Letter #94 (October 4, 2010)

Elder Lake and I had another good week.  The Vermudez family went to conference.  There were some complications with the spanish broadcast so they didn't get to listen to most of the conference in spanish.  But they enjoyed their time.  They have a baptism date for the 17th of October.  They need to keep their commitments and come to church and they'll be ready.
    We found out yesterday that one of our investigators who had a baptismal date for October 17th was actually baptized 2 years ago in Mexico.  He had told the missionaries that he had already been baptized.  We thought he meant he was baptized in the Catholic church.  We gave the branch clerk his information to confirm that he's already a member.
          Elder Lake is doing great things.  He has a sincere desire to do what's right.  We're having a great time.  We're teaching well.  We're following up.  We had a great member visit last night in which we asked the member to think about one of his friends during our brief study on Mosiah 27.  We taught the importance of praying with faith.  We then, got on our knees and he offered a prayer of how to help his friend this week so that his friend could receive the gospel.  He received the impression to study the scriptures during the week with his friend.  We told him that we'll follow-up on Thursday with his studying with his friend. 
     I'm grateful for this work.  I know that its true.

Love, Elder Olaya
