Baptism!

heddyt got baptised!! so in my letter last week i talked about heddyt and how she was very firm in getting baptised in december because it is a special month to her! well we talked to her and convinced her that thanksgiving is also a special day! so she said that she would be baptised this sunday so that she could be confirmed on thanksgiving! super funny because here that isnt even a holliday! it was such an amazing experience to see her get baptised! her husband did like 1 month and a half ago and her son like a month ago and now her! it is so awesome to watch how they have changed and continue to do so! its awesome to see they make the changes nesesary in their lives to go to the temple and be sealed!! they are now working on getting a date to go and do that! we are so excited for them!

right now we are working on two families to get them to come back to church! and it was so awesome because they both did yesterday!! i was so happy! one of the two families has children that need to be baptised to so it will be awesome to see them change that in their lives! 

on the retaining factor we can not get this one recent convert to come back... his name is nauhel and he is 15! he is so very nice and loves talking with us and always says he is going to come but then never does... we have had young men go by and invite him but still nothing... i feel like were kind of at a road block with him... were not quite sure what to do... so if you have any ideas we would love the help!! 

one message that i took away from every thing this week is that we all have things that we need to change and we need to use the atonment of jesus christ to make those changes! through jesus christ it makes making those changes not only possible but worth our while! and i know that we will not regret, if its through jesus christ what we change!
