> This week after conference and the talk by Elder Rasband, I've tried to follow all of the promptings that I receive from the spirit. Because of that I've felt at least two different times to talk to families and so I ran up to them and we placed dates to come back and teach them. Every time I've received a prompting to talk to someone, I run and talk to them and we almost always get a date to go back with them. It's amazing.
>
> We have 12 baptismal dates in the next 2 months, and 2 people came this week Lucas Batz and Christina. Lucas is 65 and has been drinking almost all his life. He is adorable. We walked from his house to church and he told us all about how they had to bring the water from the river when he was a boy and this and that. he has come twice and will be baptized on the 22 of April.
>
> Ana Cutz is the sweetest little lady I've ever met. She left her church because of an argument with another lady and found us. She always feeds us break and tea (they call everything tea here but its not actually tea) and she is so sweet. She loves the bible like its her family member and if we say anything to imply that there is another book like the bible she takes it as an insult. She's hilarious. I love her, we speak in quiche sometimes
>
> Carlos Ajcuc is the son of the parents we baptized last month. He told his dad he wanted to be baptized yesterday. We talked to him. He said he'd come to church but decided not too after having some doubts...
>
> Felix and Maria are miracles. Felix had drank his whole life and completely turned it around. He stopped two or so days before baptism and hasn't drank since. His family was SHOCKED. He used to be very violent, now he is a picture perfect father. Maria used to have extreme depression, now she says she is HAPPY. They are progressing like crazy. And are as happy as a family I've ever seen. They have CHANGED THEIR LIVES and the gospel has brought that positive change.
>
> We have about 4 other people who want to be baptized but work making tortillas on Sunday. We found them because we talk to everyone in every store about the gospel. We contacted about 4 hours a day last change and we have tons of people to meet with now. They all speak quiche and that's how we communicate with them, but they aren't willing to give up the income for their families that Sunday brings, so going to church is hard. They are so sweet though.
>
> They lady who sells us delicious yogurts almost every day is now taking discussions but thinks the Sabbath is Saturday because the biggest church here is a Saturday Evangelical church. A former Mormon lady started their church and uses the Christ image from our church. They have many things right, but they are still so obstinate about the 7th day.
>
> Charlie is nice man who accepted us in his house and give us bread and tea every time. He loves us and we love him but he is seventh day Evangelical and wont change. He is such a great Christian man and probably lives the gospel better than our own members I love the guy, so nice.
>
> Pedro Gutierez is a skeptical young man who had a baptismal date but thinks the Sabbath is on Saturday so wont get baptized. its really frustrating because they don't believe anything their pasture tells them not to believe. We are working with him but he is only trying to find things wrong with the Book of Mormon and not trying to ask with real intent
>
> Kevin Batz has come to church 2 times. He said he knows or believes the Book of Mormon is true, but still kind of thinks all churches lead to salvation type of talk.
>
> Olga is firm in her church but said if she feels the Book is true will get baptized. I love her to death. I just want all my investigators to know how much I love them.
>
> Pedro is a 28 year old man who broke his leg in a car crash. He lost a lot and his family are members. We helped move his furniture to remodel his house for service, but he doesn't want to read the Book of Mormon and take the challenge of baptism if its true. Were working with him

> A lot of people use logical fallacies with religion which makes me sad. When we talk of the joy the gospel brings they nod they’re head in agreement then go off to masts and pray to statues. It hurts me inside to think that they are fine with fake religious and fake spiritual feelings. Change in our lives is what brings peace. Clarity of doctrine brings clarity of mind. I want them to get it, but I cant force it on them
>
> Just read the Book of Mormon guys., It's true or its not. Just ask God if its true. If you get an answer the church is true. if you don't then its not. Just do it with real intent. Try it Please.

> With so much love its crazy. ELDER Young.
