5/30/16 letter

Hola,
This week was really good. We had 20 member present lessons, which is the most I've ever gotten on my mission. And we also gave a LOT of service. A less active, who's boyfriend is an investigator, had to be out of her house in 2 days, so we went over and helped her clean out her yard and house for a total of about 5 hours between the 2 days.
Let's just say the word pack rat doesn't even begin to describe this lady...pretty much everything was just trash. She was super grateful though. Also, on Saturday, we helped an investigator family of the elders move into their new house for a few hours.

Our investigators Kris and Amare, who are cousins, are preparing to be baptized this Saturday. Their grandpa is super active and takes them to church on Sunday's. Amare's mom, who's a member, came to church on Sunday for the first time in years and really liked it. On Sunday, we went to the Mesa temple visitors center and they really liked it. Kris is 12 and he's excited to pass the sacrament and go to the temple.

Maria is getting ready to be baptized on June 11th and is super ready.
We did a family home evening with her on Monday in a members home and she really liked it. We're doing another one tonight after we eat some delicious papusas at her house. Rafael, who was supposed to get baptized last week in Yuma, but didn't show up for his baptism, is rescheduled for this coming weekend.

A cool thing that happened this week is that one of our members called us and told us that she had set up a lesson at her house for one of her neighbors that was interested. All we had to do was show up and teach the lesson. It was awesome! His name is Porfilio and he's super humble and ready. His wife and kids are still in Mexico and he hasn't been able to see them in 4 years! We taught him on Thursday and then again on Saturday. He wasn't able to come to church because he had a last second call to go into work, but he talked to his boss so he can have next Sunday off to come to church.

President Toone has challenged all of the missionaries to invite someone to be baptized every day. It's been pretty cool.


Have a great week.
