happen to him. He told us that he is changing his life, and it wasn't "I WANT to change my life" it was "I AM changing my life." He has quit smoking and swearing, and he asked us what he had to do to get married ASAP. So we told him we would talk to the branch president and we scheduled an appointment for Friday. We also had a lesson with our one progressing investigator. Her baptismal date was scheduled for this weekend, but we had to push it back a little bit, because of her smoking problem, but I am really excited for her, because I really do think that she will get baptized. The sad news in all of this though, is that we will have transfers next week, and there are high chances that I will be getting transferred. So I am super stoked that the work has picked up a little bit here again, but I am sad that I may not get to see any of these great things happen. But it sounds like things are going well at home and that everyone has had a pretty good week. Grandma, Its good to hear that things are going well there. I really enjoy reading the short stories you send me and would love to receive more. Dad, I really enjoyed those pictures you sent and am glad that you had fun there. I have not done anymore Spanish only weeks so far, but I do plan to in the future. But I am trying hard to learn and understand the language. Ryan and Brittany, I really enjoyed the pictures. It looks like you will have your basketball team after all! Haha! Its good to hear that you guys are doing well and working hard. Anyway, thats about all I have. I will be sending pictures today!!!!!!!! I love you all!!
