A Really Good Week!

Hey everyone! It looks like we have finally found a bit of success. We had such a great week! Last week we only had 7 appointments inside of peoples homes and this week we had 16! We were so blessed! Oh and more good news. The less active man named Jesus came to church again and brought his wife this time that isn´t a member and she told me she wants to be baptized!!! I was so happy to hear that! The tough part is the only day she has off is Sunday and we have to squeeze all the information into a few lessons but it will be easier since her husband
is a member. I´m really excited though. As for Vicente, it is going to take some work to get him baptized on his date. We might have to wait a little longer. He still doesn´t understand that baptism in this church is the ONLY way back to Heavenly Father. He has studied with the Jehovahs witnesses, the buddhists and he reads philosophy so its hard to get those ideas out of his mind. We have explained it in every way possible to help him understand but he just seems really set on his beliefs. He still comes to church every week though. We had kind of a crazy experience in english class this week. Only three students showed up and one was a woman I recognized from a class 2 or 3 months ago. I remembered she liked to argue when we had the spiritual thought at the end. The thing is they have the option to stay or leave for the thought. So I warned my companion and told him just to bear testimony and end it if she started to argue with us. I read Matthew 3 13-17 and explained how the members of the Godhead are three seperate personages. She started swearing! The other two in the class are actually investigator of ours and they were just shaking their heads and
telling her to calm down. We just bore testimony
and closed the spiritual thought. She couldn´t deny testimony. I know that is the way to face objection. It was an awkward experience but it taught me a lot. Well the weather is really cooling down now and I´m freezing my little buns (or lack thereof) off! Luckily we have these little portable heaters to sit next to. I like the cold a lot more than the heat though so its ok. Well everyone thats about it for the week. I hope I have more good news next week. I love you all and you are in my prayers! Love, Elder Langston
