They still have their two baptisms pending. He thinks that Lupe will still be able to get baptized on December 30, as planned, although her short hospital stay means she's recovering a little, so it is possible they will need to postpone. The other person, Charlene, has been hard to connect with recently since her phone number was changed/cancelled - so they are working on re-establishing consistent contact with her. There's always something to keep them on their toes.
They are enjoying working with one of their newer friends named Daniel. They really appreciate the fact that he has sincere interest, is open and willing to listen, but also readily asks questions when there's something he doesn't understand (apparently some others just give a blank stare). They also really got a kick out of their meeting with a man that wanted to talk to them. He apparently joined the church more than 20 years ago, but doesn't attend, and has some very interesting beliefs. So their meeting will be a single one, since it didn't seem that it would be productive to meet with him again, when he's just trying to convince them that the church doesn't realize what he knows.
When we talked to Elder Wood today, they had recently finished their Preparation Day activity with their district, which mainly consisted of some indoor games at the church building. Elder Wood and Elder Peterson then headed to the nearby Raising Cane's restaurant - one that we'd sent him some gift cards to as an early Christmas present. Missionaries are always happy to have food! He also confirmed that the package we'd sent to him with Christmas gifts, plus a few new white shirts (his pens leaked on some of the ones he had) arrived safely, so he's all set for Christmas!
Few pictures this week, so enjoy the birds!
