Campos - Week Eighteen

Well, this week went by all right. We didn't have a baptism, and Luiz decided that he doesn't want to follow the law of chastity, and so he doesn't want to go to church anymore. I was really sad about that, especially because he has a testimony about the Book of Mormon, he believes that Joseph Smith was a prophet, but he just doesn't want to  follow right now. It's sad, but what more can we do?

So this week went by pretty fast. We found a lot of new investigators, but not all of them want to progress. We had to knock a lot of doors this week too, which isn't really fun. We also haven't been able to teach our investigators more than once either, which is annoying. We don't have any credits on our cell phone, so when our appointments fall through, it's hard to get in contact with them again.

We have some cool investigators that we're teaching though. We are teaching a kid that reminds me of Drew. His name is Bruno, he's 16, and is a DJ. haha. He's really sincere, and wants to know more about our message. He said that he prayed out of curiosity, but that he hasn't gotten an answer yet. But he's a great investigator, and wants to know. His biggest problem is going to be Sunday, keeping the Sabbath, but we'll work on that. We're going to teach him tonight and see if he read the Book of Mormon.

We also started teaching a woman named Marlene, who is trying to stop smoking. The very first time that we taught her we taught the Word of Wisdom. She has been progressing a lot with this, but she doesn't understand very well the restoration, so I don't know how much more she is going to progress. It's basically been a miracle to see just how much her desire to stop smoking changed after we gave her a blessing. So cool. Just the little things like that are really cool to see.

We haven't been able to teach those other investigators that I told you about last week.

Anyway, we haven't been having much success this week, but we are going to work really hard this week and see if we can mark some more baptism dates.

So that's about it for this week. Love you all. Way to be a soccer star Darcy. Way to be the spiritual leader in seminary Drew. One thing that I just love is my personal study time. When your study is really good, it's just a great way to start the day.

If the kids are having a laziness problem, D&C 88:124 is a great scripture for that. haha. =)

And yeah, things can only get better. When we try to make things better and try harder, we'll get there.

That's about it. Love you all. Have a good week at school. =)
