But the weather has been nice! We get thunderstorms every so often.
OUr investigators are doing great! Jet is ready for his baptism this saturday and this other 8 yr old we are teaching is also getting baptized this saturday. The family was LA and are now active.
Connor Green is likewise ready to be baptized and it was supposed to be this saturday but they pushed it back so that family could fly in and attend. they also want to do his baptism, confirmation, priest ordination and sealing all on that saturday... It put elder Northrop and myself in a sticky spot as we klnow thats not the order of things. the church doesnt do things that like for convienience. each one is an ordinance and is very special. this doesnt teach him the importance of the ordinances. Thye insisted on asking our president and so i wrote hijm about ti today. i do not think they will get the exception.
Also this week i had a baptismal interview. It was a very interesting one. The person was not ready and i could easily tell. he didnt believe in joseph smith or the book of mormon. they really wanted me to interview him because they wanted me to teach him why he cant get baptized if he doesnt believe those things. i had a good hour talk with him. And by the end the conversation ended with, "Paul you believe in the apostasy, you believe the church has been changed since the time of Christ. You better believe that the restoration happened or it will happen soon. Other wise we are all lost." he believed that. so i also convinced him he needs to pray about it and he said he would. so i hope i helped him.
anyways gotta go
Love YA
