We are working well down here in South Harbor. We are almost done with transitioning from filtering out all the investigators that are not progressing towards baptism and keeping the ones who are progressing. We are seeking the Lord's help as we undertake this often difficult process of evaluting your investigators and keeping only the ones who have already been prepared by the Lord to be baptized.
Eric is making huge progress for an athiest. He is reading the Book of Mormon every day and he even prayed about it! This is obviously a huge step for someone who has very very minimal faith left in God. He really does have a sincere desire to know the truth. We are helping him to relight the faith that he had growing up. We also just started teaching his sister, who is not an athiest. We will see how that goes.
Hermana Marina Suazo is still doing very well and coming to church every Sunday. We hope to work with her non member husband soon! She is one more member closer to the El Cabrillo branch becoming a ward!
Hermano Alejandro Campuzano is another less active we are working with. He has recently started coming back to church. President Jorgenson and we are helping him to quit smoking. This is the only thing that is holding him back from recieving the Melchezidek priesthood. We are helping the branch get the 20 active tithe paying Melchezidek priesthood holders that the Stake has said the Branch needs for it to become a ward.
I am reading through the Book of Mormon in Spanish right now and studying Preach My Gospel cover to cover. I hope to complete my goal of finishing both before the end of my mission!
