No Sleep till Horizonte (Week #56)

Hello all!
And WOW Im tired!
This last week was crazy and I am still adjusting to the even faster paced schedule!
Elder Mortensen is awesome and we mess around a lot, but he is so obediente, and super spiritual! Im learning a lot with him!
He is from Moapa Valley Nevada, and he is freaking tall and walks fast! So that was a little difficult this last week haha. The most memorable moment was when we were walking fast and I was doing my best to keep up and not complain, he looked at me and said ´´Your nitro boost bar is full, I repeat, your nitro boost bar is full´´ and he took off walking soo fast that I had to litterally run to keep up with him! 
But its all part of things. Horizonte is awesome! The members here are awesome and help a lot with missionary work! There is one sister here whose son is serving a mission, and since our ward doesnt have a ward missionary leader, she took it upon herself to lead us. Its pretty awesome actually. Last Friday we had a family who we were teaching that wanted to get baptised, but the mom, while loving the church, still isnt too sure about baptism and giving up some things to obey the commandments. So last Friday we brought our ´´Ward Missionary Leader´´ with us, who had already reached out on her own to get to know our investigator, and Elder Mortensen and I basically sat and watched these two sisters have a deep conversation for about 40 minutes, then our investigator cried out of gettin the feels, and we left! After the appointment we gave the sister from the ward the Baptisimal forms for her to pass by on saturday and get the mom to sign the baptisimal forms and it worked! This week the two kids of our investigator, Maria, who still havent been baptised, and we hope maria herself, will be baptised! And as Missionaries we did hardly anything! This just goes to show the magic that can happen when members really get involved in the work!
Other than that, like all areas Horizante has its difficulties, but were helping things improve, and were very excited for another week of doing the lords work!
I hope everyone is well!
Love Elder Ferrell
