week of 7-14-14

Well, we had to wait an extra day for the letter because Elder Williams had to take Elder Poblete to Quadalajara for transfers.  It was a 5-6 hour bus ride each way.  They didn't get back to Vallarta until 12:30 AM.  I know that Elder Williams is REALLY sad about losing Elder P.!  He and Elder P. were very good friends!  His new companion is Elder Lagunas. 

"He's from Mexico City.  He has 13 months on the mission and he is really.....  serious?  I guess I have to get used to him first." 

Hopefully Elder Williams' fun loving personality will rub off on Elder Lagunas.

"My investigators are progressing very nicely.  Nancy is still reading the BoM with her husband and she is ready to be baptized.  She has her date for the 9th.  She is really excited and she is very happy to see her family being blessed.  No new investigators but the husband of Nancy could be a great new investigator when he comes to church.  The hard thing here is that no one is giving us referrals.  We are trying to find [some] but no one gives [us any].....  I'm really excited to be here and to have a blast my last 7 weeks."

Keep Elder Williams in your prayers.  We still don't have an official itinerary, but his official release date is September 1st!  Have a great week!
