Happy October wit 100 Degree Weather

Attention Smurfs and Smurfettes:

Sorry this will be short. We just got back from the San Diego Zoo with a less Active member. It was a lot of fun and really hot! Funny how I've been to the Mayan Ruins, France, Quebec, Washington, D.C., and London, but today was my first time seeing a Giraffe, Elephant, and Panda! It was so fun! I'll try and send some pics along too.

This past Sunday we fasted as a companionship to know how to help Dulce, who has a date for Oct 27, keep progressing. Her husband has been studying with the Jehovah's Witness because Dulce's cousin is a member and they have a close relationship. He is a pretty shy guy and won't come to the dinners our members have been inviting them to and he won't come to church with her...or at least dulce is not willing to push it but he really is a supportive guy. So we were at a loss of how to approach him for the 2nd or 3rd time. She hasn't exactly told him how committed she is...like that she is planning to be baptized in less than 4 weeks. She hungers for her family to be there with her at her baptism and to understand what she is preparing for and to really be excited for her. So...by the time Sunday night rolled around we decided to stop by and set up a time to meet with dulce. She wasn't home...but Enner was. It was all small talk at first like always and then I anxiously sought guidance from Heaven. The question "how do you feel about us teaching dulce?" came out. He didn't exactly answer that question but he really did open up! It was really great! he talked w/ us for 45 minutes and he did most of the talking!!!! He normally never says more than 2 sentences at a time. FASTING WORKS! Of course, he want to think about whether he wants to learn w/ dulce or not. He says he wants to make sure that he is ready to fully focus and pay attention. IT was neat though because he expressed a lot of his somewhat negative experiences in the past w/ missionaries...that was huge for him and for us! I love it! Please pray for this family...they are so ready...we just need more opportunities to teach them!

Love you all! Keep doing your best.
