We've been teaching a really cool guy named Francisco, he lives right next to the church in Juncos and was really interested when we taught the first lesson. When we went by the next time he told us he had been reading in the Book of Mormon, and that he noticed something different. He accepted a baptismal invitation that when he knew these things were true he'd be baptized. Then, at the end of the lesson, he said the prayer and he asked for guidance and asked that after he knew these things were true, that Heavenly Father would help him share them with his family. He's already excited for missionary work. The problem is that he's leaving for Connecticut on Friday, but we're going to teach him about the importance of reading and praying every day so he'll be able to keep it up during his trip. We also contacted the son of one of the members of the ward. She is the only member in her family but her grandkids have been going to church for awhile. Anyway the other day we saw the son outside and he said we could come by today. His name is Juan Carlos, and he seemed really interested, and Sister Martinez, his mom, mentioned that his wife has had some questions recently about the Church and everything so we're excited about that. We've had a lot more cooperation from the ward recently. The bishop just called two new counselors and the new bishopric has been excited about missionary work. They also called a new ward mission leader to replace the one who left on his mission, and we've been receiving more referrals from the ward members. It has been exciting to see. Yesterday I hit 6 months in Juncos, and I've never seen the members so excited about doing missionary work. That is what will really make a difference.
Anyway, it's great over here. That's too bad about the tree. I hope nobody was under there. Anyway, I will write next week.
