Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm very late e-mailing and I have a good reason! We went and withdrew money from the Bank yesterday, and got some exchanged, and the Bank accidentally gave us 15,000 too many pesos! So we came back to the office and were counting it up and we were pretty scared because we had no idea what was going on! We called the Bank and told them we thought they'd given us too much, and found out that they were balancing for the day and were 15,000 short and couldn't figure out what had happened! It turns out that some poor girl who is in training at the Bank had given us way too much on accident! We ran over to the bank as quick as we could and the poor girl was in tears! She looked so relieved to see us! That was my scheduled e-mail time yesterday!
It was another good week for us, and we have 4 baptisms this week! It will be an entire family! It's a mother and her three children (ages 12,11,8). Her husband is a returned Less-Active member and should be baptizing his wife and children. All in all, there's 8 of them (children are not baptized until they are 8 years old) in the family! That'll be on Sunday morning before church. We also have two potential other families that will be setting baptism dates!
We've been teaching T.S., a part-member father who is the fussiest man I've taught! His understanding is a little weak, but he has the best intentions and just wants to do what's right. He loves all the commandments we teach and he's so committed to living them. The other day we followed up on the Ten Commandments and asked him what he remembered and he said, "Don't do bad things, go to church, pray every day." We explained that these were all commandments, but not necessarily the 10 commandments. He said" Oh yeah I know that!! Like don't smoke or watch bad movies!" He's a sweet man and will get there! His wife is a member and is so solid and reads the Book of Mormon to him.
I'm sorry this is really short, I'm sending some pictures which I hope should make up for it!!
Love,
Elder Yost
