so, this week:
Tuesday was district meeting, it was really good. We discussed the Ordain Women presentation that was at UCA the day before, and also how important it was for investigators to come to church to progress.
Wednesday was exchanges again! I went with Elder Wells in my area this time, and we had a good day. We met up for dinner with the others at a less active's house, and then went to TRUNK OR TREAT! It was pretty awesome. since we couldn't have a "costume," we got our suits, tied up Elder Mitchell, threw him in the trunk and BAM! we were mobsters. It was super fun, and everyone thought it was hilarious.
We met with a lot of our new part-members, and committed them all to church. They are all cool, especially Jose. He is 23, an elder and returned missionary. He has work a lot, though, so he can't come to church as much he wants. Then there is Roxanna and her 2 daughters, Jerusalem and Sinai (bible names, right?) who like us a lot, too. and by "like" I mean "cooks us a lot of taquitios without asking us." We aren't complaining, though.
This weekend was the BEST, though. The sisters have been teaching this family, a mom named Amanda and her 3 girls Kelsey, Amelia and Alivia, for about 6 months now. The elders taught this kid named Dustin for about a month. ALL 5 got baptized this weekend! It was amazing to see. they all looked happy, and there is something special about all of them. they just have this "thing" about them that makes them seem very strong spiritually. I am very excited to see where they go!
