So this week we've been really seeing some growth in the ward! The members have even been mentioning it to us because we've been getting people to church they haven't seen in over a year.
The greatest success of the week by far was with Nedín! We set a baptismal date for July 15th, and it's rock solid! We visit her every Sunday and now Fridays, too, and this last Sunday we gave her a baptismal calendar and have the path completely set up! She's super good at reading and we read 3 Nephi 11 with her because she was having a hard time understanding it when she read it. We got up to verse 17 about the people feeling the print in Christ's hands and feet. We talked about it and talked about baptism for a bit. She then was like "but I already was baptized by the Catholics, wouldn't it be bad to do it again?" and we were "Heck naw". Actually no... we said "Why don't we keep reading the next few verses?"

And then she was like "OH, I need to be baptized by the proper authority and repent beforehand!" #golden
So we continued and introduced her to the Triple so she could read Joseph Smith History. We asked if she would start it but she was like "12 pages?" I can read that by Friday!" Things are looking really good!
Today for p-day we watched Rogue One and played some soccer! Rogue One was a lot more intense than I thought it would be!!! And the ending had everyone going crazy!
Anyway, I'm going to let this letter be a little shorter this time because I have some other friends to write while we chat.
Love you all. Have a great week!
