Cody's Homecoming Invitation

April 23, 2012 - Family Email

Okay so this last week was the most success I have had as a missionary!   So to start out we have 8 baptismal dates! 
Nadia is going to get baptized this Sunday, hopefully!  We have it planned to be that way.  She came to church and she was awesome and was answering questions and all in the class.  She is way prepared to get baptized.  We haven´t planned her baptism yet but we are meeting with her this week to get it all done.  This last week was just amazing out of the 94 futures we found we have turned 10 of them into new investigators this last week.  We found this lady named Lorena from Ecuador and she has two daughters named Rosa and Katherina.  They are amazing we have taught them twice and they came to church.  The mom wants to feed us all the time she loves us.  They have a baptismal date for the 19th of May.  They are great.  Rosa is 12 and Katherina is 14.  We also found another young girl and her mom that has a lot of member family. They are from Ecuador.  The mom is named Carina and the daughter is named Julie.  Julie is AWESOME.  She is 15 years old and came to church and the kids accepted her and she just loved church.  We actually met her on Saturday night and she came to church.  We had an amazing lesson with her and her mom.  Julie told us that she is searching a path and wants something to guide her and take her in.  We know its the church and we think she feels a little lonely sometimes or something so the church will be amazing for her.  We haven´t set a date with her yet but I bet in a couple of weeks or so.  We also found someone even better!!  He reminds us of José Luis the guy that just got baptized.  This mans name is Julian and he is from Chile.  He like already feels and knows that the church is true.  He tells us that when we are in his house he feels something so strong and when he reads he feels a burning in the chest.  He came to church yesterday and the members met him and he met the stake president and bishop.  He is solid and has a date for the 19th of May but we are probably going to move it up because he is like ready we just have to teach him the lessons.  The other dates are not strong but need help.  Orstencia a lady from Bolivia that is having a hard time in life; she has one for the 19th of May.  The other is Paco, he is doing well and progressing.  We watched the Joseph Smith movie with him and he really liked it and respects him now.  We are working really hard with him and trying to help him believe and know by faith not by facts.  He wants to know all the historical facts and I have taught him a load of scriptures and shown him the way, now he just has to act you know?  
 
Well I wrote Jerame and told him my love.  I am excited to have a hot niece!!  haha!  I love you all.  Ask me questions next email about the people because there is a lot of new people and I had to write them all out as fast as possible.  We taught 25 lessons this last week and got 10 new people and 24 futures and 8 baptismal dates, we kicked butt!!  Thanks to the Lord.  I make sure I thank Him for everything because it isn´t me, we were in the right place at the right time! 
 
Love,
Code
