It was a really good week this week, and it's hard to believe the transfer is already half-over. My companion is getting a little trunky in the sense that he talks about going home a bunch, but he definitely hasn't been any less diligent in the work. We had a couple neat experiences. First, was teaching a 19 year-old young man named Jonathan. We found him while trying to track down his aunt, who was a former investigator. We still haven't found the aunt, and Jonathan isn't very confident that she's wanting to meet with us at the moment, but in the meantime, we invited Jonathan (who lives at the same house) to take the lessons. At first, Jonathan was hesitant, but when we came back a second time, he had read the beginning of the Book of Mormon and was convinced that it was true. He wasn't able to come to church yesterday, but he accepted our invitation to be baptized at the end of the month. He told us, that because the Book of Mormon was true, the church he used to go to wasn't, and seemed to be OK with that. I must say, that the most exciting time to be a missionary is when you set a baptismal date with a prospective convert.
Also, we had another Spanish only investigator come to church for the first time yesterday, she is friends with Rubi, who was baptized and confirmed a week ago, and really enjoyed it. Rubi was so happy that Reina came to church, but she expressed her excitement over Facebook, because she was vacationing in Mexico. It'll be fun if we can get all four of the Spanish only community to church one Sunday, but so far we've only been able to get two.
Hope y'all have a great week!
Elder Stephen Watts
