Can I just get baptized?‏




Dear Family,

My week was awesome! Sorry to say some of the stuff happening in other places isn't so awesome such as the protests in San FranCisco. Keep your head up. This should be some cheery news for ya. All of the hard work in this area is begining to pay off. On Sunday we had five investigators to church. One of which, Yao Yu, has a baptismal date for the 8th of November. She's from China and married a member who lives here and she's been progressing great! We've been meeting with them for about two weeks and its been going very well. The other four is a family of five, the Evans. They would all be considered investigators except one of their daughters is only five years old. Franky, the father, is doing better than I could ever hope for with an investigator. We gave them all a soft baptismal commitment about two weeks ago, on the first lesson, which is "when they come to know these things are true would you be baptized?" They agreed. Well, yesterday Franky asked if he had to wait for the rest of his family to find out its true or if he could just get baptized. Amazing! I hope the rest of his family begins to get as exciting as he is. If things continue, next month we should have five or six baptisms. The sixth comes from another part-member family, the Manzer's, who is becoming more and more desirous to know if this is real and true. Sister Manzer knows what the church stands for is great, but has never been sure if there could really be one true church. We'll see where she goes.I always enjoy the mail and pictures. Thanks Malissa and Crystal for the package. The seat cushon is great! Thanks for the drawings Makinzie!The pictures are of me, my greenie elder Kleinman, Elder Remmington (DL) and his companion elder Miesner hanging out in the institute building, waiting for some other missionaries.

LOVE YA!
