Email from Elder Lofthouse 4/16/2013

What in the world??  Dad has a beard!  Sorry, that really threw me off there for a second.  I'm so excited about Eric though!  That's so great!  I'm glad things are going well back home.

Well, here we are again, on Tuesday afternoon, and once again I can't remember what has happened in the past week.  Things here can change so much, so quickly!  Conference feels like it was a month ago.

V and her two kids are supposed to be getting baptized this Saturday, and they were so solid. But they didn't come to church on Sunday because of a friend or something.  The adversary is always putting things in people's ways when it comes to going to church.  We should have had more foresight and warned her that something was probably going to come up that would make it difficult to come to church the last Sunday before her baptism.  If she reads the Book of Mormon every day this week and we can keep daily contact with her, we'll probably still baptize them this Saturday, but if not we'll be pushing it back (again).  

We had an investigator come to church who Elder Hernandez and his companion had dropped just before I got here because her husband wouldn't let her come.  We re-visited her not too long ago and then had another lesson with her and her member neighbor, and I guess her husband is out of town or something, because she came to church!  She actually gave her neighbor a ride and brought her daughter as well.

M and R came too.  It was Fast Sunday and M said she almost cried during one of the testimonies.  I think we forgot to mention to them that church would be three hours long, but they still really enjoyed it and will be coming back!  

Well, I hope everyone is doing well!  I love you!
