Bring back DHT!

Hi Everyone!

Things are still going great here in the Rockies, we're working hard and seeing the Lord bless us in many ways. We coordinated with the mission, and we'll be changing apartments in a couple more weeks.

We've been getting bit less and less, due to moving our mattresses to the living room (I'll take a picture :)) and also repeated treatments by us and the exterminators. Things with the contract and the situation worked out nicely, we found out that if our contract hadn't expired at the end of this month we basically would have been stuck here, because bed bugs aren't a good enough reason to break the contract for medical reasons.

We're told it's because it's at an epidemic level right now in the US, and it's not anywhere near under control. Bring back DHT!

We taught the Word of Wisdom to Esteban and Lourdes, our top investigators, and they completely committed themselves to living it, even though she has a coffee habit and he likes an occasional tequila. They're really progressing and dedicating themselves to the Lord, I'm really excited for them!

It'll be a little while before they go to church and can get baptized, because Lourdes works on Sundays and right now can't get out of her contract, we'll see what the Lord has prepared but we're going to start bringing members with us so they'll be a part of the branch before the even go!

We want to get them a really easy transition, a lot of times it's hard for people to get used to such a small branch.

We're having our mission toured by one of the Seventy, that'll happen in about a month and so to prepare us, we've been instructed to only listen to hymns, MoTab style and appropriate for sacrament meetings.

We're being obedient to that, the only challenge is that we don't have any hymn CDs. We'll get our hands on some soon though, and I think it'll be really good preparation spiritually.

My trainee, Elder Alvarez, is progressing really well and is learning a lot. He's a really good missionary and wants to work hard and be obedient, he's soaking up the experience here and is becoming effective quickly.

He's 22, and comes from Bakersfield California, born to Mexican parents here in the US. His extra age and experience are making it a fast adjustment to mission life, he's a great companion and we'll be accomplishing a lot together!

I hope you're all doing well, have a great week and stay close to the Lord! He's in charge of this work and this church, and the blessings He promises for obedience are amazing and really are fulfilled!

Love,
Elder Damon Janis

P.S. My companion has latched on to the idea that I'm a Jew, it's kinda fun. :) We meet lots of my kinsmen in Aspen, so far I haven't converted any though. :)
