Rain Story

Hello Family!

It's great that you all had a great time in Goblin Valley. I love that place sooo much. Can't wait until I can go again.

This last week was only alright. We tried really hard, but not much came from it, but we still felt pretty good.  Kenjay and Helbert were interviewed for their baptism yesterday, passed just find, all set for the baptism on Saturday.

So, rain story. this morning it started raining while I was showering, when we actually left the house it wasn't raining. While we were waiting for a Ceres it started raining lightly. Then I saw some guys pointing down the street. So I looked where they were pointing.  There was a wall of rain, and a man running in front of it, it was following him. As he ran the rain got to us, and it was hard. Instantly where we were standing, was a puddle.  No where to run. The wind was blowing the rain onto us, even under our umbrellas. Then it got so hard that it was coming through the umbrella. When we finally got on a bus we were soaked, which happens everytime it rains. So we got to our meeting and everyone asked, "What happened to you two? Shower ba?" And we told them our story.

Even though we only have so many investigators, the ones that we do have are progressing, almost all of them have baptismal dates, and are excited for them. So that makes me feel good.

Last night we taught Kenjay and Helbert endure to the end. We taught just fine, then I added how important I know it is. I told them about the less-active members we visit, or even those that I baptized, that aren't coming to church anymore, and how sad it makes me. For them, and that I won't see them in the celestial kingdom unless they return to activity. I hope they understood it, it seemed like they did.
Got (birthday) package. Elder Larsen said I should have gotten it last week, but he sent it to the wrong district. Thanks much!


Love you all!
