Baptisms!

    This week has gone really well. We are so excited for Montse- the wife of a member (Noel). She already passed her interview and we are now just preparing for a beautiful baptism. We are really excited.  We met her just a few weeks ago-they had moved into the ward not to long ago. More about Miguel- we have taught him quite a few times. He had had many spiritual experiences before- so he felt right at home hearing about Joseph Smith. We have a new investigator that is a bit strange and apparently (according to brothers in our ward) lies about his whole life to try to seem like an acclaimed professor. We also didn't feel too comfortable in his house after he shared an experience of some dream he had- so we decided not to go back. He came to church. He sat down in gospel principles and began to ask questions about the "secrets of the church." We explained that there aren't any secrets- just sacred things that we would like everyone to be worthy to know. He continued. So Miguel-our other investigator- "empezo a planchar." (it's like setting someone straight with the heat of an iron-ironing them out) Basically he told this guy to stop asking questions and that the missionaries could tell him everything he needed. He began to tell him everything he had learned from us. Although I don't like it when people tell others off in public venues- I was happy that Miguel was protecting his new found beliefs :D Strange right? (And we won't be going back with Gabriel-we tried to be kind and pick up the pieces afterwards-but I think he was offended-and we weren't exactly up and ready to go back to visit him) In that same class an investigator that we had left (Caren) came! She hadn't come in like a month! Out of the blue she was there and asking how she could be baptized. God is the best.
   Things are going great. I had a good fast. 
The district is doing well. We're working towards goals and learning together. I think we're getting some good things done, and we're excited to learn more in the zone training meeting tomorrow.
    We have some other baptism dates coming up-and hopefully we can find a lot of new investigators this week-we'll be working on that. HERE COME ANOTHER WEEK IN THE MISH (mission)! OH YEAH! TIME TO GET TO WORK!
Love,
Elder Dazey
