Things Are Happening!

Happy Pday!

Monday we decided to look for one of the inactive people on the branch list. He opened the door right away and was super cool! He's a 14-year-old who got baptized 4 years ago but hasn't been to church in 2 years. He is about the same age as one of our investigators and they both play guitar so we are trying to get them to be friends so they can go to church together!

Tuesday we tried a bunch of names and addresses we had in Point Pleasant. I love that town! It's so cute! If I were to live anywhere in Jersey it would be Point Pleasant. And the beach and the boardwalk are awesome!

This week we found a new investigator named Raul. After our first lesson with him we were blown away by how prepared and willing he was to receive the Gospel. We taught him three times this week and he happily accepted a baptismal date for June 7th! Woo! But then yesterday afternoon we had another appointment with him and he wasn't answering the phone. We decided to go anyway and we took the Relief Society President with us as a team up. We show up at his house and we find his girlfriend who tells us that he is passed out from drinking so much... long story short we ended up teaching her instead and got her as a new investigator! So turns out Raul might need a bit more work and patience than we thought he would. Hopefully next time we visit him he'll be awake...and sober...

Saturday night there was a Mother's Day party at the chapel. The men provided the food because they didn't want the women to have to cook since it was their "special day"... so they ended up buying like 12 feet of sandwiches rather than having to cook haha. And of course the missionaries got a lot of the leftovers :) And our Peruvian investigators Cesar and Luz came to the party too :)

Tomorrow we have an all-mission conference in Morristown. We have to be there at 7:30am which means we will have to leave from here at 5am :( But it's ok because we are getting trained for iPads tomorrow!! We haven't heard for sure whether we will actually receive the iPads tomorrow or at a later date, but it will be soon! I have heard rumors of iPads coming ever since I got to Jersey back in August, and now, 9 months later, it's finally happening!
