Hello all!

Well, on Saturday we had three baptisms. I'll be sending a
picture home in the mail. The service was great, and on
Sunday the three girls were confirmed. The father came to
the baptisms, and seemed to enjoy it, and was planning to
come to church, but something apparently came up.

We'll continue working with the family to try to get the
rest of the family to become members of the church. We're
making some good progress though!

However, on Saturday, we lost contact with Asusena, Yoshio,
and Gustavo. Their number is no longer working, and they
were kicked out of the house where they are staying.
We are praying that we'll be able to find them, but for
now, we're not sure what happened.

We taught Martha this last week. She didn't make it to
church on Sunday unfortunately, but we'll continue to
work with her. She still hasn't gotten rid of her
boy-friend. She knows she either needs to get married to
him, or kick him out. She's leaning towards kicking him
out, but is having a hard time doing it.

We had a pretty slow week this last week, other than the
baptisms. We spent most of the days tracting all day
long. We've found a few good potential investigators, but
haven't had a chance to really meet with them yet.

However, it's nice to know that "the work of God will go
forth boldy, nobly and independent...until the great 
Jehovah shall say the work is done." He definitely has his
hand in the work. Of that I'm positive.

Well, I'm three souls closer to my goal of baptizing all
of Texas :) It may be a stretch but I think I can still
make it.

The work is hard, but must go on.

I love you all!

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Con amor,
Elder Meservy
