Two Nineteen Year Old Boys

Well we are here in Neepawa this week so you know what that means, only an hr. of email time so if I don’t get to you this week ill for sure get to you next week!

Crazy to think I only have 4 more months and I’ve been out for a yr. already!  Hit the 8 month mark yesterday. 
Lots of good things happened here this week in Neepawa, well maybe not a lot but a fair amount.
We spent most all of Thursday at the Neepawa press and banner putting newspapers together for all the areas around us here.  Met lots of good people to know here in the town, even got to go out for dinner with the boss of the press and banner at Boston Pizza.  So that was a pretty good day for us!
Then yesterday we did some tracting for our PIs (potential Investigators) and we got let into a house and taught a guy named JC, he’s 33 and has a family of 3 as far as we could tell. To no surprise he’s Filipino!  We taught him the restoration and as we went through it he just kept on opening up to us more and more.  He has a lot going on in his life right now with his wife, work, and trying to take care of his son.  Sounds to us like he and his wife has some sort of miss understanding and she left to go back to the Philippines... So he’s not doing to well right now with that.  He was very excited to have two 19yr old boys teaching the gospel to him.  He doesn’t like very many churches anymore, because he says they are all out for their own personal gain and don’t care about the people.  But he liked us because I guess we aren’t out for money and aren’t tainted by society yet ha-ha
A few times during the lesson he about broke down and started to cry just from some of the things we said.  When we got to the first vision part of the lesson that was the strongest I’ve felt the spirit in a lesson since the MTC.  And that brought him and Smith to tears, it was a pretty neat experience for all of us I think.  We Committed JC to C.P.R. so church, to pray, and to read the B of M, and we even got him to commit to a baptismal date for the 18th of Nov! So this week was a pretty good week for us.  We are pretty sure that JC will be baptized.  It might not be with us, but we feel that somewhere down the line he will be baptized!  But we really hope it’s with us!

And that’s all the really exciting news from us for this week!

Love ya all, talk to you next week!
