Hey y’all how’s life?

Everything down here is going pretty good, we had the hurricane scare this weekend, but nothing actually really happened with it, the storm turned at just the right time that we only had about an hour of rain.  The weird thing is I’m slightly disappointed we didn’t get hit with a little bit more of the storm.

So this week we had a little bit of a surprise but in a good way. We were out teaching yesterday one of our other investigators named T. We always teach him on the porch because apparently his kids get really rowdy inside.  We have only ever taught him, but this time his wife decided to peak her head out the door for most of the lesson (apart from the times when she had to go make sure the kids weren’t killing each other). Then at the end of the lesson we asked if they had any questions and she asked us about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon.  We did a restoration review with her and T since she didn’t get to listen in on the first time we did it. After explaining everything we decided that we should invite them to be baptized and T was all for it which was awesome! But N (his wife) was like, "But I’ve already been baptized." We reexplained the fact that baptism needs to be done by someone who has authority and she understood and also committed to being baptized.  We set the date for 3 Saturdays from now.  I’ll keep y’all updated on how that goes, but me and my companion are super excited!

So that is it for this week, I hope y’all have a blessed week!
