It is heating up in New Jersey!
Querida familia,
How are you all doing? Thank you mom for helping out our investigator!
She called and told me you were very nice and she was so grateful for your help with the immigration question. Yes, I will need two short sleeve white shirts. Thank you so much! Last week was a all time high on lessons with 17. Yesterday we taught Clotilde and Ricardo about prayer and the Book of Mormon. They have a strong testimony on prayer but feel like nothing can be added to the bible. We will be working with them on that. They are a great couple! We then taught Raul about the doctrine of Christ and he received it well. He has some questions on baptism which we are going to address next visit. Raul's friend was also there and is interested to learn more about the church. He is very knowledgeable in the bible and has a strong belief in Christ. He is from Honduras and we set an appointment with him next week. We then taught Giovanni and Yecenia about the Book of Mormon. We were going to go through the restoration but they wanted to read the testimonies of the three witnesses and of Joseph Smith's. As we read it they started to get interested and when we ended they were curious to read the book. The spirit was so strong and were amazed by Joseph Smith's story. I felt that it was one of our better lessons as a companionship. Last Saturday we taught our most progressing investigator the restoration and invited her for baptism for June 29th. She accepted! She is so ready and are very excited for her. The other day we were walking to an appointment and ran into this English speaking lady. She said that she has been looking for a church to fill something she feels is missing in her life. As we told her about the Book of Mormon and the worship services she got interested and wanted to come to church and have the English speaking missionaries come teach her. She said that God must have made us cross paths because she said she never walks this street. We probably would not have contacted her because she was English speaking, but I am glad Elder King did. Yesterday we only had four less actives come, but have many that are committed to come next Sunday. This was our first Sunday at the Scotch Plains church which will be a little bit further for our member, but still got a good turn out yesterday. It has been a great week and I am learning so much every day. I have a strong testimony of fasting. I felt that our four lessons went very smoothly and we invited the spirit. I love you all so much!!
Love, Elder Plummer

Thank you for that article! We actually have been trying to get 11 contacts a day! And have seen a difference in our teaching pool. Tell Kris and Katherine congratulations! I am happy for them! I am so happy mom you liked my card! I love you very much! Yes! I would love to have the chocolate protein powder. This last week we have been visiting our new investigators from our new area that we just received. We have three investigator that could possibly be baptized this month! We have Effrian who has a testimony of the church and wants to be baptized. He is unfortunately living with his girlfriend and have two kids together. He is figuring that out with some senior couples. We also have Raquel who is from Costa Rica and never have met anybody with so much of the truth. She told us of an spiritual experience where she wanted to kill herself when she was 15. She then said that she felt and heard a voice saying that God loved her. She said that since that time she has devoted herself to God by reading the Bible everyday. When we explained that we pray to God in the name of Christ she said that made sense to her. She also came to church last Sunday and is committed to keep coming. The moment we gave the Book of Mormon to her she started reading it and said that she feels good about it. We committed her to pray about it tonight! We also have Stanley from the Dominican Republic who is in the new area we recently received from the last Elders. He has a strong testimony and wants to be baptized but works at a hotel every Sunday. We are working with him to get Sundays off. Last Sunday was the last day in our building. Because the building is considered unsafe they are moving us from Plainfield to the Scotch Plains chapel. It will be harder for less actives and investigators that live in our area to get to church so we are figuring out carpools to get there. We had the same six less actives attend church last Sunday. We are so proud of them. Grateful to be a missionary. It is hard. But worth it. I love you all so very much!
Love, Elder Plummer
