This week

Hey guys

We had an awesome week. It was filled with so many blessings.

First of all, I took lots of photos, but this computer sucks and I'll have to send them next week.

We had a baptism!!!! One of our investigators, a 9 year old girl got baptized. Her name is Gabriela. Her story is awesome because her family is less active. Or inactive really. But her getting baptized and listening to the missionaries has activated her family completely in the church. Seeing her there with her mom and her siblings and her aunt and grandma in church was so incredible. The lord works in really mysterious ways.

We worked super hard. We found 8 new investigators, taught tons of lessons, and we had 6 people attend church which was really awesome. Honestly it was probably the best work week I've had in a while.

A funny story. Oftentimes, people see that I'm a 6' 5" white guy and they come up to me and talk to me in English. Lots of people have been deported from the US, and they like to practice their English and talk and it's really fun. This past week, a guy stopped me on the street, and said that he had lived in Conroe, Texas for several years. I told him that I'm from the Woodlands, and it was really cool meeting someone who knows that part of Texas.

Anyways, that's been my week. Today we took the bus up to Amecameca to play basketball with the elders of the mission. In Ameca, they have public wooden courts. Playing up there was really fun. I got to see a ton of old friends.

Anyways, that's been my week.

Love,

Elder William Jacob Long
