My week was good John got baptized and I gave him balloons some pens . Yellow balloons and sun glasses you sent me with as a missionary I am not allowed to wear sun glasses . We found 6 new investigators most of those seem serious so I think they will progress we will just have to work on getting them to church . Our bishop is super good he gives closing remarks at every baptism and they seem tailored to each investigator which is so cool . Johns dad came to the baptism that was fun he is a very quiet guy but he is very happy that John got baptized and even him he could see the difference from our church and others churches and the rumors that he has heard and if it wasn't for Elvis and his example John would never have been baptized in to our church which is a testament to living the commandments and just being an all around good person . Raphael Elvis cousin is really showing that he wants to change his ways now he is working on getting rid of bad influences so he can work on the word of wisdom . He acts a lot different now and I am glad that he is showing that true desire to change but I want it to happen.  He is going to try to live with Elvis to help him curb his bad habits and all that . Elvis really is the pillar for all our investigators he is all around a great member and he I think is being prepared to be a leader in the church like bishops first counselor or something like that.
