Baptism in Washington

Hello Family,

Well, this past week we were able to have a baptism!!!  It ended up being pretty last minute on the preparations for it.  We had an interview earlier during the week, and it turned out that he needed another one.  We got the call at 8 pm the night before saying that we could have the baptism (next day at 11am). We called all of the Spanish speakers in the ward that we could think of to give talks and to conduct  but everyone was going to be out of town. We had 4 people from the ward that showed up  and only one of them spoke Spanish. Lucky for us the kid spoke English also (he is 14) and so the bishop and young men's president could talk, but his parents can't speak English, so last moment I said that I would conduct in Spanish and Elder Dickinson gave a talk in Spanish.

Right now that lady with the 3 kids is interested in learning but is super busy with her 2 jobs that we can only see her one time a week (and she was sick this last week at that time). We are still going to teach her, but I imagine that it will be a slow process with only one lesson a week.  We are on the search right now for investigators who will really progress and keep commitments. We did find several people tracting this last week who seem to have potential--people that have family already that are members or who have talked with missionaries before.

Love ya,

Elder B
