So I stuffed all the pictures into a  compressed folder... and they are still to big to send in an email. So I guess I´ll just have to send them a few at a time.

 

 

Anyway, this last week has been pretty good. So we passed by most of those old investigators, and it turns out that most of them still aren´t that open to changing. Even though they will let us in. However, last Friday we visited with the mother of a family from Ecuador, and it appears that they are golden! The family has been searching for the true church and still hasn´t found it. And two of the daughters recently had dreams that they need to go to the Mormon Church. So we are really excited to start teaching them. They weren´t able to come to church last week because they already had plans, but we fully expect to get most, if not all, of them to church. Hopefully we can have five more baptisms in a few short weeks.

 

 

So it turns out that the baptism of the daughter has gotten moved back. We haven't had a ton of time to be able to teach her, so she still need to know more before she gets baptized. So we moved it to the beginnings of February.

 

 

So this morning we came to the office and had the pleasant surprise of seeing an email that said "Just a Heads up, I got 50 Spain visas approved!" That was a surprise. So only 15 are coming to our mission. However, It will be really exciting (and hectic) to be able to get all of these missionaries by next week,. Elder Winkelkotter, President, and the AP´s are going to be having a ton of fun in organizing where they are going to go, etc. Good Luck! (though at least they came now instead of coming in May with the 30 other missionaries). Anywhere, our week just went from looking like a good proselyting week to a hectic office week. Oh well, maybe in two or three weeks things can settle down.

 

 

Well that´s about the time I have for today.

 

 

Thanks for everything.

 

 

Until Next week
