Not much to update on this week. We`re teaching a few investigators that are way awesome. I`ve definitely been blessed in having the chance to teach some excellent investigators. One investigator we have now is an 18 year old girl, Britany. She was a reference that we had recieved that we weren`t able to contact during the week. On Sunday morning last week we were going to the investigators houses we had to make sure everything would go well when I felt the impression that we should go to that reference`s house. When we got there it was less than an hour until church was going to start. The reference was already up and pretty much all ready, but wasn`t going anywhere! We told her that her friend had told us we should come teach her and invite her to church, and told her we have church in less than an hour, she went and finished getting ready and came to church with her brother! They came back to church yesterday again as well. She used to study with theJehovas Witnesses for a while, and has lots of questions. We invited her to be baptized and she accepted, her 16 year old brother folowing. She is now reading the Book of Mormon every day, understands and remembers everything we teach, and has already had the opportunity to defend her new faith, not even being baptized yet! The second lesson we had with her she said early and enthusiasticaly ¨Who`s going to say the opening prayer?!¨
The family of recent converts came to church as well, the Dad with a white shirt and tie! He is now in page 70 of the Book of Mormon even with alot of work to do.
I love being her as a missionary. I know it is the best thing for me to do in this time of my life. This is the work of the Lord. Be bold and happy to share this gospel to others. I know it brings much hapiness to share the gospel, to those who share along with those who hear it. The Lord has many promises to those who share the gospel (D&C 84:85-88). I love this work and i`m very happy to be here.
Until next week!

(I guess I should start putting my first name along with that, as there will soon be 2 Elder Pollocks in the mission!)
