Hey Family!
This last week was another good week! I realized yesterday that I have not really told you guys about some investigators that we have. One is Henry and another is Marcos. They are both 15 and we found them by going to the mutual activity. They are awesome for coming to mutual and for coming to church but both struggle in actually reading. President’s advice was that if they have the desire, and believe that this is the true church, to go ahead and move forward with the baptisms and just make sure that they are reading. And that with time their desire for reading will grow. They are both going to get baptized this Saturday, as well as Santiago.
Another investigator is Brandon who is the cousin of Andy. Andy is the son of Mariela. He has been coming to church and actually reading some. Once he has one more attendance to church he will be able to be baptized. We are hoping and praying that he will be able to be baptized this next Saturday, 23.
In church this last week we had seven investigators, one of which was Marta. She was an investigator a while back who kinda dropped off for a while but now she seems to have more of an interest again. She will still need to get married but seems to have a growing testimony.
Thank you for the package! It is always nice to get a package from home with the goods. The Sour Patch are sweet (see what I did there J). Those Doctor Scholl shoe inserts are awesome! They are super comfortable and should last for quite a while. If anybody there wants a really sweet pair of shoes inserts I would recommend them. The Jerky is waiting for me in the desk for a day when I just really need it:) The Myoplex will be super nice to have for smoothies and stuff like that.
There are now three different volcano’s going off in Guatemala and I heard that Hawaii has volcano’s going off also. There are always rumors of war, and all other sorts of bad things happening in the world. This last week during my personal study I was reading in Mormon 8 verses 28-33, which talks exactly about the signs of the times. Obviously we do not know when the second coming is going to happen, and there are still lots of things that need to happen to fulfill prophecy, but things happen fast so now truly is the time to prepare to meet God.
I love you all so much! Keep on doing all that you can!
Love,
Elder Marks
