BON DIA NA TUR‏ (email dated 1/11/2010)

Wow, another transfer in the books and a new one just starting up! Its sarting off really good right now also with a lot of potential. All the hard work last transfer is starting to pay off right now. We have a baptismal date for the 30th of january with Marlone but he still has a little way to go. I really feel he needs to understand the importance of prayer in his conversion and his decision he's going to make better. So this next week we're going to have to see what we can do to help him out with that. He's reading everything we give to him which is awesome, but he did miss out on church this week. We past by his house afterward to see what happened and his nephew came out and told us he was feeling sick and to call him today... thats not always the best sign when that happens, but we'll give him the benifit of the doubt for now until we see him againg tomorrow. I feel he's a little nervous right now but i think if he can get to church next week it will smooth everything out. So were going to keep Malone in our prayers!

Also last week we came across a really cool Dominican lady named Glen and her daughter Isglainy who's 9 years old. Their great and love us coming over to teach them about the restoration. Glen is even understanding pretty well all we've taught her in only 2 visits. She even said she'd be bapized if she feels in her heart what we teach is true; and we all know its true its just up to her to ask our Heavenly Father. I have a lot of hope for her though. The obstacle for her though is going to be getting her to church... But we'll figure something out.

So things here on the island of Curacao are starting to look pretty good! We just got to keep on doing our part and the Lord for sure will do his part.

Oh yeah and by the way having a Puerto Rican companion is pretty fun because i'm starting to pick my spanish back up after not having used it for so long. It will come back fast though. It was pretty cool yesterday we taught a lesson in Papiamentu and then English and then Spanish to top the day off. I never thought in my life i'd be going in and out of 3 different languages. The Lord really prepares us for our callings if we do our part.
Man the mission is AWESOME!

sorry time is running out so i'm going to have to end this weeks email.
Love you,
Elder Lopez
