Well hello my dear family,
This week has been crazy, good, but crazy. We had 4 investigators come to church, it was so good to see them there. We had a guy named victor that we have been teaching for a while now. He has a lot of problems with smoking and drinking. We are trying to figure out a way to help him with these problems, its difficult because he needs to decide to stop doing them. He spends too much money on alcohol and smokes so he is always complaining about the bills that he has to pay that he doesn´t have any money for. So what we tell him is that he needs to use the money he would use for his beer and cigarros to pay for the bills. It just amazes me how many problems there are from breaking the word of wisdom. Not only health, but money is a big loss from it too. I can´t believe how many people here smoke, probably 1 out of 100,000 don´t smoke, and that is me and the other missionaries. If any one in the family ever decides to try a smoke or a drink, I will slap them. Keep that in mind, you will be Mitch slapped and it won´t feel good. So anyways I have seen a lot of change in the life of victor, he is wanting to know about Christ, the only problem he has is the word of wisdom, So pray for him that he will have the desire to stop drinking and smoking.
Also, we have a baptism set for the 17th of September, we are hoping that all is going to work out. Juan Carlos decided that he wants to be baptized on the first of October, so we are going to try and make it a little bit sooner for him. All is going well in Alicante. Me and elder forrest are trying to focus on getting new investigators. So we are working with faith and asking the lord to put people in our path day to day. I am already half way through the transfer which is absolutely crazy to think about. So all in all everything is going smooth. Thanks for all the emails and support. I love you all.
