Busy Week

This week was a busy one!!! At English class this week we had like 15+ new people show up that we needed to teach gospel intros to and it was crazy!!! We had to split up and take a bunch at a time! But we got some really great new investigators from it so i am way excited! Like half of them already have a Christian background, which is SOOOO WEEEIIRRDD!! we had to completely change up our teaching style when we found out b/c normally our fist lesson is just explaining who God and Jesus are so it's been interesting to try and switch things up a bit! But it's been fun! This week our investigator, B. Ooh had his baptismal interview and passed!!! YAAAAYYY!!!! He will be getting baptized this Saturday and i couldn't be more excited!! He has completely changed his life around and we have just seen soooo much progress with him! And he now wants us to start teaching his brothers here really soon, which is so great!! I am soo excited for him!! Ok so this week we are trying to help get some activities going for our YSA investigators and members so I need some ideas for fun games, activities, etc. to help get things going!! Most of our investigators are all in the YSA range but it's so hard to get them all to be friends w/ the members the same age and such so we are just trying to make it so they can all at least meet each other and have friends in the branch when they come to church and stuff, so any ideas are helpful!! :) This week we taught Eve the Word of Wisdom and it was soooo funny! We were explaining to her that we had a law for our health and such and the first thing she said was "can you not eat pork???!!" Sooo concerned, and getting us mixed up w/ islam.... but that's ok... the best part about it though, was her aunt had just given us some food that we were eating... that had pork in it!! hahaha But she is sooo cute and she is so willing to do our commitments! Now for Gap... he is SOO GREEATT!! we went over and taught him this week and he is now in 2 Nephi.... for the THHHIIIRRRDD Time!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!! I seriously just cannot believe this kid! He is so ready to be baptized! We are still just working on getting his whole family up to speed, but he is being such a great example to them! I love it! They are all so great!! We also have a new investigator B. Jack, and he is SOO GOOODD!! We met him teaching english at the technical college and i have wanted to teach him since we met him like 2 months ago but now we are and he is great! he came to church this week and just loved it and ya he is just awesome! Well I love being a missionary!! It's the best thing ever!!! Hope everything is going good at home!! Love you all! Love, S. Itri
