Everything is going good here in Paris. :) In the past 3 weeks we have really started to get some people looking into the church and are really getting interested! The gospel is a wild fire here in the south. Just to say some numbers, right now in Paris we are teaching 32 people (investigators). Things are looking good :) But for some odd reason no one will commit to baptism. But we teach them and they love everything, so I guess it's just not their time yet. We had a member of the seventy come last Wednesday and he told us that this mission is working too hard... our numbers are the highest for english missions but we are not getting baptisms. So we were told to start working smarter. I was wondering to myself, "Is that possible?" lol
Today has started out with a crazy twist: we already talked to this kid named Jake. He is 19 and borderline homeless, we gave him some food that we had at the apartment... We have been meeting with Jake for the past two weeks and we finally set up an apointment at the church for tomorrow.
So I have been baking lots of cookies. I'm getting real good at that. lol. Last night I made some snickerdoodles from scratch. They were so goood! lol. I have been giving them to everyone. It really makes them feel good. :) Little do they know that I have been making them lol.... So for this Thanksgiving we have two families who are going to feed us. First we got the Barrons, a part member family at 2:30, and then around 5:00 the Vasquez family, a new convert family who is going to the temple real soon.
