Hi Mom,

Hey, I'm glad your feeling better! And that you got the promotion!! Wow, your going to change stores, that's pretty cool. Glad Brett and Jennie are doing good! And that Brett's test went well. Tell Sadie Happy Birthday for me! or Feliz CumpleaƱos! ha ha. This week was pretty sweet! We are teaching a single mom with her daughter, Martha and Pilar, they are awesome.  We went to go visit them this week, and we asked Pilar if she read the Book of Mormon and prayed.  She told us yes and that she prayed how we taught her to pray, and that her prayer was answered and that she knows the Book of Mormon is true! She said she knows it's true because when she prayed, she said that she felt like God was listening to her! That was awesome! Now we just need to help her mom a little bit, she has an "online friend" that told her she can't just join any church, and that she should read the bible more.  That's annoying because the lessons go really well, but then after she talks to that guy. haha  This is the second week she has come to church and assisted all the reunions, which is sweet. We're finally starting to get some more help from the members.  I decided that just talking about helping us out and our investigators in Ward Council isn't enough so last Sunday I started walking up to people and asking for the cell phone numbers where they live and when they can join us for lessons.  That helped out this week.  We also got a new ward mission leader that is a returned missionary!  Things are starting to move forward more, which is good. We started teaching that one guy that said he would read the entire Book of Mormon in 2 weeks, which he did, but he looked for all the scriptures about the law of moses, to try and show us that the sabbath day is still saturday, but ya that didnt work.  Yesterday we taught him about baptism because the last time we visited him he said, well no baptism will change my life, so we taught him that, to the point were he couldn't say that it's not necessary.  Like usual he tries to respond by showing his knowledge of things and then tells us that the new testament isn't even necessary and that only the first five books of moses we could use and be fine, but to his dismay (ha ha) I showed him a verse in Duteronomy that says we should live from every word which proceedeth from the mouth of God, and after that we were just like look man, it's all about you knowing that the Book of Mormon is true and that the authority was restored through Joseph Smith.  He said he would pray this week, will see what happens, really hope he does, But this week was pretty sweet. Hope you have a great week, Love you Guys, Love, Aaron.
