Week 40

Hi, glad you guys had a good week.  That's really sweet Stormy is going to Mexico City, wow he's already going to be going in the next 3 months I would assume.   Tell him I wish him good luck and that I know

he'll be a powerful Elder.  Yeah, this week I was pretty sick - probably the highest fever I've ever had in my life.  Pretty much just stayed all Monday in my bed sweating and saying to myself - Whyyyyyyy?!"?

I got over what ever I had Wednesday, and then Wednesday my companion got some sort of infection in his ear, so yeah we spent a lot of time in the room this week, but it's all good.  Yesterday one of the recent converts brought his friend to church (which is cool because they have to travel about an hour and a half in a nasty little van, what we call a "comby") but anyway, he talked to us after sacrament and he said I brought my friend that's going to get baptized, so we were just - ALRIGHT!  After church we were talking to them in one of the rooms, his name is Barneby,  and he was telling us that he wants to get baptized and everything so, he accepted a baptismal date, and then we explained to him that we have to teach him and prepare him for baptism, and we wanted to know if it would be possible if he could travel here during the week so we can teach him, and he was said that it's kind of hard because he has a lot of work and stuff, and then our recent convert (Vladamir) said, "LOOK!, one moment I want to say something! When you decide to follow Christ, YOU LEAVE BEHIND EVERYTHING! and put him first! That is FAITH!"  My companion and I were just thinking, "WOW!"  Then he told us a story of one time he prayed for rain and it rained, and then he said to his friend that if he really wants to get baptized that he could visit us during the week, and his friend said, yeah, I think I can come and talk with you guys Friday.  That was an awesome thing.  What Vladamir said was true - just VERY direct, and it worked! I learned a lot from that experience.  Well, I'm out of time again, love you guys and, as always, until next week!
