This Sunday was crazy! We had 8 investigators at church and we only thought we would have maybe two. The Roman family (parents only speak Spanish but kids speak English) said they weren't going to be able to come but then randomly showed up about ten minutes into sacrament meeting. The father and three of his kids showed up and we had to try and find a translator but couldn't so we just had them seat next to brother Flores who was able to translate to the father. Later that night we had a lesson with the whole family (5 in total) and invited them to be baptized. They said that they will pray and if they find out that the Book of Mormon is true then they will be baptized. I just sat there most of the lesson and didn't understand anything but I could feel the spirit and hope that they will study the Book of Mormon and pray about it.
Also we had the Brinkley family show up which is a part member/less active family. The mother is less active and the two daughters want to get involved in church and be baptized. The mom expressed how she wants to start coming back to church but that it will be very difficult with work on Sunday's. We have a date for the daughters for the first weekend in December.
When it rains in Texas it comes down. One week there is a wild fire because it is so dry and the next week there is flooding and the Bastrop park is all the way under water. Also many of the main highways in Austin were closed because of flooding so many of our members were stuck in Austin for the night. Here's a picture of a trailer park that is under water.
