Week 20

hey everyone,
 
This week was really great! So we were able to meet with our investigators everyday this week. Since they are all young, I played a lot of ping pong this week so im getting better! And Ive converted to holding the paddle in the "asian way" that I used to make fun of... haha its so much easier! On Tuesday, we went looking for less actives. Our branch president gave us a huge stack of less actives to find so we started this week. We spent the whole day walking up hills and apartments trying to find but a lot of them moved and the new people dont know where they moved. We found 18 houses that day! but out of those 18 houses only about 5 lived there. and out of those 5, 2of them wouldn't even talk to us, 1 didn't answer the door(we heard the sink turn off when we knocked) and 1 of them wasn't home. BUT, 1 of them was busy and said that we could come back and he would want to talk to us! Such a blessing! We will head back over there sometime this week! that took all day, but it actually paid off! hopefully at least one can come back to church, hopefully all will come back!
     later on in the week we did some activities with our youth which was good because i dont really know them that well yet. Our investigators were there too and they seem to be more and more comfortable with the youth in our branch.
     Yesterday on Sunday, one investigator came to church and brought his dad's bible with him. The zone leaders gave him a triple combination and then taught him a lesson while me and elder day were in sunday school. They taught him about baptism and then asked him to be baptized... He accepted!! He will be baptized on the 22nd of December! perfect, just in time for Christmas! Oh man Im so happy for him! hes awesome!
Hope Y'all have a good week! christmas is almost coming up!
