Sorry it has been a little bit since I wrote, just had a lot of letters to get to last week. So this week we had a pretty exceptional week for sacrament meeting attendance. We had 9 investigators show up to church. 6 of them were ours and 3 of them were the sister's investigators. Yeah things are pretty good out here. So a quick account on all the investigators, first off we have Sister Hoddnett. The Hoddnett family is a part member family. The dad was baptized in Utah and Sister Hoddnett was not baptized out there. She just has a lot of questions that most other people couldn't give her answers that satisfied her but she said she was willing to go through he lessons again. She likes to go pretty quick and deep so I can see how most other people would have a hard time teaching her because it can be hard to keep up with the fast paced lessons. In two lessons that each took about an hour and a half each we finally were able to get through the plan of salvation and she loved it. She is very receptive to spirits and all that stuff so talking about the spirit world was great for her, and being able to do work for the dead made her so happy. She said she could always feel so much strong spirits around the temples and now she knows why.
We also have the Shaffers, they are doing great as usual. On Sunday we had a lesson about ghosts, because they asked about it and, why not? They are getting so close to baptism, it is so cool to work with them.
Duk is being a Duck. We have not been able to see him at all this week so we are not to sure how he is doing, but he is scheduled for baptism on the 29th, we hope we can get that to work out still. But last we checked he is free from smoking.
We also have the Jamison family, they are relatively new, they showed up to church twice now, we have not been able to teach them but they have just loved church and are super exited to take the lessons, more on them later.
We also started working with a guy named Axel. Axel got into some trouble lately and he feels like the Lord humbled him and that he had his eyes opened and he wants his life to change now. so we are working with him to get back on the right course. Man we are getting so blessed here by so many people to see and help, we can hardly keep up with all of it, mostly because of mile restrictions. We have used 700 miles this month already and we only get 1100... so not sure how this is going to work out. Well I thank you again for all your prayers and love. Only 101 more days until I am home, not that I am counting.

Love The Bandit!
