I WAS BLESSED BEING ABLE TO COME BACK, AND I DON'T WANT TO WASTE SUCH A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO HELP OUT THOSE IN THE WARD ONCE MORE. I KNOW THE CHURCH IS TRUE AND I AM SO GLAD TO BE A MISSIONARY!

hey mom

well, good news. we had a baptism! his name is antonio c. he got baptised on saturday and confirmed saturday as well. then on sunday, he was ordained priest. he is awesome. he had only been listening to us for a week and a half. other than that, its great to be back in antartida. i saw pretty much all the members. d is struggling, throwing out excuses left and right for why she doesnt go to church. but i dont get it. so we are trying with her. we found a friend of hers though, nicknamed p, who had listend to the missionaries before. she is one who is willing to listen, but its harder for her to do anything. she lacks a back bone, not to be harsh. but we are trying to help her. then we also found a, a 22 year old girl. she is the daughter of an ex investigator, n. a really isnt interested in religion, but during the lesson, it sparked interest. she asked us some great questions as well. as if there is a prophet in the world today, as well as how she can know if the message is true. she is a golden investigator from what we saw, but we only saw her once during the week. so we need to try harder to find her. other than that, we are working with a recient convert, r, and his non member family. he called us at 11:15 saturday night, telling us that his wife wants to listen to us and get baptized, but didnt come to church sunday because he had to work. so this week we are going to try to help her and their kids. then we also have another part member family, f r. the mom is the only member, so we are working with j c, r and l.  the dad, j c, has problems with smoking and drinking. last night we were able to clear up some doubts about the book of mormon. so this week we hope to get a baptismal fecha with him. seems so much easier here but i cant let up and being obedient and diligent. i was blessed by being able to come back, and i dont want to waste such a good opportunity to help out those in the ward once more. i know the church is true and i am so glad to be a missionary!
