Baptism!

Sorry everyone. I know you are all sick of the short emails, but I am way down on time this week. We were at a wedding reception for the branch Presiden'ts daughter earlier, and it took a ton more time then we thought. Anyway, our week was pretty good, and I was able to baptize and investigator of the Sister missionaries here, so that was really cool. Everything else is goin great and I love you all!

Prayers for Stanley

Hey everyone! We had another pretty good week in San Fernando. We contacted one referral named Jorge and he's already come to church! He's a really humble guy,so I'm hoping he will accept the Gospel. We have also continued teaching most of our other investigators, and even had some success with two less active members, teaching them for the first time in forever. Sadly, our investigator Stanley just found out he has cancer, and I don't think he really has the money to pay for treatments, so please pray for him! We are trying to get him baptized soon so that he can have some additional strength as he goes through this.

Also congrats to Anika and Jesse on your calls! I'm super proud of you both and I'm excited for you both to get out here too! We've got almost all the world down now, except for Australia or Polynesia. I hope you are all still doing great! I love you all and will try to send you some more next week!

Elder Poulton and Elder Van Boerum

Elder Brent H. Nelson of the Seventy

Hey Everyone!

So our power went out last night, and was still out this morning so we changes all of our plans and now I've got a very limited amount of time to email, so I'll give you a very quick rundown for the week.

We were visited on Wednesday by Elder Brent H Nelson of the Seventy so he could talk to us for a bit and try to motivate us to work hard. Turns out his brother is in the stake presidency of Holladay Stake. Pretty Cool. He had a lot of really cool things to say, especially about finding, so we are really making a push for that in the mission right now.

Thursday I got to leave the mission for a bit to go to Legaspi and do some immigration stuff. It was cool to see the other mission and meet up with Elder Poulton from my district at the MTC.

Besides this, my week was pretty uneventful. We did commit two of our investigators to baptism and they seem pretty excited. I also got a new companion, Elder Lapana from Samoa. Things are still going pretty great! Still tough, but what mission isn't?

Love you all and I'll make more time next week!
