Yo.

So basically we went by Merissa the other night and she is unsure about the whole baptism coming up again. It was seriously breaking my heart. I didn't know what to do. I feel like in life when ever something good is going to happen Satan always has to try to tear it down first. Merissa didn't come to church so were not sure where she is at. She didn't even answer her phone when we called. So hopefully we can go over and see whaguan wit her! 

On the bright side though we have been working our tails off to still see success. We have been teaching this rasta man named Mark. He is so cool. He builds houses. So we contacted him one day and we have been teaching him a lot. He is so awesome and humble and keeping commitments!! 

He has gone from smoking 30 joints a day to now only about 2 a day! He is progressing fast. He have been over twice to help build the house with him. And he is teaching me some great things about construction. Also he came to church and loved it. While at church a prompting of the holy ghost came and confirmed to me that he is in the right place and that he fits in well with this branch! He loved it and said he would come back next week as well so overall that was so awesome!! 

Also we have just been prepping for this week. Because Elder Gonzales is coming to visit our mission he is a member of the 70. We are excited to here what he has to teach us on how we can be more effective instruments in this work. 

I feel like this week my testimony was strengthened in the little things. As we would smile to people on the street or help a old lady walk across the road. Or bear our witness that the Book of Mormon is true to someone who seems lost in the world. It is a wonderful experience to be on the lords errand. And brings so so much joy. 

Love Elder Dixon
