Never Too Many White Shirts.

Hi Mom,

This week M and R were both baptised in the poderoso Tlaxcallan ward! M wasn't even sure she wanted to get baptised last week but had a great interview with Elder A and she asked him to baptise her after. Such a legend Elder A. R was super happy too, and this Sunday they were at church like 20 minutes early, which for us was a huge miracle (they always got there late). 

R didn't want to get baptised last week either, but after a really good talk with him, we figured out that it was really just because he was embarrassed to go to church in his street clothes (hes very poor, lives in a little room with a dirt floor), and he didn't have money to buy a white shirt. Luckily my mom (haha!) bought me tons of shirts before I left so I gave him one and a tie and he accepted to be baptised this Saturday at 3:00, you're all invited. He's hyped, and the ward is helping him a lot. Also K turns 18 today and can now take her own decision to be baptised this Saturday (also at 3:00). Super prepared girl. Maybe the strongest testimony I have felt in a convert in my whole mission. 

The ward is treating us really well too. A family invited us over to eat burgers this week in exchange for English help haha, they give us referrals, and new family moved in this week that was the branch president in a place called Zacatlan. Strong ward, but we need to keep it coming because they have the goal of 30 baptisms this year. 

This week we also had our first lessons with a lady named N who's married to an RM, and she accepted a baptismal date and came to church this week! Sometimes people have received answers that this is all true and they just haven't recognised it. In the lesson with her we invited her to pray right then and there to ask God if it was true and she didn't feel anything different, after that though, we kept talking about the experiences that she has had in the past and she told us that once she received a priesthood blessing and felt something that she couldn't explain, but that she wanted to feel again! There's your answer! Why are you still searching?!

Anyway, all good here.

Love Elder Lethaby
