July 29, 2013 - Matola

This week was nice,
     Yesterday President Kretly dedicated the new chapel and we had 4 complete families and in total 16 investigators at church! We are trying super hard to open 2 marriage processes this week and we have a family getting baptized this weekend. Our area is going super nice. We also have 30 references to contact this week and we just got one from a member that his sister and brother-in- law are super interested, have no church, are married in the register, and loved the open house! I love Matola!
   This week me and Elder Fontes started something called a 40 day attitude or behavior fast. So you fast for one day about things you can do or change to have the spirit more. Then you write a list - we did personal lists and one as a companionship - and every morning you promise to try your best to do or avoid all the things on your lists in your prayers and ask for help. Then every night you go over your list and report on how you did and how you can change and thank for the help the Lord gave you. It is super hard, but I am already feeling a difference.
   Samuel and Maria - we found them like 2 weeks ago but they are super prepared - we talked about documents and marriage with them and then we were super busy with the open house and lost our phone and didn’t get to visit them for like days and when we went back they had all of their documents sitting on their table asking what they needed to do next!! I was blown away! Getting documents is a lot of work.
    Well I love you guys and am glad everything went well at the reunion. Tell Anne to send me tons of pics of my new nephew when he comes. Did they decide on Hyrum as a name?
