Hello Again! (8/10/10)

Hey fam!

Well we are doing pretty well here. Vilma's kid's birthday is the 28th so she won't be able to get baptized that day. (Her other kid's birthday is the 14th, how weird, huh?) So she asked if she could move her baptism to the 21st. Ummm.... YES! :D We've seen a really big change in her, we're excited to see her progress. She's doing really good and is pretty pumped for her baptism. We've got someone for the 2th (an old lady named Elida that read 300 pages in the book of mormon in a week and a half) but I'm not sure she'll make it this month. We'll see.

We have a conference with Elder Arnold next Wednesday - he's the new area president. We're pretty excited.

My comp decided we are doing a zone fast this week to get our zone goal of 20 baptisms this month. The day he chose? Saturday. Huzzah.

We had a high councilman come to our ward sunday, he said something that really hit me. He said that we shouldn't judge ever. He was talking specifically about humanitarian aid and the canned-food mormons that Pres Uchtdorf talked about. Then he said that "In the 5,000 people that Christ fed on the mount, he knew that some of them would later join in the cry of "crucify him". But he still fed them." WOW! I'm sure he got that from a GA talk, but I really liked it. Super true.

Dad: would you be up to staying until tuesday the 4th? That way we can do a family home evening on monday and go to the temple on tuesday. Also give us some leeway as far as visits and trunky shopping. I'm still confused about saturday as well... that's the day we'll go visit my last area, but I don't know which area that is yet. We'll just plan on booking a deo hotel for that night as well. The trinidad/florida hotel idea is good, I think that's the only instance it will work though. They're close enough that it would work (like an hour and a half in car).

Well I love you guys, TTYL!
