Familia y los demas! We've had a pretty cool week and we've had quite a bit of luck. Yesterday at church we had 11 investigators, 8 less actives who haven't been to church in over a year and 1 recent convert who is less active. A quarter of everyone at church yesterday was brought there by us, so it felt pretty good. To be honest we are seeing a lot of miracles here in the ward. Now we just need to convert all of the investigators we have into baptisms. Shouldn't be too hard, but here within the next couple weeks we`ll start to see who really is prepared for baptism and who isn't. One of the pics i sent you was of a guy named Alberto Hernandez. Kinda funny because that's also my companions name, but that's beside the point. Alberto walks funny because less than a month ago they shot him in the back of the leg and broke his femur, so thats why hes got the one crutch in the picture. Hes a really good guy though and honestly hes been making a lot of changes in his life. He has a baptismal date for the 18th, but we`ll have to see what happens. The other picture of the family is a guy named Fransico and his sons, (insert name here)... I know i'm the worst, i cant remember names very well but i think one of them is also name Fransisco (panchito), and one is like Javier and the other is Jose. The wife is the only member, but when we found here she was drinking out front of here house and now shes changed a ton. Hahaha i know we only have 4 days with them and only one lesson, but we put a baptismal date for the 18th as well and Fransisco and his son thats 8 accepted the date, and were at church this Sunday. To be honest weve had some awesome lessons and im feeling really good about the area. All we need to do now is really just start doing our best to bring the spirit to every lesson and im sure theyll be baptized very shortly. To be honest everyday feels really good to be a missionary. Its hot. And its hard... but it feels really good. Its crazy thats its getting so close to time, but i really have come to love it here in this little desert. I miss you all a ton, and it'll be nice to talk on Mothers day. Please dont cry dad :D Con mucho amor, Elder Smitheram
