Another week has come and gone! How are you all doing? I hope that all is well and that you are all enjoying life! So, this past week, I have been with my new companion Elder Romero! Just going to say, it has been spectacular! Elder Romero is a very dedicated and hard working Elder and I am SO stoked to work with him. We were able to contact a lot of new investigators this week and hope that they begin to progress. Along with the new people we've contacted, we have had some great success with our progressing investigators, especially with Liz and Daniel. Liz is 15 and has been meeting with the missionaries for some time. She has wanted to be baptized for a long time, but her parents wouldn't give her permission. But, this past week, she got permission! If that holds up, she'll be baptized this Saturday and we're so excited!! Our other really strong investigator is Daniel, and though he has only been taught the first two lessons, he has a strong desire to be baptized, so if we can prepare him in time, he will be baptized a week after this Saturday! I love all of the investigators that we have, but these two are really special. Any prayers you could send for these two would be very much appreciated :) All in all, this past week was spent just going out to work, work, and then work some more! I'm basically always exhausted, but I'm very happy, so it's all good. A cool event happened this past Saturday for two investigators from the other Elders in my ward, Elder De La Hoz and Elder Fuentes. The names of the investigators were Jose and Rassiel and they were not married, but had two amazing children. Per rules of baptism, they had to be married before they could be baptized, so, this past Saturday, they did both! Saturday morning we had the wonderful opportunity to attend their wedding, and that same afternoon, we got to see them get baptized. They are absolutely amazing and I am just blown away by the two of them, and because of that, I would like to focus my weekly thought on them. Jose and Rassiel come from very poor circumstances. There were very hard times along the way to being baptized, first because of all the changes, but second because of the finances and legal aspects of being married. It was amazing to see their faith and their will to give all that was necessary to make it to the waters of baptism and start on the path towards a happy and Christ centered life. So, my question for you: What are you doing now to continue your eternal progression? What are you willing to give up to take the next step, wherever you are now? After all that you have done to this point, there is always a next step. Seek out what you must do next. Ask "What Lack I Yet?" and be willing to follow the response that you get. Like Jose and Rassiel, I know that you guys will not only progress spiritually, but you will also be blessed with an abundance of joy. All you need now is the will to give. So, start now! I just want to say that I love all of you guys and think that you are amazing! If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to respond. You guys are literally the best and I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me. Love you all!
Elder Wynn
