Wow, another week has come and gone.

First of all, congratulations to Charlene and Nathan and
family! I'm glad to hear that things seemed to go well.

So, you say you got the shower fixed? The shower was
broken? I didn't know that...What was wrong with it?

Well, things are going well here in Weslaco. Unfortunately
we didn't have the baptism with Nora and her son Edgar
this last week like we were hoping to. However, Nora and
Ovidio did get their marriage license! We're hoping that
this next week they'll get married.

We've been teaching alot of great people, and we had
about 5 investigators come to church yesterday, which
was super exciting. Well, now for the details with
investigators.

Nora and Ovidio - Waiting for them to get married so we
can baptize her and her kid. We had dinner with them this
last week and a lesson.

Martha - Well, unfortunately we weren't able to meet with
her this last week, and she didn't come to church. We'll
keep trying to find her, so, nothing new there...

We still can't find Asusena, Yoshio and Gustavo... oh
well. They've got our number and they know where the
church is, we'll hope to see them there soon...

Jason - Well, we tracted into Jason a while ago. He's a
24 guy, whose dad is apparantly a less-active member. We
met with him for the first time in about a month on
Friday. He asked when we could come back, and when church
was, and to give him a reminder call about church that
morning. Well, he came to church and seemed to enjoy it.
He told us to call him today to set a time when we can go
back and teach him more. We're looking forward to that.

Don, Brittany, and Bridgette - Well, Don is the father/uncle
of the Lozano/Garcia kids that we baptized a few weeks back.
He really seems to enjoy us coming by, and is always very
generous when we come by. Brittany and Bridgette are two of
his teenage daughters. They've started listening to the
lessons, and they came to church yesterday! Don still
hasn't come, but we'll get him there...

Gustavo - We found Gustavo when we went to visit Freddy and
Vanessa. He's Freddy's brother-in-law. We've now taught him
a couple times, and he's been reading in the Book of Mormon.
However, he's very catholic, but thinks that all churches
are good (seems to be the case often here).

Anyway, there's a quick summary of what's going on here.
I hope this email finds you all safe and well. You are
all in my prayers.

Con amor,
