So good news! The church made a contract with Google, so our new MyLDSMail is powered by google! As a result of the change, my email has been changed to steven.thorderson@myldsmail.net
Well we are pretty much rocking it. We are still working with incomplete families, but we have three now... that's three definite baptisms this change. There is also a pretty golden investigator we found on an exchange with the zone leaders. Karina lives next door to a member (also Karina) that she has known since they were kids. She's pretty much a member... she has a garden, she handmade an oven (wood oven, basically a mound of muddy horse poop) and is really nice. She's recently divorced and her 12 year old son lives with her. They have a really good relationship as mother/son. She was really acceptive when we taught her about Joseph Smith and read most of the pamphlet. We went back (Elder Polera and I) and we gave her a Book of Mormon. We really focused on the blessings of the Book of Mormon (Jeffery R. Holland never bore testimony of the veracity of the BoM without testifying of the peace it brings to the soul. :D ) and when Elder Polera was bearing his humble testimony she cried. It was a really powerful lesson. She promised to read 3 Nephi 11 as soon as we left - we are kinda hoping that she is done with 3 Nephi by the time we visit her Wednesday. Really awesome lady.
We have a pretty awesome family home evening planned for tonight - with the Libonatti family. Valentina is 9 and wants to get baptized. The other two daughters go to church, but the mom, dad, and son are inactive. But we are going to have a good lesson with them. We think that she is going to get baptized on the 27th. We might have to push it back to the 6th depending on how dedicated the dad is. We'll see.
Well, that's all for now. Love you all!
