What a week!


We've had a great week. We were able to find two new families that really want to progress. We were teaching this lady named Tatiana. She has a husband and a child. About half way through the lesson, she asked us when we go to church. We told her Sundays at 10. She then asked us a bunch of questions about what we do and what she needs to bring. At the end she told us that she really wants to go with her family to church next week!! It was a little shocking to hear that, but we planned a return cita for tomorrow. Tomorrow we'll get to know her husband. I'm really excited to teach them!

We also found another family. The wife's name is Ab and the husband Ar. This is kind of funny. So we found them on Friday night and made a cita for Saturday night. We show up and were just talking. Ab was there alone with her mom, so we were just asking about her husband and when he was going to get back from work. Then we asked, "Hermana, do you have any questions for us before we start?" And she said, "Yes!" Then turning to me she asked, "Do you have Facebook? I want to look you up." It surprised me to say the least. Then we explained about the rules, then she asked for my name to send a friend request and I kind of just laughed and said it was an American name that she probably wouldn't be able to remember. It was a little awkward. But then we taught the lesson and she was really interested and ´pretty positive. We just agreed that we won't return with her unless her husband is there too. 

So this week we're going to baptize this joven named Alberto. He was going to get baptized 2 weeks ago, but his grandma was out of town and she wanted to be at the baptism, so we postponed it. We also are going to baptize this lady name Julia! She has received the missionary's for about a year. She's about 50 years old and has a big testimony of this gospel. The thing is that she was going tp get baptized last year, but the day of her baptism she woke up with a sore throat and took that as an answer from God that she shouldn't get baptized. So the elders have been fighting with her about that for the past year and she finally said that this week she's going to get baptized!! We're super excited for her.

Well, I love you all. I'm having a blast out here. I hope everything is going great back home.

Love, Elder Carter
