Lots of new investigators!

Hey Everyone!

We had a good week this last week. We were able to find 14 new investigators and get some good lessons in. There are some good humble people in the area that really want to learn! It's just super hard getting them to come to church because they can't get rid of old habits and it's a little hard for them to go to the church because you have to take a bus to the next town. But we have an investigator called Orlando that I've talked a little bit about. He's been an investigator for a very long time. He's just been waiting for his marriage papers to get here from Guatemala. He's been such a prepared investigator from the start. The only things are that he's been having a lot of problems with his son who's super sick in the United States that has been trying to work but he can't. And their granddaughter is super sick with a heart problem, and Orlando has arthritis. We're doing the best we can to help them with everything to help him get baptized. I think he will get baptized with in a couple weeks. We also have another investigator who's been going to church for four years. Her daughter is a member and so is her husband but he doesn't like the church anymore. We were finally able to find her in her house and her son too! He's not a member so we were able to teach him too. But the only doubt she had was baptisms for the dead which doesn't make sense why nobody had helped her with that before. So we taught her about that and she said it made sense and now she's fine about that. We invited her to be baptized in a couple weeks but she said she would pray and tell us Sunday...well...she didn't come hahah. But I feel that it's only a matter of weeks. 

I love you all and miss you very much!
