This week we had the baptism of Monica! She is the investigator I had told about who used to go to church in another city but was never baptized. She was very content to be baptized and bore an awesome testimony after she was baptised. She always tells us that she has already felt a change in her life and that everyone in her home is happier in general. Those are the blessings of the gospel! While we had ward council meeting after church in the afternoon on Sunday, my companion and I noticed her coming to church for the Eternal Marriage class. It was very ironic, as I remembered she has the manual of that same class from 10 years ago when she used to go to church in Duran!

   This week we decided to do something a little different in the teaching and use the videos of the church alot. I´ve carried around a CD full of mormon messages, the restoration, and finding faith in Jesus Christ to show to our investigators. 

   As for invesigators we are teaching, we are still teaching Ginger, Juliana the recent converts sister. Also, we are teaching Diego and Paul, a couple of teenage freinds of members of the wards who try to look out for them and help them stay on a good path. This week we found another investigator, Jose, who is a 25 year old guy that we started to talk to walking to an appointment. To our surprise he started to talk in pretty good english! He told us he studied for a year in Harvard! We scheduled an appointment and taught him the restoration, and realized he studied in Hartford, not Harvard haha. While trying to find the address of Jose, we met another Jose, another young guy and married. We talked to him and have plans to teach him with his wife, grandma and cousins.

  That´s about all that happened of notice his week! I am happy to be a missionary! Hope you all have a great week.
