Parker - October 30

Hey everyone!

So yeah, we´ve actually had a good week, especially compared to last week. 

So I´ll start with why I´m on a lot earlier this week than normal. It´s cuz we have a district activity planned, but all the stuff that we want to do is only open in the afternoon. Sorry, I won´t have pics of it for you guys right now, but I´ll try to get them sent fairly soon. 

And yeah, so we´ve finally started to have some success here. We finally got to talk with an investigator who´s been coming to church, we just haven´t been able to actually sit down and talk to her. She´s the niece of a member who´s the only member of his family who´s Mormon. She´s 8 and wants to be baptized, but her mom thinks she´s too young, so we need to talk with her more and get her to give permission. 

Then the next day, we went to another town in our area called Campo Quijano. It was gonna be the last time we went if we didn´t get any success. But lo and behold, as we were walking around a neighborhood, we felt like we should talk to some people standing outside a house and we managed to find six new investigators. They´re really excited to learn more. At first, they were just interested in getting us on their radio show to talk about different religions, but then they actually got interested as we began to answer their questions. 

Then, the next day, we went to Cafayate to do baptismal interviews. Got a silent version of the 2017 Mummy film on the bus ride. Couldn´t hear it, so no opinion. The interviews went well.

When we got back we went to a Church activity and found some more investigators! Now, this requires backstory. So there´s a recent convert here who´s family basically hates her for getting baptized. But somehow, her sister and husband came to this activity. So we sat with them and answered their questions. And they became more and more interested as we were talking. And so now we´re gonna visit them and teach them. 

And on Sunday, we finally got this one investigator to come to church. She was a Seventh-day Adventist, so getting her to church on Sunday was hard. But she finally went and loved it. Then in the evening we visited them and we finally managed to get her to commit to a baptismal date, she seems way more excited now than ever before, so that´s awesome. 

And yeah, that was basically our week. Things are going great here.

I love all you guys,

Elder Blaylock
