My week has been pretty good! I got some pretty awesome news
on Wednesday!!! Gloria and her family decided to be baptized!!! They got
baptized this last Sunday!! I was super excited to hear that and I wish I could
have been there!! Elder Wright promised to send me some pictures!! Gloria, her
daughter Elizabeth and Elizabeth's son, Angel were all baptized!!! I didn't
find out that they baptized the son as well until Sunday!! I'm still freaking
out about it!! Triple generation!!! I'm so happy for them, and I'm super glad I
was able to play a part in getting them to where they are now!!!
The work down here is pretty slow since the whole city has
pretty much been tracted, we do a lot of service and less active work!
We are teaching this really awesome guy named Sandy, I might
have already told you about him, but he is a really intelligent guy! He
believes Joseph Smith was a prophet and that The Book of Mormon is true, but he
is trying to get the answer if he should get baptized or not. One of his
biggest things he likes about our church is our name, The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints. The reason he likes it is because it shows that we
don't just study and think about the Jesus who created this earth or the Jesus
who atoned for our sins, but we believe and preach about the same Jesus who is
alive today and is still teaching us through a prophet today! He was tell us
how cool that was that a lot of people when they think of "Jesus of
old", but we teach is "Jesus today"! It's awesome to think
about!! That we have a living and loving brother in heaven that still leads and
guides his church today!!!
Anyways love you guys a bunch!! sorry not very many pictures
the computer I'm on is the worst!!
Elder Allen
