We as missionaries really focus on asking the people we teach inspired questions and its amazing the answers you can get from one simple question. For example we can challenge someone to baptism and have them commit to the date just by asking them what do they want for their kids in this life. We can ask them what they want in this life and get an answer telling us that they are divorced and their kids passed away...it’s amazing the things that can come from the spirit. When we ask by the spirit, we receive by the spirit!

 Well other than that we had a rough week, we really see the power of Satan and how he can change things very fast. We had three baptisms planned for this last Saturday and we didn't have one! All of them will not be getting baptized at all because they gave into temptation. We have a wedding planned this Saturday and then baptisms planned for Sunday, a family! We have been working really hard on this wedding so I hope it all goes well. Can you believe that, I'm planning weddings here? It’s nothing too special but as long as it is meaningful for them it’s perfect. Our bishop had an accident this week, he rides his bike from place to place while he works and was hit by a car, he is doing ok now, he won’t die or have any permanent damage but he is pretty beat up. It’s amazing how fast life can change isn't it, we always have to be ready.

Love, Cole-man

Things here are good; it’s so stinking hot though I hate it! Our house makes it hotter than it is outside and it’s terrible, we can never get away from the heat. The missionary work is going well, we have three baptisms planned this week and hopefully a wedding a baptism of a family the following. We’re doing all we can to get them to make this covenant with our father in heaven but wow Satan is working really hard on them. With the heat it makes it hard to work, I feel bad when we go and talk to people and I'm just dripping sweat, it’s really gross. But as we know the work of the Lord cannot stop with some sweat.

Not much happened for us this last week, we had a lot of lessons and are getting a lot of references so we are really thankful for that! We have recently found this amazing family and we have a date set to marry them and baptize them for the 14 of this month! The father is less active, for about 10 years, and wants to change so much! It will be cool if it happens this month. Pray for the family CaƱas! We have some other investigators that are really progressing and have baptism dates for this month as well so we’re hoping for that! We received 34 references this last week.
