We had a meeting with Elder Richard J. Maynes of the Presidency of the 70. We didn't get back to San Miguel until like 9:30 pm. The only thing I remember was he talked about the Book of Mormon a lot and it's importance. He also mentioned President Woods from the San Antonio mission. He said that he was doing changes and at the end two Utah cowboys were together and he wasn't sure if they should be together so he started changing everything again but at the end they were still together.  He prayed and felt it was right so he left it at that. They were the perfect combo to baptize a lady who owned a ranch...haha...go figure...The lady had come into contact with members because she went to Montana or some place like that to another ranch (like a vacation one) and the owners were members and she wanted to pay them extra because she loved the week. They used that money to "buy" time from her saying that if two guys with white shirts and ties ever showed up that she would let them in and she agreed. So when the missionaries showed up, she remembered the other members and the promise and let the missionaries in (even thought she honestly didn't want to) and they had a lot in common (obviously them being cowboys and she had her own ranch) and in something like 3 weeks she was baptized...Fun, huh?

6 weeks left...kinda...idk for sure..

The investigators are good. We have found a bunch of good ones lately and they are progressing good. We had a handful in church yesterday and they liked it. We are gonna try and raise the number this week that come. So...if everything goes according to plan...I'll be leaving with a few more baptisms. But honestly I'm happy that we got a less active family in church. It was super cool to see them there. I was happy. 

And my comp is good. He is a good Elder. I hope I don't get changed.I don't think so but it's always possible.

I got some pictures to send. We made pizza with the cook and I got a bunch of pics from it. Hope you like them. Later. Love you!

Oh yeah, I actually got around to talking with a 7th Day Adventist. She was very smart. It was very interesting to hear their side of things--but obviously the Gospel is true--I don't doubt it.

 Pizza!
