Hi Mom,
So fall is starting?  I've come to only know two extremes - extreme heat and freezing cold ha ha, but that is cool. Timpanogas I bet was fun, sounds like the garden is doing good, that's exciting to hear. What you said is true too, I feel like we could baptize a ton of people but if they go inactive the week after their baptism I don't think that is a convert.  Yesterday we were talking to the couple we baptized 2 weeks ago, and they now have the goal to recieve their patriarcal blessing, and to go to the temple.  It's really great to see members after they're baptized move forward in the gospel. This week we received another talking to from the Mission Assistant.  He told us that we need to baptize more men.  If we only have a chapel full of sisters the church will never progress.  He talked to us about strengthening the priesthood, it was really awesome. He also said the church isn't directed for tradition but for knowledge of the gospel and revelation.  He said someone that is a bishop shouldn't say well the other bishop was like this and so I'll do that.  He said that missionaries should KNOW the gospel.  He said I hope you guys read the Miracle of Forgiveness and The Doctrines of Salvation - all three volumes before your mission! I learned a lot this week. We had a way awesome experiance teaching a family that we found this week.  We brought the recently baptized family with us, and we were teaching and the sister shared her testimony in quechua and I didn't understand anything she said but I felt the spirit really strong.  We invited them to be baptized and everything went well, but Sunday they didn't show up to church.  For once we had the help of the members going to pick investigators up for church and me and my comp were speed walking from hill to hill to bring people, but nobody showed up this Sunday, it was saddening, but some weeks are that way.   Sometimes it makes me feel like I'm a little inadequate as a missionary, but keep I trying to do my best. My new comp is Elder Ramirez from Peru, he is awesome.  We are doing all we can do have results so I know if we keep working this way will be able to see the fruits. Things are good, Love ya mom, Aaron.
