Hey everybody! How are things going? Things are going great for me. Last week was a lot better than the rest have been. The area is starting to pick up! When I got here we had 1 investigator and now we have 6! I feel blessed to be here at such a good time. I´ll update you all on what has happened. Last Thursday I went on exchanges with Elder Raban who is a friend of mine from the MTC. The day before he came I had been thinking about knocking doors by the church but we never got around to doing it. So when Elder Raban came, I took him out to knock doors. The first building we knocked didn´t turn out to anything. But the second building we found a family of 3! They let us in and we taught them the message of the restoration. Towards the end we asked them how they were feeling and the dad said ¨peace, happiness, just calm.¨ It was the perfect answer. He said he knew what we were saying was true just because of how he felt. We asked them to be baptized but the father doesn´t feel prepared. We told him thats what we are here for! To prepare him. He agreed to read a chapter of the Book of Mormon that we left for him and to pray about it. I can´t wait to see what happens! We also received a referral from a member. This member had hired a woman to take care of her mother and she was interested in the church. So we taught her and she has a baptismal date for the 13th of February! The branch is really excited because they haven´t seen an adult baptized in Crevillente for a year and a half. I hope everything works out! Blessings just keep flowing our way! I also received a special assignment this week. The branch presidents kids had a birthday party in the church and my companion and I were asked to be there so we could at least be seen. So I sat down at a table with some kids and by the end of the party I was famous! I told them I was American so they asked if I knew Obama or Michael Jackson haha. We had a good time. Talking with kids is something I´m comfortable with doing. Now we just have to become friends with their parents! Well I think thats about it. I don´t have time to write more. Thank you all so much for the emails wishing me a happy birthday. I´m sure today will be great. Thanks for all the support. You guys are amazing. Have a great week!
