Hey all,

It's been a pretty crazy week. Thank you to all those who have wished me a happy birthday! This past week we had the biggest showing to our Book of Mormon class yet. There was quite a few people there. There was 2 investigators and a lady who hasn't been to church in 5 years. It was way cool. The highlight of this week happened on Saturday. A lady named Paula, who I have been teaching for the majority of my mission, got baptized. We passed her off to the sisters about a month ago and she got baptized on saturday. So awesome. She asked me to confirm her, and it was such a great experience. Paula is so amazing.

Things have been getting a little better. President Pingree has encouraged us to invite 25 people a day. Man, that is so hard. On Friday, we got 22. It was so cool. Although not much came from it, it felt really good to know that we gave it our all and invited all the people that we could. This week when we met with Laura, she told us she knows that she's ready and that she needs to be baptized. She bore her testimony to us of the Book of Mormon and the church. Such a cool experience. Well, sorry there isn't much to report. Not much happened this week besides inviting! In that sense it was a very good week. I figure no one wants to hear the details of all the invites we extended. haha. I was able to get 2 referrals for the spanish elders this week. So that was fun. I'm glad everyone is doing well. I love you all.
