10/12 email


Hmmm new and exciting?! THis last week and weekend were the best of my mission, it was awesome! ALright i will start with Chris Jensen.


So Chris is having his baptism on the 24th of October! Everything is going great with him. We go over about once a day right now just to make sure things are still going well. He is way pumped for his baptism and he wants me to be the one to baptize him. I am totally honored by that kid for wanting me to do it, i am way excited for him and i am happy i'll get a chance to be a part of a baptism! It will be amazing, he has been so good, he has come to church 4 weeks in a row, he is reading in the book of mormon and he is saying his prayers and things are just going really well for him. And he is starting to make good friends with the youth in this ward too, especially with sam egan. And they are having a sleepover this weekend with all the deacons to play xbox and just hang out, that will be perfect for chris, he loooooves videogames. So keep him in your prayers, ok?


Alright next is this new spanish lady we met named Maria. She is hilarious, she grew up with her mom speaking english and her dad speaking spanish, so she can really speak either of them very well so she just kinda does a combo of both. Haha its awesome. So anyways we just starting teaching her last thursday, i think, and she has already been reading what we asked of her in the book of mormon and she came to church! That is sooo huge, so many people never go to church. And we had another appt with her on sunday afternoon, and she is loving it. We taught about the gospel of Jesus Chirst, and she has a baptism date now for Nov. 13th. She is amazing and she really likes church and wants to be a part of it. She is a nice old lady who lives alone and has to work since her husband died, and this gospel will help her out so much. So keep Maria in your prayers too!


And next is my favorite part of the last weekend. Greg Jackson, like one of my favorite investigators ever, was at church with us too! Hahha and the crazy thing is, he was in jail this week too! Haha man he was falsely accused for some drug crimes and was released, and we asked him to come to church with us and he did. ANd since it was testimony meeting, he bore is testimony about how amazing the missionaries are and how elder westley and i became not just his freinds but we are his brothers. it was epic, and everyone loved him, and he loved it hard. So keep Greg in your prayers too, he is a really good guy, he has a rough past, but we are working with him.


And on sunday night too was Elder Cooks 21 bday, so we threw a suprise bday for him, and we owned him with silly string and everything. it was aweomse. haha jess would love elder cook, and he lives in mesa, and he come home in 3 weeks!


That is soo coool you guys keep finding time to hang out with megan. I bet she loves it, and i love it, and i bet you guys love it hard. Haha how about you tell my bum brothers to write me some emails! I have heard from joel i think 3 times and drew once! haha they are noobs. I loved that little story about Reese, man she sounded soooo dang mad! You gotta get me some pictures of Maddux's new room, that has to be awesome. And don't worry sam is in my prayers everynight, all you guys are, no lie i can't say a prayer without thanking heavenly father for the amazing family he sent me. So don't worry you are always in my prayers. Well i love you guys and i hope you have a great week, let me know about sam, and thanks for sending stuff i hope i get it soon, and if you don't send it for a while remember just to send it to the missions office if its near the beginning of the next month. Love you guys! Love you mom!


Love,
Elder Bobo
