Elder Pedro: Great week! Lots of Success!

Hello

I had one of the best weeks on my mission. Especially being in a Y.S.A ward. We found 5 new investigators and set 3 people to be baptized. It was so sweet! Its always a good feeling to work hard and to see blessing like that. Elder Brown and I are getting along well too! I really love the ward that I am serving in. Everyone is getting excited to do missionary work. We had interviews with President Toombs this week and he thanked me for enduring all the changes which have occurred down here. Our top investigator is named Eric he is getting baptized in two weeks. Then a girl named Megan will be baptized in a month. We have an investigator named Michael who has been coming to church forever  but he is on probation so he met with President Toombs and they are sending a letter to the first presidency to get approval. On Tuesday, we were late going to institute and when we were walking in we noticed a guy walking so we invited him to come to institute and we ended up teaching him 3 times this week. He came to church too. Good things are happening over here.

Elder Pedro Letter: A new area..

Hello

Things are going well for me. I hit my 19th month mark this week. Crazy how the time keeps flying by. The work is starting to pick up in the Flanders ward. We are teaching a ton and we are getting a lot of referrals. We have been starting to hit up the north part of our area, which is in Denver and is close to Down Town. It is ghetto and rich at the same time every block seems to be different. It has a sweet feel to it though. Elder brown and I are doing well! he cooks a lot of food and makes me eat it all.

Record Baptisms in Arvada!

It was a very good week for us. We taught so much. We area teaching most of the day now which is awesome. I have been in Arvada for 6 months so I am sure that I will be transferred next Monday. I am going to miss this area if I am. On Wednesday, I went on exchanges with Elder Reiber he is an AP I got to go down to Aurora and do some office work with him. On Thursday, we were very busy and drove all over our area. I had an opportunity to do something I have never done before. I dedicated a grave for one of the recent converts that I taught here in Arvada. Emily, one of our investigators was supposed to be baptized this coming Saturday but she wants to delay it a few weeks, I was pretty bummed because I wanted to be there for it. The Arvada zone is doing well we had 5 baptisms this month and President Toombs says that is a record for Arvada. Every Monday we have a conference call with all the zone leaders and President Toombs, today was the last time we had it as the ''Denver North'' mission as we knew it. It officially splits today. I gave the closing prayer (which means I am probably done as a Zone Leader)
