Things went crazy this past week.  There was a situation with an investigator and his family, who we had been teaching.  It was pretty complicated and resulted in the investigator moving out of state (we think).  The family seems to be doing well enough.  We went over on Wednesday and taught R (the mother) about the Plan of Salvation with her three daughters.  We also asked if she had thought more about baptism.  R told us that she did not want to commit to a date because she wanted to find out that the Book of Mormon was true first.  I am content with her response, because it tells me that she understands how important a commitment baptism really is.  

That was the highlight of the week.

Every other investigator that we have has been cancelling and rescheduling, or just plain avoiding us.  We have  8 other investigators and about 10 potential families that we could be teaching, but all of them are rescheduling and cancelling, or just not answering the door.  It is somewhat frustrating.  So Elder Jones and I have been doing a lot of finding, trying to find those who are ready to hear the Gospel.  Our door approaches are getting better, and more people are wanting to listen to our message (hence the 10 potential families) but the return appointments are not being awesome, and they are cancelling with out mercy.  Hopefully soon they will be praying and reading the Book of Mormon, and then getting baptized with lots of mercy.

With Faith and hope,

Elder Peterson
