Hi Guys!
So, our investigator, {} is doing great.
We've spent the past week dealing with {some logistical issues} but we finally found a way to get her baptized. The deal was
that her oldest daughter, who legally has the final word on her temporal
welfare, was okay with her being baptized, and was okay with her attending the
branch that meets in the care center, but out of fear for her safety didn't want
her taken out of the care center. The only people who are allowed to take her
out are the family and her boyfriend. Her boyfriend told us he would be
willing to take her to the stake center on Saturday for her baptism. He's a good
guy. He's not a member of our church (he's spiritual, but not religious), but he's been able
to see the impact that us missionaries have had in her life, and can tell
that we truly care and has a lot of respect for us. So anyway, }{ is good to
go for Saturday. We also have another baptism scheduled on Saturday, and it's a
pretty cool story. We planned this week on having one baptism and one
confirmation, with {} in mind. Earlier this week, it was looking like {}
was going to fall off date, so we probably weren't going to hit our goal. On
Thursday, we got a call from President Hansen (our mission president) and received word that one of our
investigators, who was a convicted felon, finally got First
Presidency approval to be baptized. The guy's name is {} and he was super
stoked. He had been waiting since November to hear back and was pretty excited
that he was finally able to be baptized. He's currently on date for this
Saturday as well, so we'll for sure be able to hit our goal. It's pretty cool
how it worked out and shows the importance of having the spirit with you when
you Set Your Goals.
I love all you guys. This
work is amazing, and I know this gospel is true and the atonement is
real.
Love, Elder Jake
