New Investigators!

Very excited about this week since we've got new people to teach for the first time since being transferred - seven people to be exact. That is a record for me personally on the mission. It is quite a blessing. How it happened was we had an open night for dinner last Tuesday and a less active we've never met from La Canada signed up for it. When we go over there, she tells us she has a friend who wants to have the missionaries come over to teach her and her kids. Plus Sis. Beauto - the less active - has a daughter who is participating in the cultural celebration for the Temple, but she hasn't been baptized, yet! So we taught her (her name is Sierra) along with the family who's friends with Sis. Beauto together on Thursday. The family's names are Melody (the mother), Bobby (father), Janea, Lalony, Andreas, and Lorenzo (can't use last names, sorry). It was a good lesson, and we gave them a chapel tour on Saturday, too. And guess what? They actually came to church yesterday! They received a very warm welcome from the ward (and by that I mean they were completely mobbed by members after sacrament meeting). They had to run right out after the block meetings (I hope we didn't scare them), but from what our ward mission leader told us they seemed to have a positive experience. We'll go back to teach them again on Tuesday.
This is the first time this area has had new investigators in at least two transfers, so it's quite a blessing to be a part of all this that is happening now. We now have a completely new non member family, an unbaptized child, and a less active who wants to come back to church to teach!
