19 month mark, pretty crazy.
Okay, well another week to tell. It's been a great week. We had a lot of great success, and are helping our investigators progress!
To update you on some investigators progress:
Ellie and Ritta are doing well, Ellie has been really a bit distraught lately because she feels "internet pressure" to be baptized even though right now doesn't seem like to be the right time for her to be baptized.
Our investigator Owen that we found probably like in July of last year, he is 15, and from China is progressing really well. We had a really awesome lesson with him this past week, and we invited him to be baptized. He said he would! So his baptismal date is April 19.
Angela! So we contacted Angela in November, and our first lesson with her was right after I left Cupertino for Redwood City, so she is progressing so well. Her mom came from China and told her she doesn't need to be baptized, but her testimony is there, and she is so prepared. Her mom finally left back for China so Angela has officially come back to church. We had a lesson with her this past Friday, and invited her to make another Baptismal date. Her date is now April 12 of next month.
Christina McQuinn, the adopted girl from Huainan, Anhui China is getting baptized this weekend, after about 5 months of straight teaching, she is ready to be baptized, and just in time for her older brother to get his mission call. We will see pictures this weekend!
Finally, Sherry Chen, she's the best. One of the best investigators I've had so far. I think I told you a lot about her last week, she's 18 from China, going to DeAnza, she said she wasn't really that happy about a new Elder coming to meet her, but she has certainly warmed up to me in the past few weeks. It's been really awesome. She is progressing towards baptism really well, and she will probably be baptized April 12 as well along with Angela. She's just too nice of a girl. She wears (prescription mind you) glasses that are the lenses with like cat ears on the top. it's really cool.
Those are our more progressing investigators right now. We have a lot lot lot of them coming out of the woodwork right now, we have about 30 people steadily meeting with us, at least once a month. 20 of them are once a week. We pretty much got a new investigator this week named Melvina, she is a formers daughter, she is also 18 years old and just awesome.
That's about it for me this week.
Love you all,
(Rachel and Matt, welcome to the best place on earth: Silicon Valley, if you move to the Southern part of Santa Clara, you will see me every sunday in the same ward building, that'd be pretty weird)
