Hello Family!
Thanks for the package, I live like 10 minutes from the office, so, they brought it over to me right when it came. This week was awesome, we set a baptismal date with Wolfgang. He is way super excited. When we asked him if he wanted to be baptized, he told us that he definitely wanted to, he said that he thought he had to do something special before he could be baptized. He pulled out his calendar and asked when he could get baptized. We told him whenever he wanted, so, he picked out November the 12th. After that he asked to go and stand in the Baptismal Font. He stood in there and then looked around and said, "3 weeks and I´ll be a member of the Chuch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." He was so happy. Right after that, Pepper called us. She´s the one that was baptized like 4 weeks ago. She said she wanted to meet Wolfgang, so she came over to the Church and talked to him for like 45 minutes. He told her how he was worried he wouldn´t be able to give up smoking (He used to smoke a couple of packs a day, now he only smokes 1 cigarette a day) Pepper told him that he could easily do it, she told him how she used to smoke Marijuana with her friends every week and she said that as long as he read and prayed every day he would be able to stop smoking. It was way cool to see them talk to one another. Pepper also told us that she´s planning on going on a mission. She said that every time she thinks about it, it just feels right, so she scheduled a meeting with our Branch President to see what she needs to do to prepare to be a missionary. It´s so cool seeing how much the gospel has changed both of their lives. Other than that awesome experience, not much happened this week. It´s starting to get cold... and I hate the cold, so, I guess we need to find a bunch of investigators so that we teach the entire winter haha. The work is going well here, thanks for everything that you
have done for me! I´m doing awesome and having a blast!
