Hi Family--

We have a family of three scheduled to be baptized this Saturday!

I was pretty convinced this area is just a dry desert, but when we find good people, they're usually much better than the average person who lets us in because they like to listen to the word of God (just like Carmen, except when we read you a scripture about how you have to keep the commandments and get married, suddenly me and my companion are too young and we don't know anything and she doesn't want to hear anymore. :)

We taught one guy this week and my companion and I had a nice discussion about him afterwards because he says something a lot of Dominicans say: that he's waiting for God to touch him-- as in he's not going to go to church or do anything he knows he do should unless God sends him a big sign, but people who want signs usually reject the ones they get and want another.

Anyway, we were thinking about how the first thing Jesus asks people in the New World to do, after he presents Himself as having just drank from the bitter cup, is for everyone in the multitude to get up and come to Him and to touch Him!

 In other words, Jesus already came and did pretty much everything for us. He paved the road. "What could I have done more for my vineyard?" (Jacob 5:41) And now it's our responsibility to get up! and go to Him. He's the one waiting, and you shouldn't be. So to that guy who's waiting for God to do something miraculous in his life in order for him to get up, what more are you waiting for? He already sent His Son. And now we need to accept his invitation to us and come, and follow Him.

It's been a windy, rainy ☔and delightfully chilly this week! I miss seasons. We did get a 4.8 level EARTHQUAKE this week!

I love you, family. I hope you have a great week as you get up and go to Christ.
