So this week was a super good one!

So— I posted the last two blogs out of order! This is actually last weeks email and the previous post is this weeks. Since I am new to this whole "blog" thing, I do not know how to edit it. Sorry!     CA

Hey!

So yeah, you are right mom. Elder L is gone. He just left right now. Hermano E the taxi driver came to pick him up and right after he left we came here. So now it is just Elder T and me here. It's going to be super weird! But it will be good. Elder T. is a good guy.

So this week was a super good one! Last week we received a reference from a member in that new area I told you we started working on. It is her friend that lives just across the street that she told us she has been preparing for years to receive the gospel. She has talked to her about it all the time and she has even taken her to Relief society activities and everything in the past. The sister's name is G. G's son was baptized when he was a teenager and always told her she should join the church and stuff but she never did. The missionaries before only taught him and never even talked to anyone else in the family. But her son died of a sickness at 29 and she was super sad about it and stuff and we have taught her about eternal families and she loves it! So we just found her last week. She lives with her husband, her daughter and her granddaughter. I still hadn't met the husband nor the daughter because the one time they were home we were on splits and Elder L went with N but that night they taught them about the conference and stuff and they invited them. they said they were super excited. But we weren't sure if they were going to go because of the distance but sure enough, yesterday morning a half and hour early they all four walk in with Hermana R and her family (the one that gave us the reference) but they didn't even come together. G and her family all came all on their own and were so excited! After the conference they told us that they LOVED it! And that they are going to be in church this next Sunday too. We have an appointment with them next Saturday because that is when R the husband is going to be there but G asked if we could also pass by during the week with the rest of the family so we are going to call her today and set that up and get N or someone else to go with us so we can teach them. But they are so pilas!!!!! They are such a special family!

Also, after conference we had planned to go with our elders quorum pres. Hermano J to contact one of his references that he gave us that he had contacted on the bus and had gone with his whole family to visit them a number of times and gave them all Books of Mormon and invited them to read it and everything. He is so amazing! So we called him and he told us he was already there visiting them so we went there and had a lesson with them. they were all already on 1 Nephi 19!!!! That is so nuts! So they are super amazing too! We have only visited them once though. We talked about baptism and invited them to baptism and they said that they would love too but they said they would have to have a little more time to think and pray about when and everything. So we are super excited about them. Alright, Gotta go! But i love you all SOOO much!!!!

Con amor,
Elder Welch
