What a week‏

This week was pretty awesome! Elder Rangel and I found 6 new investigators and they are pretty awesome. Well almost all of them. One dropped us two days after we started teaching him, we dont' know why, he seemed really interested at first but we went to see him to make sure he was still coming to church and he handed us the Book of Mormon through the door and told us he wasn't interested anymore. Too bad, but the others are awesome.

First was a part member family, the Pratts. I told you a little of the story last week, but they are doing really well. They're progressing great! Unfortunately they were sick yesterday and weren't able to come to church :( but they're planning on coming this next week! We also started teaching a family of 3 that moved into our area. The other missionaries had taught them a little but they are awesome! Michelle, the mom, is excited to learn and loves the church. Her two sons Grant(14) and Grady(12) are pretty cool kids. They're still trying to figure out who they are and so they don't have a firm baptismal commitment like Michelle does but they'll come along. We have an appointment with them tonight.

Finally is a lady named Valorie. She was a former investigator that we found in our area book. I remember meeting her when I was with Elder Bliss and our first appointment with her was after transfers so I never got to actually teach her. We asked her what her experience with the missionaries was and she said that it was a good one. She said that she was at the point where they were going to come to church but they never did and the missionaries stopped going over. She then asked us what time church was, we showed her around the church the next day and she came on Sunday. She loved church! She is planning on coming back next week and is going to take her 14 year old son, Josh to mutual tomorrow night! She is awesome. She doesn't have a firm baptismal commitment because she doesn't want to just be flip flopping around religions, she wants to commit completely so she wants to study it a little more. We're seeing her tomorrow night as well. We're excited to have so many wonderful people to teach.

But thats not all. Elder Rangel and I met a few people tracting who had met missionaries in the past, have co-workers who gave them a book of Mormon, and are excited for us to come back and teach them again! The work is so good right now. God is just so good to us.

Well hope you all are doing well. See you guys soon.
