Brother Garcia came to church again with his family and he has warmed up to us missionaries a lot more. When I first got into the area he wouldn't join in the lessons or come to church but now not only does he sit in and listen to the new member lessons but he also participates and adds his thoughts. He has come to church for several weeks now and has seemed more happy. Besides church he hasn't been reading from the Book of Mormon or keeping other commitments we extend. Our goal this week is to get him to pray and see if this is something he needs to do for himself and also his family. Hopefully he will start to read with the family as well.
Marta didn't come to church again so she doesn't have a baptismal date right now. We haven't been able to meet with her in about a week now but we have a lesson tonight as we go on splits. My companion will be going to the lesson while I teach the Garcia's so hopefully they have a great lesson with her and can help her resolve her needs and concerns. Chelsea Baker and her family came to church for the first time in our Ward this week since they moved in a week ago. They seemed to be welcomed to church by a lot of the member which is great. Her date is still not until the 20th of August because that's when family is coming in town.
Today we wrote our last letters to President Slaughter and I have my last District Leader Council on Wednesday with President Slaughter as well. President Polley will be coming on the first of the month. It will be interesting to see the changes that he makes and to see if the missions culture changes at all. Change is fun but it will also be hard having the Slaughters leave.
