We have 2 investigators right now who have a ton of potential to get
baptized soon. One is a 23 year old who's mom is in the Relief Society
presidency. She is super cool and we just want her to get baptized
already! She only doesnt want to get baptized because her Dad is
catholic and she doesnt want to upset him. She is reading and praying
and she came to church for the 2nd time last week. We are also
teaching another investigator who is from Cuba! She is wants to get
baptized on the 6th of Feb. She already even asked one of the Hermanos
in the ward if he would baptize her. She always talks about getting
baptized. She is basically a golden investigator, its pretty awesome.
We don't even really have to do much, she has a desire to change.

This past week there was a broadcast for all the missionaries in the
World by the missionary executive council. It was so good and they
really went to the basics of things to help us to become better
missionaries. I have really been trying to take Elder Bednar's advice
on helping investigators recognize the spirit. Not just saying "Hey
this is the spirit", but asking questions to help them recognize for
themselves that it is indeed the spirit. I think that is something
that is hard to master, but I am working on it. There are so many
things that I need to work on to become a better missionary, but I
think i am doing pretty good at keeping the line to progression going
straight up. :)

Last week we found that crazy lady again but this time she was super
calm and so we street contacted her. That night we saw her AGAIN and
she told us she loved us. Her name is Lisa. She is super funny. We
always hope we will see her again.

This week I went on Exchanges again with Sister Briggs! She really
helped me with some things in the area and in missionary work. I think
it was a good exchange and that we got to help each other :) It was a
pretty good day and one of the less actives wants us to set her up
with a 79 year old man......she told us she is not joking. The other
day sister Romero and I went to visit another less active and she told
me she wanted me to set her up with a man from Idaho because she likes
cowboys. So mom if you know anybody, let me know. She only speaks
spanish and she says he has to be around 50.

We went to a place called Sunset Cliffs today, but I forgot my cord
for my camera so I will have to send pictures next week.

Love,
Hermana Lapp

Y'all know I take car selfies. Just sending this one because......well
I haven't sent a picture in a long time. We went to sunset cliffs
today and so I will send those pictures next week.
