Brett-June 23, 2008

So this past week has been awesome!! The weather cooled off a little bit but its been pretty humid and in the high 90's all week. Its still way hot!! But I got to get wet and cool off a little this weekend. We baptized and confirmed Frank this weekend. It was awesome. A lot of the members were out of town this weekend so there weren't a whole lot of people at the baptism or at church but its all good. All the Spanish members were at the baptism and we even had an investigator, Mary Helen, at the baptism. She wants to get baptized so bad but her husband is against the church and doesn't let her come to church sometimes. He's been starting to soften up a little bit lately and I think she'll be getting baptized pretty soon here. Our other solid investigator, Victoria, moved back with her family to Uvalde to be with their dad for the summer. So that's kind of a bummer that we don't get to work with her again until August. But we found a guy named Alfredo who we just got done teaching a first lesson to this morning. He recently got out of prison and is a recovering alcoholic and wants to change his life. We set a baptismal date with him and I've got a really good feeling about him. I love the work out here in Texas. There's nowhere else I'd rather be. The gospel truly blesses and changes lives. I'm so grateful that I can share the amazing plan that Heavenly Father has for us with everyone in West Texas. The church is true. I love y'all. Oh I almost forgot...I saw President and Sister Rose for the last time at Zone Conference this week. They're getting ready to go home at the end of the month. President Robison and his wife should be arriving on the 1st. Hopefully I'll get to meet him this transfer. President Rose is awesome and I'm going to miss him a lot. I only got to see him 4 times but I've learned a lot from him and really come to love him in the short time that I've known him. I'm excited for President Robison and what he's got to offer. Love y'all again.
