Always laughing about something

Hosford Family,

Sorry about writing a little later this week. I finally found some time to shoot off a letter. I thought things would be a little more calm and slow this week.  I has been but somehow we have been busy. Things here are going as usually. Always between investigators. I really enjoy working with my new comp. We are a little too laid back, but we are working on it. We are doing good work. We are always laughing about something. I am also learning another language. I figured that while I am with him I might as well.  I don’t have anything to lose. The work is progressing here.

Last night we went over to the Castorina’s house and we taught the Word of Wisdom. They are all members except the son who is nine. However, we are working with the dad who has one little vice. He told us last night that if he doesn’t overcome it in December then he will have someone else perform the ordinance.  So December or January we should see a baptism that has been longer waited and expected.

We are still working with Nadia who is doing well.  Last week we taught the plan of salvation and as part of it, we read 1 Cor 6:18-20 which talks about our bodies and that we are bought with a price. After that we talked about the big tow commandments:  Word of Wisdom and the Law of Chastity and it’s real cool to see that light go off in their heads. She had a lot of misconceptions, but they were cleared up and she came to know that she needs to change. If she actually changes we will see.  I hope so.

We also have that less active from Peru (marybel) and her boyfriend Antonio. We had already seen him twice and so talked about the Plan of Salvation. Honestly he is ready. We invited him to be baptized.  Even though he didn’t respond yes/no he told us that he wanted to investigate more and to see a baptism. We also go to go and teach at their house which was nice. Here we teach a lot in church and its nice to go to people’s homes to talk. We hope to see more action out of them soon.

We still have old investigators that we are trying to see and we are slowly picking up new ones. We are also seeing good progress from others. We are doing a good job teaching a lot, we just need to set more baptismal dates and organize our appointments better. Other than that the work is going well.

Not much else going on here. Really there is a lot, but I am too lazy to write the rest cause it is a lot. Love everyone very much.  Send another letter soon.   - Mitchell
