Hello everyone. The lesson we had with the Bonilla family was a good one. We went over the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them for the second time (this is the one that deals with baptism and why it's important. We even brought a recently returned missionary with us from the La Canada ward. At the end of the lesson we asked them if they would be baptized once they came to know the Book of Mormon is true. The mom and the kids gladly said they would and that it'd be the obvious course to take. The father, however, still maintains that he is doing this to support his wife, so he told us he couldn't give a direct answer at this point. That was a little bit of a let down to hear; we felt like he was further along than that, but he still comes to church with the family and remembers just about everything from the lessons. I'm sure he'll come around, eventually.
Aside from that, lots of going door to door in the neighborhoods. With that - a lot of rejection. People often think of tracting and imagine doors slammed in missionaries' faces unceremoniously. I will say that happens hardly ever, but our encounters with people are still pretty short, nonetheless. I was on exchanges with our district leader on Saturday and we were at it for four hours straight. We did come across a super nice lady named Hannah. She goes to Lutheran and let us teach most of the first lesson to her on the doorstep. She took a Book of Mormon and said she'd need a good amount of time to look at it. We set up a return appointment for a little ways in the future, but she seems to have the intent to read it. It was certainly worth the effort; I pray something good comes from it in the long run.
I love you guys, I hope you have a good, safe week,

Elder Miller
