Greeting from Missionaryville, all ye that read my emails. Things with one exception have gone normally and according to plan. The short version is that my companion got locked out, so he slept in the room next to ours. The police got involved, and I along with a horde of other missionaries and the police spent the entire night looking everywhere except the room next door. Just as an update with Erika, we taught her about faith and the Atonement of Christ in our last lesson. We were also able to help resolve her concerns about temple marriage (her boyfriend is a member). Paula is doing well after our last lesson, and now I know that she is a role playing TRC because a couple Elders in my district were assigned to teach her this week, and she apparently forgot everything we had taught her, so I guess there is no first baptism yet. This week I have been teaching Ny (pronounced like knee) and she is from Madagascar. She is also really quiet and doesn't really trust Elder Goertzen and I yet. Granted, we have only had one lesson so far, so maybe that will be different tomorrow. Megan, on the other hand, is a BYU student who grew up in an LDS family but was never baptized. She is very talkative, and has a lot of questions. The thing that we have been focusing on with her is, first of all, being able to recognize the impressions of the Spirit, and second, baptism. She is so scared of the baptismal covenant that she doesn't want to commit to baptism. I hope we can help ease her mind on the matter tomorrow, though. Beyond that, I only have a few days left in the MTC because I fly out into the field on Tuesday. I love you all!
