Hello everybody. I am now in Lubbock Texas in the Caprock ward. It has already been super super fun. We've got Johnny, Melvin and Ray on date for baptism, and I wanna share a little bit about Johhny because he's super cool. When we first met him, I was like wow Ok, we're gonna be dropping this guy so fast. He did not seem interested at all. He was just sitting outside his door clipping his fingernails, and was just giving us nothing to work with. But we gave him a Book of Mormon and set up a time to come back. When we came back, we were like "so Johnny, didja read anything?" And he was like "yeah I like to read" and had marked up the first half of 3 Nephi 11. He was talking about baptism and then said "yeah I've been baptized." Anyways we read the rest of 3 Nephi with him, explaining baptism, authority, and the gift of the holy ghost as we read, and the we were like "so Johnny what do you think is your next step?" And he was like "well I oughta get baptized before I get out of here" (hes super old). Anyways, he came to church yesterday, and we found out that he drove to the church on Saturday just to make sure he knew where it was before Sunday, and he's loving the Book of Mormon. He's super cool. He's also next door neighbors to Melvin, who also wants to get baptized, and so they're both getting baptized together on October 11th! Anyways, my companion is super fun, and a super hard worker. The ward is incredible and super involved in the work here. Please pray for our friends!
