"..we are working a ton better with the ward so things are going well here!"

For this week we have been trying to work more with our investigator.  We've met with her a couple of times and we read the Book of Mormon with her and encourage her to pray and strive to continue to progress.  We met with her Sunday morning (since church is at 1pm) and we talked and reminded her of church.  She ended up not being able to come, and while we were texting her at church, she expressed that she truly believes and wants to do her best to be baptized, so she can raise her two year old son in the church.  She also said she has prayed and has felt the Spirit and still has a desire to come, but it is hard for her, especially because her sister has just recently stopped coming as well.  She has such great faith and has taught me so much more than what I have taught her.  She really needs your prayers, and we are going to fast and pray for her this week. because she really needs it.  We have also been working a lot more with the ward, which includes meeting with the members who give a talk the coming week and inviting them to invite people to come to their talk and listen to it.  We also are going to start meeting with children in the ward who are about to get baptized and teaching them a little and inviting them to invite others to their baptism as well, so we are going to be full with appointments this week.  So far as finding goes, it gets really difficult sometimes, but we are going to try and go to the park here and talk to people. because a lot of people are there all the time.  Last p-day we went to Castlewood Canyon, which is this really cool rock canyon and we hiked in and on top of it which was fun. I don't know what we are doing today, but I am going to get some envelopes so I can actually start writing you guys! If you want me to send you a written letter, send me an email of your address!!

Love,
Elder Austin
