Hey Family!
Wow, this was a good week. The highlight of the week was of course Jerry's baptism! Jerry is the oldest guy that I have ever seen get baptized! (he is 75). It was a wonderful day. Now that Jerry is baptized we are really going to start focusing on Martha.
This week we had a funny experience. We are working with a ex-comunicated member named sister Molinari. All we are doing is reading the scriptures with her and helping her find her way back. We as missionaries don't have stewardship over excommunicated people, we act under the direction of the bishop. Anyway, Sis. Molinari was in a horrible car accident a few years ago, and is now paralyzed from the waist down. So she cruises around in one of those motorized wheel chairs. So we dropped in unannounced this past week, and when she heard us coming up the ramp, I heard her say, "Oh crap!" We walked up to the door (which was open) and said "hey Sis. Molinari, how are ya?" She was so embarrassed because she was sitting there in her front room drinking a beer! She wheeled over to us and we I asked her if she should be drinking and driving! We all had a good laugh. Sis. Molinari has some things to overcome, but she is great.
We found 3 new investigators this week! We have a lot of brand new investigators, and most of them are doing well. One of our new investigators, Henrietta, loved the firs lesson sooo much! She is excited to read from the Book of Mormon, and meet with us tomorrow. Out of 10 investigators that we are teaching, only 2 of them are white people! The Bay Area is super diverse!
Things are going great! Thank you for sending the pictures of Kenna's prom! I loved them! I couldn't believe that I was looking at my little sister! Wow, she is beautiful.
I love you all, and hope that you have a great week!
