Week #81- investigators walk in to church!

This week was awesome, we have been working really hard and we were able to see the fruits of our labor. We had 12 investigators come to church yesterday, many of which came for the very first time. They felt really good at church and we are really progressing here. We are going to have a few baptisms coming up and we are preparing a family to get baptized as well. We are really close with this family but the Father of the family doesn’t want to accept the Book of Mormon yet. We watched the Restoration movie with them yesterday and they were able to understand a little bit better. They asked us where they can buy the movie, and they really liked it. My companion and I are debating whether we should wait until everyone is ready to baptize the whole family together, if they want to, or to baptize them separately. The mom of the family is ready to get baptized, and is really awesome. We are also working with a 15 year old kid. One of his friends invited him to church a few weeks ago and, he wants to get baptized, the only problem is his parents. His parents believe that it is really early for him to get baptized. We hope to help his parents understand that we don’t want to baptize him until he is ready and has a testimony. Yesterday was amazing; I was so happy to all of our investigators walk in to church and be able to see how it is and feel the spirit there. I really hope that they will want to continue coming to church.
Love, Elder Monson
