Ok, I'm writing under the influence of Justin Bieber right now, so forgive if this is choppy haha. We started the week combining the two areas into one which has given us only in a weeks time big fruits. We were able to leave with our second counsellor to the bishop on friday and we set four baptismal dates, and one more who said yes but doesnt want to commit to a date. So thats now 7 dates we have put for the 15th of August (my last saturday in the dr..) Among them - Jamali a mother of 3 who is bouncing off the walls with the idea of getting baptized, Maria Illuminada who came for the first time to chuch this last sunday, Maciel who has been taking seminary for a year and a half , she's on fire. And we're going to baptize 3 different generations of a family: The grandma was baptized last month, and her daughter and that daughter's daughter accepted a date for the 15th, Then the daughter of the relief society gal has accepted another fecha for the 15th as well. She's feeling the spirit and I'm putting a bunch of church music on a memory right now so she can have church music to listen to on Sundays. And if our old-timer who reminds me of the ideal grandpa, Ulisses, decides to accept the fecha that makes 7 who will be baptized on the same day. We're excited and are busting our buns to get these investigators with member friends and having each attend the activities during the week.
It really is true how they say '' you reap what you sow ''. This last week in the weekly planning, I expressed my desire to, now more than ever, live 100% (with both zeros) obedient. We're been doing our best to suck the most out of every day, and even when we arrive home at 9:50 and we're buns tired, we'll make sure that we get to bed on time. I know the Lord is blessing us because of our exact obedience. I can't explain it any other way. We had a day where: everyone was home to recieve us, had read the assigned reading, and had inspired questions! Then ALL of them showed up to church; we broke my record of investigators at church yesterday, 15 people showed up! That doesn't just happen! I know it's cause we're doing our best to keep mission rules.
Speak of keeping mission rules, we went to some super cool caves todday. I called President and asked if we could go, and he said '' With most missionaries I'd say no, but I know you're not going to swim so go for it!'' haha. It was real neat, It's called Tres Ojos and its 3 different caves just plopped on the side of the interstate, we got some real cool pictures out of it. I see if I can't attach some to show you.
All in all we're feeling way good, Elder Blount and I, and we're just anxious to get these investigators covenanted.
Love you all like a pig in slop
