Now on Facebook

I'll just be giving a short summary of this super amazing week. This week was full of new investigators and new changes.

One thing I'll say about Monday is that we went to the in and out or iceberg type place of South Carolina called cookout. Very good but also very unhealthy. I got a bacon cheeseburger with a quesadilla and a lot of fries. And it was all so good.

Tuesday we had our first appointment with a new investigator which was so awesome. It's was such a humble meeting since we all just sat on the floor while teaching him, plus we scheduled a date for baptism on November 4th.

Wednesday we had the big zone conference where the new changes with Facebook and smartphones were made. On Facebook we are not able to post anything really but we really only use it to get to know our members and investigators better and to contact them through Facebook messenger. So we're not really using Facebook as a social media tool, but more as a tool to receive information. And smartphones are one for a Companionship and I'm not sure what to say about them.  Another thing that happened that day is we had an appointment with one of our progressing investigators and had an amazing lesson with them on the Book of Mormon and committed them to come to church as well.

Thursday we had three different lessons one with Maximo the Honduran that is impossible to understand, a less active named Gustavo who is a super nice grandpa type of guy, and with one of our investigators who is getting baptized as soon as she has her passport to get married. We also committed her to come to church, so all in all it was a good day.

Friday we had two lessons with a less active and an investigator who my trainer had thought had moved to Kentucky but ended up not. We were there for like 2 hours talking and teaching and learning all about them. Their lesson was cool though because it was acquired over Facebook where we had realized they did not actually move and we could keep seeing them. We also had a lesson with Jesus again where he had a friend and all his kids over as well, and they all participated in the lesson, and we committed Jesús and his kids to come to church.

On Saturday it was a lot more finding, we had a lesson with a member in the morning and also did service at the lawn mower guys place, unfortunately it was raining a ton so I didn't bring my tablet with me to take a picture. Next week though I'll get a picture. Then we just started knocking doors and getting return appointments with some former investigators all over the place. We also visited a former investigator and committed her to come to church.

Sunday we were all very excited if everything played out perfectly we would have 9 baptismal age investigators at church. But only one family of the 4 that we had committed showed up. But it was okay because she brought friends. So we had 5 investigators at church. Plus we got texts beforehand from one family that let us know why they weren't going to be able to go. So at least we know that they wanted to go. So we'll have to see Jesus about why he didn't come. But then we had dinner at a members with an investigator as well as taught a lesson to an awesome less active couple. So that was alright.

Alright well I said that I'd make the email short but it just didn't happen. Probably because this week was so jam-packed.

Adiós,
