As in Adam, All Commitments Fall

Sorry this letter is late.  I have been out of town for the past 2 weeks.  I have put his last 2 letters into this one email.  Jess will be coming home on the 28th of August.  We are planning to have a welcome home party for him on Friday August 29th at 7pm.  It will be at our house and I know he would love to have you come and visit. Have a great week!

From Jess Angus sent August 4th.

This last week was pretty interesting. Although the situation of our area hasn't changed much, the members are getting really excited to help me out before the end of the mission. Literally, the members are making plans to get as much work done as possible in the next three weeks so that when I return home, I can return "wet with the waters of baptism." Basically they want me to go GH (Gloria dos homens/ glory of men) and you know what, I'm actually fine with that. Of course, I don't work for praises, but I just love the idea of finishing the mission with one final success and a blessing from the Lord. I hope it all goes well. 

Anyway, a lot of stuff happened this week. One of our investigators was living together with her boyfriend, and we were helping them get things together so they could get married, when her boyfriend simply states "I will not get married!" But, to our pleasant surprise, she responded firmly to him "I want to follow God and be baptized! Either you get married with me or I'm moving out!" He hasn't decided yet, but it makes me happy to see someone finally putting their priorities in good order. :) We also ended up helping the other Elders in their Baptismal service singing a special number, Savior Redeemer of my Soul, which ended up stuck in my head for the whole week. Finally, as we arrived close to the end of the week, our numbers were still really low, but we had tons of people to visit on the weekend. So, to help us out, the other Elders returned the favor and we did splits in our area, divided the area between the two pairs, and then we just went for it, trying to teach as many people as possible. We had little success, but we felt really good at the end of the day because we had never worked so hard. 

Anyway, I lost a lot of time because the computer logged off on me. So, until next time!
