Tim is getting Baptized

So it is definitely getting really cold here!! haha It's snowed probably fifteen days of the three weeks I've been here. I think I'm going to freeze to death, but were having a great time and getting a lot of work done.We are starting to see are hard work pay off as we are receiving more and more contacts. The more people we talk to the better chance we have of people actually listening to us, So we've been doing a lot of tracting. We've taught a couple of very good lessons.

We have some awesome investigators. It's amazing to see how some people are ready to hear and accept the gospel and some people won't even give it a chance. We have a investigator right now named Tim who has been Muslim his whole life but doesn't believe it anymore. He always talks to us about how he thinks you should be able to pray whenever you wants. WHICH IS AWESOME!! He's read a lot of the Book of Mormon and he knows it's true. He's getting baptized this week. I'm soo excited for him. He was so prepared to hear the gospel and to accept it. I cant wait to baptize him because I haven't had the opportunity to baptize anyone yet and I'm sure its going to an amazing experience.Also, Alan and Matt.. (the guy we met on the bus last week) came to church. They really liked it and want us to come back. Unfortunately we might have to refer them to the sister missionaries because they are over the singles ward. Also, we taught a man named Jin. He can't pick a religion because he is to hung up on the history side of religion and is having trouble accepting Joseph Smith. But we'll see. That's about it for now, we have a couple more people were trying to teach but they are our only progressing investigators. I'm soo happy for Tim though, hes such a good guy.anyways... we are having a great time.

We play basketball every Saturday morning and a game called scatterball (which is pretty much dodge ball with no boundaries) on Wednesday mornings. We just wake up an hour early so we can be back before studies. I've been trying to write people but I just don't have time (which I think is a good thing) but I'm gonna try to today. We get to have interviews with President Middleton today so I'm pretty excited. I'm trying to think of something to send you guys for Christmas but we'll see. Hopefully it gets there in time.

I LOVE YOU ALL SOO MUCH!! Have a good week.
Love, Elder Day
