Pamplona and Recreation

Dear Family,

To give some background to this story about 2 years ago my companion tore his ACL or something like that and they just barely operated on it this last December. He walks fine and he doesn't complain about the pain but he has got one of those things you slip around your knee and he proselytes like that. I am not sure what he feels but his shoes probably aren't helping at all just because they are dress shoes and not so much walking shoes so it was decided that we buy him black tennis slash running shoes to proselyte in. Let's just say that this week we were scraping the bottom of the bucket financially waiting for our reimbursement. Don't worry mom, miracles still happen with our without money (like members buying us pizza haha).

After walking home from English class with Luis his dad basically told us "not yet" as far as baptism and that includes Luis' baptism. We are still going to continue teaching him and I am sure he will be baptized just not now.

We also decided that it would be a million times better that Jordan gets baptized with his mom and dad, which is just around the corner because they have plans to get married in May. Everybody wins because Jordan will still be able to go to boys camp. They have been taking lessons since last July! 

What is even better is that an investigator who has been taking lessons for more than 2 years waiting for his papers to get married will finally get married the 6th of April. That is a free baptism that we did little to deserve.

My one and only invitation to the reader of this email is to watch General Conference this week. I don't care who you are or if you're just reading this to clear it off your inbox WATCH GENERAL CONFERENCE. It will be the best decision of this week and I promise you won't regret it. Any primary kid can tell you to follow the prophet but that will be pretty hard to do if you don't know what he is saying.

I personally testify that there are prophets who walk on this earth today. Modern day Peter, James and John exist, their names just might appear to be Russell, Dallin and Henry but the office is the same. I love that there is a God who is so caring that he sends us these messengers. You will know that God speaks, yes I mean the present verb. I love this church and I know its true. I am also really excited to see who the new apostles will be, my money is on Elder Clayton and slash or Elder Pingree but that might only be something interesting to a missionary. 

Have the best week don't forget to read the Book of Mormon.

Love you all,

Elder Craythorne
