As far as investigators go, we are baptizing them all and now we're looking for some new ones. We should have been finding, teaching, and baptizing but we have been so busy teaching that we havent had time to contact or tract. This past week we taught nearly 30 lessons and the number will probably increase. The campus students are awesome and we love to be around them. One investigator, josh, is someone we're working with but needs some Divine assistance. We challenged him to be baptized yesterday and also committed him to live the law of chastity. He accepted the baptismal challenge but is living with a roommate for financial reason and cant afford to move out on his own and is worried about trying to find another roommate. We'll see how he does this week but he could use some prayers.

Another one of our investigators got baptized and confirmed this past weekend. It was awesome. Her name is devon and she is solid. At fast and testimony meeting 4 recent converts and 1 investigator bore their testimonies.

One of our investigators, Nancy, bore her testimony too. There was such a strong spirit in the room.

The church's organization is amazing me as well. We had a Zone Leader's Council on saturday and discussed the needs of our mission. To see 19, 20, & 21 year olds stepping up to this responsibility is inspiring. My mission president is truly inspired himself. The council he gives us and the direction we receive from him i know is from the Lord. In interviews this past week he knew exactly what i needed to hear.

We were also invited to attend a stake leadership meeting where missionary work was involved. The bishops and the ward mission leaders all attended as well as the stake presidency. Our stake president, President McLure, is an amazing man. He is in tune with the spirit and knows the needs of the stake and knows how to use the organization of the church to fulfill those needs. It is incredible.
