Best Week

Dear friends and family:

Elder Storm and I had one of the best weeks we have had together. Our key indicators were well-rounded, without huge imbalances. One of the things we were happy that we were able to do was to get standards in member-present lessons and new investigators.

Our district leader, Elder Chiparro, has been pretty sick for the last week or so, and so on Thursday we went on a quick exchange with them so that his companion could go out and work their area a little bit. The next day, on Friday, we had apartment inspections. (We passed, don't worry.)

This Sunday, we had several families committed to come to church. One is a part-member family. Mikerlange was baptized over a year and a half ago, when I first came into the area. Since then she has gone inactive. Now, she has a nine-year-old daughter who has never been baptized. When we went to visit her, we discovered this and are now working to help her be baptized. Mikerda, her daughter who is preparing for baptism, is extremely intelligent. We committed her to read the introduction in the Book of Mormon. When we came back and asked her about it, she proceeded to describe in great detail what went on the first six chapters, going into a lot of detail. Unfortunately, she and her family were not able to come to church due to their ride falling through. (Our fault, not theirs.)

As well, we were able to help Lusane and Jonal come to church. We stopped by their apartment complex and had Jonal follow us in their own car. They loved sacrament meeting, but unfortunately had to leave afterwards because Lusane had to go to work.

Thanks,

Elder Slade
