Hey Everybody!Thank you so much for all the support i have been getting! It truly has been a blessing! Each night when we go check the mail we anxiously await to hear from all of you. I am grateful for all the wonderful news I have been recieving.
So this past ten days has been long but good. Alot of ups and downs just like most weeks. Fortunately we have been working hard and it is paying off little by little. Although we are not seeing as much success come as we would like we are grateful for what the lord has blessed us with. We will be baptizing this month on the 18th... so I guess that is this saturday! I am way stoked about it!
The man being baptized is named Jose Antonio Magellon, we contacted him on his porch and he was so excited to have us come over and teach him. He has loved the doctrine and has been finding the answers to questions he has had all his life through the book of mormon and the doctrine and covenants. It has been wonderful seeing someone progress so rapidly and change for the better. He is truly one of the choice and elect of God.
His wife is a wonderful woman who also enjoyed our message and came to church once. She loved it so much! unfortunately she was antied by her family and the other church in which she was attending. We are praying that her desires will change upon seeing her husband being baptized and that she will recognize the difference in him once he has the holy ghost and priesthood. Her name is Liliana.
Besides that.... We just challenged another couple to be baptized! they are great! they have a son who is 15 and we plan on challenging him to baptism the next time we see him. We do not have a set date at the moment. I will let you know though. the names of these wonderful people are Francisco, Guadalupe, And Alejandro. If you could keep them in your prayers that would be fantastic!
We have been trying our best to expand our teaching pool. If you remember about two weeks ago our teaching pool took a massive hit with about 8 people falling off the charts. Come to think of it... dont think i told you that. Well... now you know. It was a bad week. We have been seeking dilligently to find others ready and willing to listen to our message. we pray that we can find the elect. People who are ready and willing to accept the restored gospel of Jesus Christ into their lives.
I want to give a special thanks today to Mom and Dad- Their letters have been such a help to me and have made my nights so much better. I am sorry I dont write to often but on P-days i just love to play basketball with all the other missionaries... and you know me. Once i start playing I cant stop.
Another Big thanks to Francys and the rest of the tobler bunch! The package i recieved was wonderful! I loved seeing pictures of the children and hearing the loving words of my sister.
One more shout out to Franny and Weston this week. A wonderful and inspiring email from Weston was what i recieved today and I want to say thank you for your love and faith in me. Thank you Franny for being such a great sis! I am sorry that your letter never got to me. My current address is 722 chase common drive, norcross GA, 30071 but i think i might get transferred this time. Transfers are on the 28th i think. Also, your best bet to get things to me is sending it through the mission office which th address to that is 1150 cole drive sw, lilburn GA, 30047-5426
ok, i cant leave out bianca! I love you sister! i would love to hear more from you and how everything is going! I miss you and ryan both and it has been a while that i have not heard anything from you. I know i dont write back. But i pray you will excuse me as time is very limited here on the mission.
So i think that is about it! today was a wonderful day! i had the oppurtunity to go the temple and spend some time with the zone it was a blast! I was grateful for the oppurtunity to go before it closes this june. i have more pictures and i promise i will start attaching more. much love to everyone!
Take care!
Elder Delgado
