Another Great Week!

Well hello everyone. This week was great as usual. It seems like this whole transfer things have just been going really good! I remember I was worried too because I had to take over the area and schedule everything but I guess there was nothing to worry about. Anyway, Halloween was just great. We dressed up as missionaries and went out and taught people. Vicente wasn´t baptized though. I talked to him and he just doesn´t feel prepared to make that covenant. We did take a step forward though and got him to pray specifically about the Book of Mormon and its truthfulness. Another thing, we set a baptismal date with Vanessa!!! She is the one who has the boyfriend that is a member and bore his testimony the week after we found him and invited him to church. We thought they were married but they aren´t. Usually that is a problem because when people are boyfriend and girlfriend here, they live together. Buth they don´t! So we taught her after church and set the date for the 28th of November. I just hope I´m here to see it. Working with her boyfriend is going to be key. It will be such an advantage for her to always be around a member. He is a great guy and really trying to make changes in his life. I also finally got a rope around the second counselor of the bishopric and told him we are going to need his help if he wants to see his mom baptized soon along with his nephew. We set up a meeting for all of us for the next Sunday. If things go good I will see at least 3 baptisms here pretty soon. I just hope I stay! I can´t believe I have already been in this ward for 5 months. Things are going really good in this mission right now. At the end of last year they set a goal to get 400 baptisms this year. Last year they got 307. We are at about 330 I believe with a few weeks a left in the year. President Hinckley did the stats a little while ago and we needed to baptize 11 a week in the mission to reach our goal. So our mission did a special fast and I think we saw 15 or 16 people enter the waters of baptism! I am so excited! I hope I can contribute to the mission here soon. Well thats about it. I hope life is just dandy back home haha. I love you all. Love Elder Langston
