hello everybody!

I'm glad to talk to you today. Things this week were pretty good. We picked up a new investigator through teaching a less active. The new investigator's name is Veronica and she's pretty prepared. She doesn't know much about the Bible at all, but she has a firm testimony in prayer and in God. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and also about the Restoration this week. Both of the lessons were incredibly spiritual. And at the end of the first one, we committed Veronica to be baptized on October 30th, and she said yes! So that's exciting.

We also have a few new opportunities coming up in the future to pick up some investigators. A family just moved into our ward who are starting be active again after several years. They have two kids over the age of eight that were never baptized, so we'll start teaching them this week or next, probably. Also, one of my favorite families in the ward has a bunch of teenagers. One of them brought her friend to church this week, and introduced us. The friend, Sarah, has been attending seminary for a few days, and really liked church yesterday... so hopefully things will turn out. :)

that's pretty much it from here. I don't have much else to say except that I'm super excited for General Conference. The spirit is always so strong at those meetings, and I'm looking forward to hearing what the Prophet and other general authorities have to teach us about life and our goals.
