Hey there Family!!!!

This past week was an exciting one! i will just go through the days
Monday: Got invited to a christmas party that was being thrown by the
campus cru ( bible study group) we ended up teaching 15 or 20 people
in this party I felt like we were some old school missionaries just
standin there and preaching. It went well and we got us some new
investigators outa that. I broke my umbrella on accident and i had to
walk about 30 blocks in the pouring rain so i got soaked.

Tuesday: Was packed full of appointments. 2 of them were first lesson
restoration lessons and the other 2 were progressing investigators. We
set another baptism date with our investigator Carlos for Dec. 31st!
Which is really exciting because this area has not baptized in a long
long time. Then we had a lesson with some baptist seminary students.
We were making alot of progress with them and then all of the sudden
it turned into a bash and the kicked the crap out of us. So we
scheduled a return appointment cause we were not going to get our
trash kicked and i was ready to tear apart the doctrine of the
Trinity. so we went in there and i had a change of heart and we had a
nice friendly talk with tons of testimonies bourne and they didn't
know how to bash with the spirit.

Sunday: Elder Walter F. Gonzales of the presidency of the seventy came
to our branch to talk to us. So one of our investigators was with us
at church and we went up and shook his hand after and he asked our
investigtor if he was a member and he tole him no and he asked if we
had invited him and we told him we did last night and he turned us
down. so then Elder Gonzales invites him to be baptized and promises
him all of these blessings and stuff it was crazy!! So now ty is
thinking really hard about baptism!

That was my week. There was a challenge in our zone to see who the
most obedient and successful companionship was and me and Elder
Freestone won!!!!! So the Zone Leaders have to take us out to eat.

I love you all!
