Hello again!
Things are going well here in Orem.
Last week I think I told you about Carlos. The guy who was doing awesome and came to church. He is still doing awesome, but lives in Saint George now. We got there on Monday for our lesson and he had all the books we had given him out and looked excited. He has been reading the Book of Mormon a ton and is in Alma. He also said he read the first 10 chapters of the Gospel Principles manual. We started with a prayer and talked about faith a little then talked about baptism. We asked him if he felt the need to be baptized and he said "claro!" In other words, "yes!" Then, he went off about how he has been looking for years for the peace he has been feeling and how he is so grateful that we knocked on his door. Then, he said that that same day a friend had called with a job for him in Saint George so he was leaving the next day and that he was probably going to be living there from now on. Kind of surprising but the church is there too. I called him on Friday and he said things are going well and that he will be living there from now on. He also said he found out where the church is and that one of his friends had actually just got baptized too. Kind of sad not to be able to witness the whole process from beginning to baptism but I am grateful for the opportunity I had to help him out. Carlos is the 4th person Ive had in this area who has been ready to be baptized but has moved. Crazy.
In the zone overall there were lots of changes with transfers. Every companionship had one person leave. My new comp Elder Williams is the man! The most notable attribute of his is that he is 6'7. He has been out for 16 months and I enjoy working with him.
This morning we had an awesome lesson with a new investigator named Kathy. The Relief Society President who is a convert of about 2 years came with us and it was incredible. They both happen to be from the same city in Mexico and they related well. She said she felt everything was true and requested that we leave her something about baptism.
Well time is up-
Hope you all have a great week!
Love, Elder TC
