Good Week

Dear Friends and Family:

We had a good week again. We're still working on getting the area up and running, but we've got a few solid investigators we're working with now. They were both miracles in how we found them. I'll explain that a little later.

All three investigators that we had in sacrament were miracle people that we weren't expecting. Two of them are kids, one of which is in a part-member family. We're trying to meet with the parents/guardians for them to get them coming to church and preparing for baptism.

And the third person in church in a man named Christian. He seemed like a member at first, and apparently he has been going to church on and off for the last five years, but he had never been baptized. We invited him to be baptized this next week, and he accepted. We're going to go tour the temple tonight with him, and we'll probably have the baptismal interview tomorrow. But he's already decided who he wants to perform the baptism, and who he wants to perform and stand in on the confirmation. He was a miracle, but I've never before had a miracle that has required so little maintenance. We've already gone over the baptism interview questions in a mock interview, and he pretty much doesn't have a problem with anything.

Another person that I want to talk about, even though he didn't come to church, is Hayward W. Elder Kwon and Elder Reno found him together while on exchanges. They both said it was the most "perfect" harvest blessing they have ever had, like it was scripted. He didn't come to church because of a miscommunication on our part. We've had two lessons so far, but he has been one of the most elect investigators I've ever taught as well.

God is providing so many people for us to teach. I can't wait to keep working and finding and teaching more and more! And I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve now in Fort Lauderdale.

I'm excited to hear about all of the changes to the house. I don't really remember what it looked like, for the most part, so it was going to look pretty new to me too.

Have any of you seen Meet the Mormons? You should go and see it. I can't, because it's in theaters and we're not allowed to go. But I've heard it's amazing.

Thanks,

Elder Slade
