Hello Friends and Family,

On my way walking to write for the week, I ran into an old Investigator from Tuman. His name is Jose and he just informed me that he got married and was baptized this Saturday. I asked him about his mom and her husband. (La familia Santa Cruz) from Villa Hermosa. He told me they also got married and were baptized. I am so happy right now. Although I wasn't able to see their baptisms, I know we are planting seeds for future missionaries. Finding, teaching and baptizing are all very important in missionary work. Now for the funny story of the week. My companion and I were teaching an older less active man that is almost blind. Every time his dog would bark in the lesson, he would try to slap the dog with a fly swatter. What he didn't know is that the dog was behind him barking. Because of his lack of vision, I got swatted with a fly swatter every time the dog barked. haha! The room was also so small that I could not escape this old man hitting me with his fly swatter. We had a hard time teaching because we were laughing so dang hard! We did have some success because he came to church Sunday. Every day is a new day here in the mission field.  I am so glad I still have some time left to knock a few more doors and bless a few more lives. Take care.

Love,

Elder Goold
