ok so i just wrote this letter and had about 3 sentences more to write and my time went out. so sorry if this letter is a little shorter this week. i dont have the patience slash time to rewrite everything. so this week was crazy. Friday we went to Claudios and his very catholic mother was very against him getting baptised. but when we left he still was planning on getting baptised. saturday morning when we went to pick him up he wasnt there. his mom said he went away and told us to leave. his phone was turned off. we still have not been able to make contact with him. it was very sad. but that just means that he wasnt ready. we still had a little meeting for all the people that came to the baptism. but i learned alot because of this experience. his week we got an amazing new investigator. very nice normal man. he has been prepared for the gospel. he came to english class coming to learn english but really liked the spirit he felt. he has been out of work for 3 years and has 2 sons. his wife left him along time ago so he raised his sons. we taught him last thursday the first and then yesterday the 2nd. he hasnt read the book of mormon but he has felt the spirit very strong. yesterday my companian invited him to be baptised when he gains a testimony. he accepted. it was such a miracle. He has been prepared by god and his angels. it is such miracle! i know God is in this work and this is His work. Ok last cool experience. yesterday we were in the park doing english class publicity and were were talking to these three 16 year old boys. after about 3 minutes talking to them they had atleast 10 other 16 year old boys come over to join them. we started talking to them and after about 5 minutes i asked if they were religious then they asked me what our church was and i got to teach the restoration to about 7 of them. it was so neat. they were all in a little circle just listenig so intently and asking questions. when i got to the book of mormon they asked how much they cost and i said they are free. some of the boys wanted this book and we didnt even have enough for the ones that wanted them. it was so neat. and then one inparticular who seemed so interested we got his number and hopefully we can see him next week. it was such a cool experience. People are ready for the gospel everywhere. i just need to have the faith to be lead to them. it was like a dream coming true teaching to these young men the thing that mattters most to me in my life. well i know this gospel is true and i am so so so grateful for this opportunity. i love you all. transfers are next week. hopefully i am still here with anziano patrick. bye!
