Week 55 - Bowling Green


Hola mi familia!

This week has been great. I absolutely love it here. I'm so excited for this transfer and the upcoming months here in Kentucky. This week has had its ups and downs, but overall just great.

So for the down side, we have an investigator, Luis, who was supposed to get baptized this past Friday. But the day of his baptismal interview, some leaders from his church passed by to see him at work. They basically taught a lot of false things to him. One was that he had already received all the ordinances that all churches require and that because he was no longer going to their church, that was the reason for his girlfriend leaving and taking their kids. It really scared him and he doesn't want to be baptized anymore. Or At least he wants more time. We tried to teach him the authority and we brought up acts 19: 1-6 with him. We felt the spirit testify to him that it was true and it clicked in his eyes, that it really does matter how you get baptized, but he then denied it. So we are going to give him a little more time, but we are both feeling that if he continues how he is, we are going to have to put a pause on him for awhile. We feel it to be the best for him. But that's it with the sad. 

The good news this week is we have found a lot of cool people! We have been trying to sift through the list of investigators that we have and we've been able to cut it down. 

We also had a couple great lessons with the ramirez family. It is a single mom who was baptized 20 years ago and doesn't really know why. She has two kids, 13 and 9, who are both investigators now. They are the coolest. They had been taught the first lesson and we taught them the plan of salvation on Friday. At the end of the lesson, I felt that we should set a baptismal date with them. I also felt that there was no need to wait. So we set a date with the two kids for the 15th of September! So not this Friday, but the next. They are pretty excited about it, and we are going to be working with them daily to make sure they reach their goal. But it's going to be great!

Elder Hamilton is really awesome! He's super humble and really wants to improve! I already love him so much. I'm excited for the time here with him. He's originally from Colorado, lived in California for awhile and then two months before he came out his family moved to American fork. They live right across the street from the temple. So really close to us. He's been out for one less transfer than me, but we should be going home about the same times because of the start time of byu. He did gymnastics and dance in high school so he's a very high energy kid. We get along really well so far. And I'm excited to see what I can learn from him. 

Love yall!

Have a great week!
