Things here have been going great! It was awesome to have spent a half a day with Gomez when we were waiting for the transfer van to come back down. My new companion is Hermana Rathfon. She is from southern Indy.  Gomez just finished training her and I am her second comp. She has been great.

The Chavez's were not able to be baptized this past Saturday. He had a good interview with one of the Zone leaders. He will have another interview with the same zone leader this upcoming Friday. They have a new baptismal date for June 23. The whole family wanted to wait and be baptized together.

Brenda is doing great. We just finished teaching her all of the lesson. All she needs to do is come to church one more time and then get married. We asked if she wanted to move her baptismal date back to give her more time to get married. She didn't want to because she doesn't want to wait any longer to be baptized. We know she has been working on her boyfriend to get married. He is being a little stubborn because he really wants to get married on Feb 14th. Poor guy, he is just a romantic. 

One of investigators named Blonca gave us a referral for her friend named Silvia. As soon as she gave us the referral we followed Blonca to Slivia's house so we could meet her. Slivia is awesome and is super ready to learn. Everything we tell her she soaks it up. But here is the thing, she knows nothing about Christ. Only that he was someone that is important and he died for her and she should pray to him. We have to take everything really slow with her. I have never really taught anyone without any kind of background in religion. So Hermana Rathfon and I have been studying Preach my Gospel to find out the best way to teach her.
