Nice to get your emails! It was also nice to have a better week! We have two more people with baptismal dates. One is a lady named Sara. The other is her daughter Ipatia. Ipatia is 40 but lives with her mom because she has epilepsy. She still understands well though. Sara told us that she and her daughter were going to be baptized, but didn´t because the missionaries got transferred and the new missionaries never visited them. But now we are picking up where the other elders left off! We just need to help Sara quit smoking. She´s down to just two cigarettes a day, so we should be good by the 25th. She doesn´t smoke when she´s with her 1 year-old grandson, so she´s been doing a lot of voluntary babysitting! We also call her every day to help her. That´s the investigator news of the week!
We went and made lunch with the Suarez family today. They´re Elder Robinson´s investigators who need to get married. They´re really great and come to church each week. They´re even going to sell their nightclub (Colombia Billiards!) to be able to have less spiritually-destructive jobs! We were cooking and heard the first counselor of the branch talking on the radio (he is one of their announcers). So Luis (the husband) called him and told him to announce the missionaries on the radio! And they did! This is what we heard...
...´´and Elder Robinson, Wallace, Arriaga, and Elder Cruz!´´ (at this point we all cheered, but then came the next part...)
...´Sending you their greetings from Colombia Billiards!´
That was pretty funny! We were at their house, by the way, and not at their nightclub. Hopefully nobody was listening! haha
Well that´s all for now! President Sloan´s last zone conference tomorrow! More to follow next week!
Love,
Elder Wallace
