Fam!
Sorry I wasn't able to write a letter last week. Things got busy and I didn't get the time. I will be at my bishops on Sunday to skype. I will have Sister Jacox call mom to set everything up.
The last two weeks have flown by way fast. We've basically just been trying to figure the area out and meet the members. The missionaries that have served here over the last year haven't been very impressive. Our ward mission leader had requested that the area be white washed with two new missionaries to get the work started up again. So when he found out we came in he was pretty excited.
We currently have one investigator named Jennifer Lopez. Haha yeah I know. She's 17 and is a friend of one of the daughters of the Mitchell family in our ward. She has had some lessons with the missionaries before. Her parents are a traditional mexican catholic family. And they haven't been very supportive of her getting baptized until she's 18. Sound familiar??? She turns 18 in August but graduates high school this month & will be attending the U of U in the fall. She loves the mormon culture. And wants to be baptized. She just needs to be more open with her parents about it. Sister Mitchell is going to talk to her mom about everything because they are good friends and have talked about it before. Her birthday is about 2 weeks before she would head to school, and we feel like it would be good to be baptized a few months earlier to get into the habits that you need to have as an active member of the church. We have taught the Restoration and another lesson on baptism. Comparing the Book of Mormon to the Bible and their doctrine concerning it. She's super elect and prepared. It will happen, just a matter of time.
We have met some cool members though. It's a gold mine that hasn't been cracked in about a year. Hopefully some good stuff happens!
I gotta get running now. See ya on Sunday!!
Love y'all
Elder Ethan Miles
