Picadillo Ranchero

Hello Friends & Family!

Fasting works! We have a small spanish group in Huntington, UT. Last week, only 2 people came besides leadership and us missionaries. We had to combine with the English ward for Sacrament Meeting. We decided to fast Saturday night and yesterday for both our branch & group (Huntington & Price). Yesterday, about 20 people came! It was testimony meeting, and it was very spiritual. I'm really excited that our investigators came with their friends & family. Some things don't happen but by fasting and prayer I guess (as told in the bible).

We have one investigator named Melchor. He was with us in Huntington when we were at an investigator's house (family/friend of Melchor). We put on the movie "To this end was I born", which describes briefly the life of Jesus & his crucifixion and resurrection. At the end we were talking and suddenly he asked us "when can you baptize all of us?". The investigator that we were visiting couldn't get baptized yet because she has to get married first, but they are waiting on citizenship before they can marry (it would add like 10 years to the waiting time). The other person in the house was already a member. So we told him 'As soon as you're ready'. He said he wanted to talk with his wife (living in California with the kids while he is looking for work here) first, but that he wants to be baptized in the church. He's such a great person, and we're excited!

Well that about sums up the exciting events of this week!

Love you all,
Elder Bunker
