Hey! This week has been crazy. Pretty crazy.
So we have 3 new bapismal dates, which puts us at 9 baptismal dates total. Our new investigator Bao Ping, and his wife Selena, and also their daughter, we taught them the first lesson (actually, I taught them,pretty scary, because I was on exchanges with an English-speaking elder) and invited them to be baptized, before I even ended the sentence. 你愿意效法耶稣基督的榜样让持有圣旨权柄得人为你洗礼吗？ Don't try to translate that, but that's the invitation to baptism. I asked them to be baptized on May 11th, and they said, no. The reason they said no was because it was "too far away" and so they said they wanted to be baptized April 27th. They really want to learn and are willing to commit, it's really quite amazing. They wanted to meet more than once a week, so I suggested twice a week would be suitable to prepare them for the 27th of April, and they said no, 4 times a week. Well... we can't do 4 times a week, too much. But we are willing to for twice a week.
In other news, the "G"' family are moving along pretty well I guess, some of them won't be able to be baptized April 13, they haven't come to church some of them, so we are working closely with them making sure that they are going to be ready on that day.
We were supposed to go to the temple yesterday with Sophie and her family, but she got unfortunate news saturday night from Taiwan that her grandmother was dying, so she went to Sacrament meeting (seriously) and then went to the airport for a flight at 2 PM. What faith she has! It's amazing. She will be back in 2 weeks time, and then at that time we will continue to work with her.
So I'm pretty much not getting transferred at all this transfer, probably next transfer I will be transferred up to the Dublin branch in the pleasanton area with Elder Fisher. Sounds good to me.
So yes, pray for all of our investigators, we need the help, and we need the prayers. 9 is a pretty large load for a pair of missionaries.
Love you all,
Have a good week,
Elder Sanchez
