Elder Derek Morgan: Week 50 - There really isn't a subject

Family!!!

Love you all so much!!!

This week...... Was hard. Lots of walking around and little results seen in our area,

However, the biggest success of this week was in the work of the zone. Last week we challenged the zone to find more new people this week. We had been pretty low in finding. So we really got them pumped up. 2 weeks ago we found 31 people in the whole zone. Really low! This week.... 70! Much better. It just goes to show that when you help someone see the importance of doing something, and then invite them to do it.... they do it!!!! Miracles.

This week we also baptized Cesar!!! He's the kid of an investigator that we have. She can't get baptized right now because she's not legally married, but soon!!!! He's so cool. He decided to be baptized all by himself. He's a stud! This family literally is a family that's been prepared by The Lord. After his baptism, his mom told him, "Cesar, you're the first to be baptized, but soon we all will be members"!!!! They're so awesome. They all have the Gospel Library on their phones! haha.

Finally made it near the ocean

Anyways, that's about it this week. Crazy story of the week. Me and this one Elder were walking along when all of the sudden this guy runs up next to us and begins to explain that he had just forcefully escaped from a rehab center. It was pretty crazy. People were chasing after him, looking for him. In those sorts of situations, I always just make sure to listen really closely to the Spirit to see if I'm in danger. I felt fine. He ended up just walking with us for a little bit and then hoped on a bus. The things you see as a missionary!
