Trent

Excerpts from family letters...

It's going great! This week was a lot better! We found some good people and we got a sweet investigator in church named Sebastian. He's 27 and he's really interested in the gospel. This week was stake conference which was in downtown Neuquen a little far away but he came anyways! We are both really excited to keep teaching him. We haven't been able to teach him very many times though because he works a lot but the next time we get in his house we are going to invite him to be baptized in the 23rd of June! We're gonna do everything we can to help him arrive and find many others too. We have a family of Bolivianos that has 6 people that are the age of baptism but we are struggling getting them to commit. But I'm gonna keep praying hard and fasting so that the powers of heaven come down and touch their hearts and give them desire!

Yes, dad I am trying to be very bold and loving like you said! This week we improved a lot on that! Many of the investigators that the missionaries had here were more like friends and less like investigators so I felt really uncomfortable trying to be bold and commit them because we didn't have that kind of relationship, but I decided that obviously their salvation is a lot more important than making them feel maybe a little uncomfortable so we were really bold with all of them. We saw who was in and who wasn't. My comp is a lot better now! We are working hard together and now he's really onboard. He's been here for a long time without success so he kind of lost his faith but now he's motivated and ready to go!

The Gospel really does give us a very different perspective on the world. And that perspective influences every decision that we make. It's such a blessing. It always helps us stay on the right path! I love sharing the Gospel with others and telling them how it will help their lives! It's hard being rejected so much but it's the best thing I've ever done! LOVE YOU guys! Hope that all is well!

LOVE the idea about Rhett coming here. It sounds a little crazy but im gonna talk to my mission President about it and see what he thinks. Till next week!
