Saturday at 1 o'clock, Sean was baptised and confirmed. I've been seeing Sean since I got to Wyoming, and before I had gotten here he had had a baptismal date, but it had to be postponed till his dad could come up to baptize him. Finally we set a rock solid date, and it went through. It's been pretty amazing teaching Sean. Sean is 9 and has some sort of mental problem where he has about a hundred micro seizures a day. When he has one of these micro seizures he'll look off to the side, and he'll forget everything that has been said in the last five minutes, but when we've been teaching him we'll ask about things that we've talked about in previous weeks and in the lessons, and he'll remember! His mom and step dad were shocked and amazed.
This past week we've been in a tripanionship with Elder Trujillo from our district. His companion was transferred, so he had to wait with us till he got his new one. Work is hard when in a tripanionship, but next week we're going to make the work explode! Elder Trujillo's new campanion, Elder Berquist, is also a visa waiter.
We went to a member's house for dinner this week, and they showed us all of their hunting trophies from their hunt in Africa. They promised us that if we came again that they'd feed us rocky mountain oysters. I'm excited for our return.
We are very excited, because we had our first lesson with Brian. Brian moved here not too long ago and is looking for the truth, because he believes that all the other churches he's researched don't have the full truth. During our first lesson he soaked up the message. We gave him a Book of Mormon and told us that if we didn't come back tomorrow that he'd have the whole book read. I'm so excited to meet with him again.
More exciting news to be coming to you next week.
Love,
Elder David Short
P.S. No word on my visa, but I have been told that Elder Costa of the Seventy is going down to Brazil to speed up the process.
