Hey y'all,

Transfers are this week so that is why I'm writing a day later. Don't worry though, Elder Dean and I are still together here in the blessed land of Lake Butler.

The work is really coming along. This last week was amazing! We had some real good lessons with investigators. One being with a household of about 10 people. Talk about stressful! We went with a young man in the ward and had everyone on a different level of spirituality. Luckily the spirit took over and loosened our mouths and gave us the words to speak, but long story short it was a two hour discussion. Basically we taught all the discussions in one and we committed them all to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. This included a man who used to go to church, but claimed to be atheist. We committed him too. He has created a whole list of questions for us next time. The whole family had lost hope in him ever believing in God again for how standoffish he was. But look at him now! He recognized that we were disciples of Christ and he told the rest of his family that they need to shape up and listen to what we have to say and then do things we ask. 

Our investigator Kelvin wasn't able to get baptized this last week or this following week sadly because he's been working in Miami and the interview process for his baptism is taking longer than usual. Oh well, all in due time of the Lord I guess...

We finally bucked up and asked a woman that we've been doing service for lately if she'd take the discussions. She's really good friends with the bishop's wife. She accepted and we then taught her the first discussion, invited to read and pray about the Book of Mormon, AND she accepted baptism for October 25th woo hoo! We ran over to the Bishop's house to tell them all that happened and they couldn't even believe it. They seriously thought we were joking.... :( She has some big obstacles to overcome by then, so we will see how it goes, but at least she's reading and praying and wanting to get her son to get involved with a church.

The miracles go on and on, I can't even name them all. Through fasting, prayers do get answered and the Lord works in mysterious ways some times.

Life is good today.... Take care now y'all. And may God bless ya.
