Brett-June 2, 2008

So its been an interesting week. It's also transfer week...the bus leaves tomorrow morning to head north and then heads back down south on Wednesday. Wednesday we're driving to Odessa to meet the transfer bus. Elder Brandon is getting transferred to San Angelo where my buddy from the MTC Elder Coy is. It's too bad that he's leaving cuz we've got a ton going on right now. Yesterday at fast and testimony meeting we had 6 investigators at church and 2 of them got up and bore their testimony. The first one, Mary Helen, she started coming to church a few week's ago but her husband won't let us come over and teach her. So we've been teaching her at church. She got up and said she knows the church is true...I was so excited. As soon as we finish teaching her she'll be baptized. The second, Victoria Herndon, she's our branch president's son's girlfriend. We met her a couple days before her and Jr started dating and she is way set on getting baptized. She got up and said that she's beginning to know that the church is true but she just wants a little more time before she gets baptized. I can see it happening this transfer. Jr decided this weekend that he wants to serve a mission too...he's been struggling for the last year and it was so exciting to hear him say he's going to start his papers. We have one more investigator that is for sure getting baptized this transfer. Frank Pietro, he's in his 40's and has pancreatic cancer. I'm not sure if its terminal but he's super excited about getting baptized. He's got a strong testimony and a lot of faith. He was out of town yesterday or I'm sure he would have given his testimony too. I feel bad that Elder Brandon has to leave as soon as we start having success. Oh well I'm excited for the next six weeks. Love y'all a ton!! Hope all is good in Vegas. I hope its not too hot there...its about 115 today. I'm dying!! Well I gotta get going have a good week.
