6/4/12

This past week was awesome. We decided to start getting our muscles warmed up for when we have no car so we biked a good amount everyday. We would bike from about 12pm to 5 then picked up the car right before dinner and drive the rest of the night. We biked over 100 miles this week and when we lose the car it will probably be close to 200 a week. We are having a lot of success now. We picked up 4 new investigators this week. 1 accepted baptism for june 24th and the other 3 said they need to learn more first so we will keep working with them. We also were able to recieve several referrals for part-member families who are less active. The work is progressing a lot faster now and we are staying really busy. Maria one of our investigators has been meeting with missionaries for more than a year said she picked a date to get baptized but it is in august. She said she wants us to make her a plan so that she can be ready. We told her straight up "Maria it has been a year! We have nothing left to teach you! You know this is all true so get baptized!" She said she would pray to know if she should get baptized in June. She has a hard time coming to church though because she works most sundays, but this past sunday she snuck out and came to sacrament meeting during her lunch hour. Also Brenda came to church for the first time in 6 months and is getting close to baptism.

It is starting to get hot so when we get home we plan, update the area book and then I am outcold. I have been sleeping like a little baby lately and I love it. Elder Quiroz is really awesome! He really knows how to be a missionary and is a great person, we are getting along amazingly. With the mission split coming up soon I wonder what mission I will be in. I talked to Elder Harvey today and he said President called him and asked him to extend 3 weeks, so he knows he will be in the new mission. I haven't been called yet so maybe I will be getting transfered back into the South Mission. It is a stressful but exciting time. I love you all.
