Well, things this past week were a little slower but Pres. Miller said our numbers still look amazing. We had personal interviews with his on tuesday as a zone and we were each scheduled 15 min for the interview. Mine was 3 to 4 minutes long! The only thing he really told me was keep up the good work and try playing basketball in the mornings. We taught J-- last weekend and man he is progressing well. We gave him the baptismal date and he accepted with a "heck yes" and when we gave him the date for Feb 6th he responded "Will I be ready?" We said Of course and he was like well lets do it then. R-- is progresing well he is most of the way through Mosiah and he has only had the Book of Mormon for a week. N-- is coming along ok but church is still an issue for him. We found a family of 11 that we are teaching now. Their old house burned down and they lost everything so we are trying to help them. Other than that not much else happened. OOOH we had cow tongue for dinner monday and it was pretty good. We went and taught E-- and E-- monday and her roommate M-- and her husband were there. When we first got there her husband was kind of rude and I went to shake his hand and he said "I am busy". Then he started teasing us because we dont drink. Little did he know he was going to get a spiritual kick to the face. We began our lesson and he asked the question "What spiritual things are important" and we went into the plan of Salvation how there is more to life than work and sleep. His kids 19, 16, 15 are all back in mexico and we talked about eternal families. The whole atmosphere changed as we bore testimony and at the end he said, " I would like to meet again and learn more". It was amazing!! We meet with C--- A--- and I-- and we talked about the temple and are working to get them set up for Baptisms for the dead later in feb.
Everyone was a little upset with me today because I was the recipient of most of the mail. Last week I got 6 letters and a package and I only had time to respond to 2 letters but this week i got 8 more letters and another package. I didnt know I had so many friends and so much support. It touches me to read all your letters and words of hope and just how life is going. Thanks for the business cards mom!!! I love you all and I pray for all my friends and family daily. Stay strong and listen to the Holy Ghost. Until next week...
Elder Jolly
