Hope you all had a happy Labor Day! We certainly did; we played some Ultimate, and then we did a couple go cart races, which was way fun. Finally we checked out Guitar Center in north Tacoma and I got to play around on their keyboards for a while :)
As far as investigators, we had a great miracle early last week. Guillermo decided that it was his time and put himself on date to be baptized this coming weekend. We went through all the baptism interview questions with him and the only thing he needs is to get married. Unfortunately, we talked with both of them about marriage yesterday and they don't feel ready to do it yet, even though they've been living together for several years. But they committed to start reading the Book of Mormon together daily to seek personal revelation on what they should do, so just keep praying for them. It was a miracle when he decided to get baptized, and we can expect another miracle as they choose to get married.
Mari, as far as we know, fell off the face of the Earth. We weren't able to see her last week and when we tried to call, it went straight to her voicemail so her phone was probably off and she didn't get the texts we sent. We're wondering if maybe something happened with her mom, but we'll see and we'll keep trying to contact her.
We had a great church tour this week with someone named Carmen. English missionaries had been teaching her brother and weren't making any progress so they finally referred them to us. It can be really frustrating when you find out that English missionaries are poaching investigators that should have been referred to you. A problem is that the potential investigators don't like saying 'no' so they'll agree to take the lessons in English just because they're talking to English missionaries, but when we go up and ask them, they admit that it would be better in Spanish. Ah well, the two cases that came up in our area this week got resolved so it should be good now.
¡Les amo, y cuidense! (I love you and take care.)
