Kid Investigators

So this week wasn't anything too special! But it sounds like all of you are still doing great which is awesome. As for our week here,

We are still doing some pretty good work! Like I said last week, some of our investigators right now are kids, and even though they are hard to work with sometimes, they keep inviting new friends to come to our lessons! And they even came to church yesterday, all five of them. Besides that, we are extending baptismal invitations to a couple of them who should be prepared in only a couple more weeks to be baptized! All of our hard work is at least paying off for them! They hard part for the past week was two of our investigators that have up until now been progressing, one even set to be baptized this next week. Problem is, one of the disappeared for the past week and the other doesn't quite understand the connection between knowing the commandments and having to keep them. It's not like an addiction for her or anything, but we taught her the 10 Commandments. Super basic. Problem is, the Catholic Church here changed them to not include the 2nd one about engraven images. So a lot of people here have little statues of saints and Mary that they worship. And even though this investigator, Victoria, knows everything is true, she doesn't want to give up her statues. So we've had a pretty big problem with that for her, but we've almost got it worked out! During our lesson, we were trying to think of a scripture to share with her and ended up opening to the same scripture at the end of 2 Nephi 31 where it says that Christ is the only way to attain salvation. Hopefully she will get over this problem soon! We've also found a few other investigators that have loads of potential, asking great questions and really seeing how the Gospel can help their lives.

I'm glad everything is going great back home! I wish you had more snow, but then I guess I'm not missing out much! I'm glad Jon and Will are doing great as well! Love you all and I will talk to you again next week!
