Hello once again everybody! 7 more days have passed and here I am sitting here writing another letter to all you guys. I am doing well here in Santa Sabina, as always. This past week we´ve been working really hard to find new investigators using the list of inactive members. We have been contacting a ton of houses where apparently members live, but they haven´t been too receptive haha. A bunch of them have had bad experiences with the church and that´s why they stopped going obviously. The 2 people I am really trying to focus on this transfer are N and J. N came to church on Sunday and stayed for all the classes and everything. She has a baptism date for this coming Sunday, but she hasn´t actually come right out and said she wanted to do it. It´s always just a if I feel right about it, I´ll get baptized. She´s the lady that´s been really sick, and when she reads the chapters in the Book of Mormon that we leave her, she doesn´t understand a single thing. We are working hard with her with members, and she´s seeming more receptive to baptism. She´s just having a hard time recognizing her answer to her prayers. We have an appointment with her tonight, and we´re supposed to get her baptismal interview set up for tomorrow. I haven´t had a whole lot of luck with investigators the week before their baptism here in Santa Sabina, but I am trying to have faith and pray a ton for N. J is the 10 year old son of a less active. If you remember, this less active had a bad experience in church with her kid running around and that´s why she stopped coming.That was like 7 years ago. She put on her calendar she was going to church this week and we have an appointment set up with an old friend of her with her 10 year old daughter as well. It should go well and we are going to try and set up a baptism date for the 10 year old kid. Hopefully the mom accepts and everything goes well. Other than all that we´ve haven´t done quite a whole lot. Friday night at 6 when Chile played, we just had to be in the house. We ordered a pizza and just chilled the whole night. On Wednesday at 3, Chile plays again and we have to be in the house again. Chile actually won their first game which was a surprise to everyone.Now on Wednesday is the big game against Spain. They´re supposed to lose but the Chileans are getting excited anyways. Mom, that lady here sent you a message on facebook, and tried to friend you but their no add as friend. We figured you had every single setting possible set on your facebook to make it as private as possible. She was really looking forward to having you as a friend haha. Her daughter leaves the 29th and I´m not sure when she´ll be in Utah. That would be cool though and wants to know if I need to send anything home or if you guys want to send anything back. Sounds like Carter´s birthday went well and that he enjoyed his Iron Man party. Hahaha such a funny kid. That´s too bad Grandma´s not doing too well. Hopefully she can keep hanging on.. I´d like to see her and I´ll definitely be praying for her. Anyways that´s about all there is to update you guys on.Thanks Mom H-Train for the letters and I wanted to wish Dad a HAPPY FATHER´S DAY! Was it Father´s Day at home yesterday? Because it was here... and you or Heather didn´t say anything about it but either way I love you FATHER JEFFREY! I love you all and I will talk to you guys next week!!!!!!!!!!
