Alright so we have had a fantastic week. At this time we have 13 progressing investigators THIRTEEN!!!!! The lord has been blessing us tonz. For everyone that is wondering what is going on with Johnny De La Rosa, He is back on the map, has been reading and praying for the last few weeks AND he has promised to quit smoking Drinking and completely obey the Word of Wisdom AND receive the saving ordinance of Baptism ON THE 16 OF SEPTEMBER! tonz of prayers still needed to get him and his family to be able to come to church every week so that the conversion will be able to last but, your prayers have been working!!Right now we are working with a lady named Candy. We have been working with Candy for the last four months she has been going to the "Cowboy Church" down here. For the last 2 weeks it has been do or die time for her. She has progressed so much in the last 4 months she is one of those investigators that just dove right into the Gospel and has been studying about the gospel almost non-stop. Right now she still hasnt got her answer. She is still drinking coffee and tea so we have commited her to stop and continue to pray and fast about it. Hopefully she will stop and get baptized. Elder Tervort is sick for the 5th time since i have been with him. This time the virus he had attacked me as well. we were only out for a day and have fully recovered this time. Elder Tervort still hasnt been able to go see a doctor to see what he has so we have no idea if he will get sick again. Also our A/C unit is starting to learn when we get sick, because the only time it breaks is when Elder Tervort gets sick and it has broken 3 out of the 5 time hes been sick. I will tell you what there are few things closer to "misery and endless woe" than being stuck in an apartment with nothing to do, with no A/C, while it is 105 degrees outside. But we survived once again.Last but certainly not least, OUR ZONE GOT THE "TSAM SHOE". Thats right we got da shoe, which for everyone that doesnt know what the TSAM Shoe is, it is has been passed around for the last 10 years to the zone that got the most baptisms each month. This month we got 14 baptisms in the South San Antonio Zone and we got da shoe. Ah yeah.Anyway Tonz of sweet things happening here in the TSAM. On the 25th of August i will only have 18 months left. 6 down 18 to go. I know you guys cant wait to see my smiling face but your gonna have to wait a few more months.
Love Ya All tonz
