Dear Family, Friends, and any imaginary people I think might read my emails for some strange reason...
This week has been great! We had an amazing lesson last night and the spirit was totally there as we taught our Iraqi investigator about the Plan of Salvation. We felt prompted and we asked him if he would be baptized and we set a baptism date for the 16th! I'm so excited!
He is a really interesting person. He's 52, and he came over from Iraq back in 1991. He's a barber and he gets up at 4am to go lift weights at the local Gold's Gym. He showed us a video of him benching 260lbs on a decline, and now I really want to get into some good habits when I work out.
I want to be in as good of shape as he is when I'm 52. But I'm not completely sure that I'll carry around a weight vest like the one he has, cuz he's got 90lbs on that thing!
Anyways, we had a good week and we got a bunch of Less Active members to church on Sunday. Which made me really happy! I have a feeling that there are plenty more Less Actives in this area that are hiding from us... But they can't hide from God, and he's our guide to those who are lost.
I love you all! Have a marvelous week!
