The first picture is of Abel (in white) and his good buddy Angel. Angel has come to church and wants to get baptized as well, he's ten. We haven't met his family yet, but have an appointment with them on Wednesday. We're hoping to have some success there. He's a great boy. Abel's baptism went so well too. He's so cute. He paid his first tithing with us yesterday. He knows the Joseph Smith story, but in his own way. "He didn't know what church to go to, so he prayed. He saw two lights and one was Jesus and one was God. He asked which church was true and Heavenly Father told him,'don't worry, I'll help you.' " And that's how we have the church. :)
I gave Abel one of the CTR rings you sent with the granola (which I still LOVE, by the way.) He loves his CTR ring. He thinks it's the coolest thing! They don't really have them there. We're going to give another one to a little boy today for his 9th birthday. His name is Beni. His Mom isn't a member. His older brothers are but don't go. He got babpitzed about 9 months ago and gets him self all ready for church. He sits there on a row in the back all by himself and then we invite him to come sit with us and our investigators and he's always so happy. I'm really looking forward to giving it to him. Another one we are giving to a little 7 year old named Kristen. She is so sweet. Her parents are less active as well. We have been visiting them and she loves to hear the Book of Mormon stories. Last time we told her about Nephi's broken bow and how when we need help we can always pray and ask our parents too. Her whole family came to church last week and I was so happy to see them!
