Another transfer come and gone :(

Tonight are the dreaded transfer calls. We'll see what happens.

This last week was a really exciting one though.

Gary and Jesse are still progressing really well and are excited for their baptism on the 20th. We talked to them about moving it up but they had already planned a whole bunch of stuff around it so we're sticking with the 20th. It's going to be hard coming up with things to teach them here pretty soon.

Kiana passed her baptism interview and is all set for Saturday. She'll be baptized at 10:00am. Her sister Lexi is still being a little booger though. On Wednesday we had a really good lesson with just her because Kiana had gone to mutual. She opened up to us a little bit more and we were able to commit to praying about baptism. She said that she prayed for 30 min and nothing. I think she was expecting a Joseph Smith experience and missed the small impressions of the spirit. We had a lesson about the spirit and she understands and recognizes the spirit now but she still is stuck on wanting to be Catholic. It's very frustrating! We keep on praying for her so we'll see what happens.

My Testimony this week was also strengthened in the fact that the Lord puts us in the best place for us to succeed. We met someone this week named Steve. He called us over and he talked to us for a while. You could tell he had fried his brains with drugs and was a little drunk but he agreed to listen to us and our message. The next night we took Brother Villa with us, a recent convert who lived right down the street from him. Bro. Villas past is almost identical to Steve's, drugs and gangs and all. He bore a powerful testimony about how God helped him out and he was forgiven and so could he (Steve). I'm so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who is aware of all of his children and provided for Steve so that he could come into the gospel. Steve can't get baptized right now because of probation and because of his past he's going to need some clearance from some pretty high up people before he can get baptized. I'll never see it happen but I hope and pray that it will.

That pretty much covers last week. We just got done coming back from Rock Hound Park again, this time with the whole district plus the zone leaders. It was a lot of fun and tonight Elder Clark and I are teaching the lesson at FHE over at our Stake President's house. He invites all the investigators in the stake to his house the first monday of every month. It's so awesome!

Hope you all are having a great week

Love you all!
