Wow, this week flew by! Hermana Fluckiger and I gave a training in MLC this week, and we had to think twice when it actually was. It feels like days ago!
Our investigator, José, is doing so well! He reads and prays every day and attends church each week. He is progressing towards baptism on the 21st of October, but he still has days where he is really worked on by Satan. He said that he has something telling him not be baptized and so he then he spirals. He also had his best friend tell him that he is going to the wrong church, so that really worked on him. We are breaking through day by day, but it's still hard to help him overcome Satan's strategies. On the other side of it, we have had some really neat moments with him. He has already shared his testimony with us in our last two lessons. It was really neat! We love him like he's our brother.
On Monday night we talked to him over the phone, and he said he had some bad news. He talked to his mom, and she told him he couldn't go to our church because they belong to another religion. We asked him what he was going to do, and he said he was going to go to our church. He told us how much he has changed since we started teaching him and how he wants to press forward. "Saben algo?/Do you know something?" "Qué?/What?" "Ustedes son mi familia/You are my family." Wow, we about burst into tears. He is the reason we are here on our missions.
The gospel changes lives. I don't know what more to say on that, but it truly changes lives. We love José and are so happy for him to be baptized.
Gospel love,

José is the world's greatest investigator. He came and helped us set up for our ward Genealogy Seminar.
We gave José his baptismal calendar, and he was smiling from ear to ear.
