Hello everyone! Wow the weeks fly by out here. It seems like I was just barely writing an email yesterday. Anywho...the work is a little frustrating right now but there were a lot of bright points in my week too. Everybody is avoiding us. We have investigators and they seem interested and then when we try to meet with them, they don´t show up. We still haven´t met with Luis yet because everytime we make an appointment with him, he turns off his phone or forgets or...I don´t know! Its a little frustrating. Me and Elder Young actually had success this week, but it was with people that don´t live in our area. The other day on the metro, a man was staring at my tag for like five minutes. I was trying to work up the courage and the spanish in my head to contact him, but he contacted me! He asked me if we were evangelicals and I did my best to tell him we weren´t and we were our own unique church. The church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. We ended up getting his information and he lived close by, but not in our area. We passed him along to some other elders and he now has a baptismal date! How great huh! Also, a man named Niku from Albania really likes me and Elder Young and has been going to church with us even though he lives in a different ward. We had to tell him to go to the other ward and some other elders have to teach him. But we set a baptismal date with him for the 4th of July! So we are having success, but we just don´t have any numbers to show for it haha. I heard a quote that says "There is no end to the good you can do if it doesn´t matter who gets the credit". Maybe I have shared that in the past. I don´t remember but the important thing is people are wanting to be baptized. I´ve been lucky so far being involved in these peoples lives, even if I don´t get to baptize them. I also have a funny story. One of the members here named Jordi is a 45 year old man, but he acts just like a kid. He has an ipod touch and he is always playing with it. The other day he turned on the song "Master of Puppets" by Metallica (not missionary approved) and was singing along with it. Or at least the chorus. I told him I could play it on the guitar and so he whipped out his cheap, nylon string, acoustic guitar for me to play it on! It was hilarious! He turned on the music video on his tv and had me play along hahaha. It was kind of a fun little moment. Every member that finds out I can play has me play their guitar for them. Its a lot of fun. Well I better be off! I hope all is just fine and dandy. I love you all and I know with out doubt this church is true. Happy Fathers day yesterday Dad and Grandpas. I hope it was a good one! I love you all. Love, Elder Langston
