In our area, we have close baptisms, everytime the investigator goes
to church for 3 or 4 times they dont want anymore and we ask them, do
you have any questions? and they usually say no, but really they have
problems and a lot of questions that they dont want to ask and they
feel like they aren't getting any where, because they aren't reading
and praying to find out if all we teach is true, then they find a
different church that does everything for them, they read for them,
they pray for them, they share their understanding of the Bible and
the people believe that this is how Jesus ran his church, but we know
that this life isn't easy, we need to study, ponder, and pray and God
will reveal unto us an answer and this is our testimony that no one
can tell us other wise, because it is of God.

Jose Maria isn't progessing anymore, we came to the point of the
Sabbath day and baptism, he mentions that the Bible says the Sabbath
day is on Saturday, because it really does say its on Saturday, but we
explained that when Jesus Christ died he came back to his Apostles and
changed the day to Sunday in rememberence of his resurrection and when
we explained this he didnt accept it, I believe he thought that we
didnt read the Bible before, then another day he said he couldnt get
baptized twice and so I believe, we'll be praying and fasting a lot
for him to have the Holy Ghost testify to him that what we are
teaching is true. Cindy is great, but she doesnt read, but she started
to pray, but before she was like I can't change, because I was born
into the world with no religion of any type so she feels separated
from God, but we will help her stay on this path!

Wow! I hope I can meet the Larsons if I am not in a different area
far away, it would be an awesome experience to meet them! Luck! you

how the next trip comes out. I hope everything goes good with your new
job and that you have tons of fun! I love you all for your support and
