And so a week happened‏

All is well. We invite pretty much everyone to baptism. Not all of them are really serious about it, but they usually say yes. There are about 6 people who are super positive, la Familia R, V, C U, and C, who could be baptized in a relatively short order. We continue looking.

We had some good exchanges Friday. I learned the true interpretation of Matthew 16 (Peter is blessed because he received revelation, which is contrasted with the lack of revelation on the part of the masses, who did not search it. Thus the Lord blessed Peter and taught the disciples that the Church founded on revelation would never fail. Thus the commandment- tell no one that the Lord was Christ for the people needed to seek their answers from God, not man. Plus, the Church couldn't be founded on Peter given that Peter gives into temptation within 5 verses and is named Satan by Christ). But yeah, revelation is super super important, because without it, man is left alone.

I have more than 1 year in El Salvador now, since Wednesday.

We went bowling with President today but I'm still terrible at bowling. Throwing gutterballs can only be so entertaining. But it was cool and we saw a ton of other missionaries.

Changes are next week.

And the 171st anniversary of the martyrdom of Joseph Smith was Saturday.

Have a week full of revelation! Revelation can be a constant process! And it makes you happy!

Be obedient and diligent in all your duties to God!

Elder Newman
