Happy 16th Birthday Jentry!

Hey things are going a lot better down here. I am feeling much better and am all but better now. After 3 weeks of being sick, i had forgotten how great a normal bathroom trip felt. that actually sounds a little gross. so other than the physical improvements of the week, there were many spiritual ones as well. First of all, Zaida, accepted a baptismal date. Our other investigator, Raul, who has a baptismal date for the 4th of July was gone on saturday so we left him a note on the door saying that we were going to come by to get him for church. We got to his house at 9:15am and he was sitting on the couch waiting for us in a shirt and tie with slacks and shoes, reading the book of mormon. What a great sight. Both Zaida and Raul came to church and loved it! We had a new gospel principles teacher who started yesterday. He did an awesome job and they both really enjoyed it! There was also a couple that had commited to go to church to see how it was there. well they ended up coming and really enjoyed it as well. Caterin, another investigator set a baptismal date as well. so that is what has been going on for us these past few days. some great experiences. It is great to see the change that happens with the people when they start learning and understanding the gospel. We're busy and we have a lot of work to do.
well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jentry! hope its a great 16th bday for ya! take care everyone and talk to you all next week. love you lots!
