This week we divide the area again to make room for the sister missionaries coming to Morazán. My companion and I already set up a sweet set of investigators and families to teach when they get here on Wednesday. So they basically aren't even opening area. They're going to have progressing investigators and baptismal dates right off the bat, and the teaching records are all updated for them and everything. Your welcome sisters.

But this next one is ours! haha.
Elmer is a young adult who has three girls with his girl friend, Mari. He was just a contact, but I consider investigators like this references of the Spirit. He met the missionaries in the states, but didn't seem to learn much. But he has good impression of the church. He missed to Sundays in church, but he's reading the Book of Mormon and seems really interested in progressing, so we didn't leave him. His wife is also really interested, but shy. She didn't come out to listen the first several visits, but later confessed that she's been listening from the widow to our conversations with her husband. Haha. She has a lot of Catholic family pressures, but doesn't attend a church herself. Elmer was dead asleep yesterday when we passed by, and we had to really push to get Mari to wake him up. Sleep is really sacred here... He said he would show up on his own, which is something I've heard a lot. But, this time it was true! He came with his two older daughters and stayed all three hours. Afterwards in his home he just kept saying how much he loves the church and how he's visited so many churches that he doesn't like. He apparently had already talked it up so much to his wife that she decided to come out and we had our first lesson with the both of them together. We already love them so much. I know that they're going to progress and get baptized. The Lord is merciful!
So the mission is the best. There's a lot of work to get done here, and many changes that I want to see here in Morazán before I go. I pray that the Lord in His mercy grants me to stay and to see these things happen. But if not, then He's in charge, and I'll do what He wants me to do. He'll take care of the rest.
Love you all.
