Hey,
So this past week we have been working hard to get 4 of our investigators baptized and trying to work out there concerns. Some of there concerns are pretty big and some are really small and make me laugh a little bit. We have a 13 year old investigators, named Gan, she is the daughter of Gaw, abd she said she doesn't want to get baptized anymore because she doesn't want to get the Holy Ghost. I was very confused by this because I would suspect people would think the opposite! So I asked her why she didn't want to get the Holy Ghost and she told us that she didn't want it to be with her always because she is afraid of ghosts...lol, it showed us that she really didn't understand what the Holy Ghost is and what it means to have Him with us always. So we went on explaining what the Holy Ghost was for a little while but she still didn't want to get it...So we are still trying to work with her.
But we have a family that we are teaching right now and the husband is way funny. Whenever we give them homework to read or to pray or do whatever, he always calls me and tells me that he finished reading the chapter or that he prayed and then that's the end of the conversation and he said that's all he wanted to say. But then yesterday when he called to tell me he read, he asked me if I thought he was ready for Baptism and I said "I definitely think you are ready" and he said "really? good because I feel ready and I want to be baptized as soon as possible!" It was amazing to see the desire he had to be baptized and how willing he was to keep our commitments we give them so he could be baptized. He is going to be a sweet member and I'm way excited for him to be baptized!
But I've been having a lot of fun out here! Elder Young is an awesome companion and its been really fun out here! Well I hope all is going well at home and I miss you guys! Don't be afraid to write me! Ha ha Love you!
