Email #7

Good Afternoon!!!

So a member in the ward (Bro and Sis Lewis) let us come and use their computers to email home today. You are probably on the road back home, but I'll give you the run down for the week. 
We got snow yesterday!!!! a good 3-4 inches of it!! We had to go home early because Pres. Perry felt it was unsafe for us to be out driving on the icy/snowed over roads. Nothing really too special happened this week. We have to push Veronica's baptism back to march sometime. She wasnt able to make it to church this week because of work and she wasnt feeling well. We had a lot of lessons fall through this week, so we werent able to teach many people. Out of the people we were able to teach, 2 of them said yes to our baptismal invites so hopefully when we meet with them again on wednesday we can set them with a date. Im trying to think of what to write about, but nothing is coming to mind!!! 
We had a district meeting on thursday, which was pretty cool. The topic was baptismal invites and our training went really well. The whole point of it was to listen with our hearts so that we are able to address the concerns of our investigators about being baptized. We were able to use it in our lesson today with two of our investigators. the concern was "well i have already been baptized, why do i need to be baptized again?" so we had to explain about the priesthood the authority that comes from having the priesthood. They understood it after we explained it to them, but they want to keep reading and praying before they give us an answer. hopefully when we meet with them again, they will have received an answer and commit to baptism. 
I am doing a companionship exchange with Elder McClure in Wakefield. We are doing that on Thursday after our district meeting and will last til friday night. I was supposed to do one tomorrow with an elder from Rancho Cucamonga, Elder McDermott. He is a super cool guy and has been out one transfer longer than what ive been out. It fell through this morning because something came up in their scheduling that he couldnt miss. We have a full schedule full of appointments this week, so wish us luck!
The weather here is super weird. It rained all day yesterday til about 5pm and then it turned into snow. its 50 degrees today and all of the 4 inches of snow we got is already melted. Im pretty bummed because i love snow!!!!
So Jt's baptism was good? Was it good seeing everyone?  how was los al ward? Im sorry, i feel like im ranting on and im not giving any info on this past week. Hopefully this week will be more eventful and we will have more success!!!!! I love you all and miss you!!

Love,
Elder Baldwin
