Moving day!








Well we have a change of address as of today. Yesterday we had our bags all packed, and this morning we got up at five-thirty, ready to get the moving van a going. It was going to be really expensive to make the trip in two loads, but we a had a sort fish and loaves miracle, and we were able to make everything in one trip. Much of today was spent reassembling beds and unpacking clothes. I was able to find some time to take a nap in the middle of everything. Our new house is really awesome. We have a lot more room and a rooftop view of downtown.
We were going to have a baptism Friday, but our baptism´s dad didn´t think she was ready, and that she needed to visit the church at least for four months, but she works most Sundays, so we´re trying to find her a new job.
This last week some pretty awesome stuff happened. We contacted an elderly couple, and the wife said that she had always seen missionaries walking the street, and had always wanted to know what it was they did, but never had the chance. She and her husband came to church on Sunday, and I´m praying that they´ll get baptized next week.
Someone tried to baptize me this week. We were sitting at a bus stop, talking with a girl, to see if we could teach her, when a pastor of another church comes up and invites to get baptized on the 14th, in the name of Christ. He also told the girl we were talking to that she could get baptized too, but that she´d have to give up adultery. We tried to ask him about how his church had authority to baptize, but he just ignored our questions and snapped at us to pay attention, when we´d look down the street for our bus. It took everything I had to keep from laughing.
We heard that our mission President might be visiting soon, to have interviews with some of the men in the branch, so that they can receive the Mel. Priesthood.
I think that that´s about all I have to share week. More exciting things to come.
Love,
Elder David Short
