Well, this last week was an interesting week. We didn't have much success until Sunday night. We mostly biked around this week trying to contact people, and didn't have a whole lot of success. Though we did have a less active recent convert call us and ask if she could start taking the new member lessons again and come back to Church, which of course we agreed to. She said she had a stronger and stronger feeling that she needed to come back.
Also, we have been teaching the Baeza's a lot, and they are progressing very well. The whole family of five wants to be baptized, but the parents have to quite smoking. We introduced the mission's stop smoking program to them and gave them blessings, and we fasted for them this last Sunday. They also all came to Church, so I am very excited. They are an awesome family, that really need the Gospel in their lives.
Besides that, when we got home on Sunday, our bikes had been stolen! Unfortunately, we had not chained them up, because where we park them is so well hidden, but I guess we learn from our mistakes. I am really sorry, that is why there is a $200 withdrawal from my checking acount, I have to buy a new one from an older Spanish missionary (Spanish missionaries never ride their bikes). We will be locking them in the closet under our apartment from now on. Members do come to our lessons by the way, mostly because we are bike missionaries, and they do a great job fellowshipping investigators at Church. This area is pretty amazing with things like that. Well, that is all for this week, I hope you guys are safe and happy. I'm praying for all of you.
