another hot week has gone by here in sunny texas. cinthia got baptized this weekend it was so nice. AND. turns out her boyfriend is realizing that he's crazy about her, so they're going on tuesday to get the marriage license and will hopefully be getting married by this week's end. it's amazing how heavenly father just makes everything work out if we do his will. cinthia is an amazingly prepared person and is just so willing to do whatever it takes to be happy and to live with god after this life. she's going to be the best member missionary ever.
this week we made great strides with our investigator, francisco, who i probably have not told you anything about. he is such a great guy. he is here from mexico.. he had to come because things at his work got very crazy with the drug cartel. so his family is still there and he's here laying low for a while. for about a year now he says he has been searching to find god and to find his true church. he had been praying about it a lot the week before we showed up at his door and he knows that god sent us to him. he has been reading the book of mormon like a mad man and praying and came to church this week for the first time and LOVED it. we set a date with him for the 19th of june. he is the coolest. he's been telling his wife and kids in mexico about it and wants to send the missionaries to them too.
hmm. what else has happened this week. oh i got to see a bunch of the young single adults who would come out with us all the time from laredo (pictures)... they came down for some YSA conference and came to church here in harlingen. it was nice to see them.. and weird that it has been more than a year since i had seen them. man i am old.
well, i would just like to challenge everyone out there in cyber land to write me one more letter before i get home. you have five weeks. yes, i do still exist, and it does still suck to not get mail. help me. p.s. if your name is kate or marni or bonnie you are excused from that because i still need to write to you.
anyway. hope that you are all doing well.
love,
sister morrill
