Es Bueno Para Ser Inspirado Por Dios

Good Evening!

Things are rolling along here in Harlem.  We're officially halfway through the cycle, and as always, time is flying.  It'll only be a matter of time before I'm getting shipped off or switch up companions or something like that.

Anyways, as far as the work goes, this last week was a lot better.  We had two investigators passed on to us from the English program- a fifteen year old guy and his mom.  He speaks English perfectly, but the mom doesn't so we've got them now.  His name is Juan and he's got a baptism date of January 26th, and we're going to issue the same date to her tonight.  They're great- they both love the church and have great faith, so we're looking forward to moving onward with them!  We also had one of our other investigators that we kind of dropped, Aura, came for the second time in the past couple of weeks and stayed for the full three hours so we're looking forward to working with her too!  And our key indicators- the numbers we set goals for and report such as lessons with members, investigators with baptismal dates, etc- changed and are more focused on working with members with other members, less active, and investigators rather than just with investigators.  We've been working a lot with members and less actives already, so the new indicators justify our work and make us realize that we've been doing what the Lord wants us to do- it's great!  We've also had just little things here and there that have come up that show that we're doing what the Lord wants us to do.  For everybody, as we just go forward relying on God- praying, reading the scriptures, going to church, doing the things to show that we're seeking for revelation, we'll be blessed with that direction.  I'm trying to learn about revelation right now because it's so essential for everything!  So yup, things are going well.

So another "famous" Mormon in our ward- the girl on the cover of the New Era of the February issue.  I think.  She's in our area and we love going over to her family's house- they're a rowdy  fun bunch!  But yeah there seems to be a lot of people in our mission that are in mormon.org videos and stuff like that, so it's always cool making those connections.

Anyways, hope all is going well with you guys!  Thanks for all your support- hope everybody has a great week!
