May 9, 2011 Short letter but we talked to him the day before!!

Liz Karen at her baptism

Well it was great to be able to talk to my family and friends. I really enjoyed all of it and to be able to hear their voices and talk directly and not through email. I hope all is going well for everyone. I dont have a lot to say cause I just talked to you yesterday. But everything here is going well.

We have some good investigators and we are hoping to have a baptism this weekend with Jon Carlos. He says he feels ready but he isn't 100 percent sure. So we are working on trying to get him prepared. He is a good guy and will be a great member. He has a lot of support in the church so he will be a strong member and help the ward out a lot.

We also have Gabriel and Gladys. Gladys had to go to the hospital last week she had heart problems, but now she is even more interested in the gospel and has a strong desire to be baptized. She knows the church is true and loves attending the meetings. Gabriel is still excited about gettng baptized and already he is part of the ward. 2 grand kids live with  Gladys too, and they go to church with her and love it so they might get baptized with them too. We have a goal for the 21st, so we will work hard to get them ready.

That is about it from the DR today. I hope all is well with all of you. God Bless.

con amor
