Little Mexico


So I thought there were lots of hispanics in Smyrna, Well I found little mexico the area im in "chamblee" is probably 98% hispano. Everyone says its the "best area"  I've enjoyed it so far!!
We have two super legit Investigators! M is the mother of 3 and has had a horrible life, not going into detail but lets jsut say i don't know ANYONE else who has had to deal with the things she has. We teach her at a recent convert (less actives) house so its helping everyone, the RC/LA family is getting strengthened and our investigator has friends to support them, they live in the same complex so it works out great. She came to church yesterday and we met with her last night, she now has a baptismal date for the 15th of october, very excited for her she needs the gospel to heal her wounds and to bring blessings into her life.
C is 17, he just moved here from kentucky, he was almost baptized there, but not sure what happened he started holding study groups in the park with all his friends and the missionaries he said alot of his friends got baptized over there before he did haha. He said in our last lesson he would be baptized....the only problem is, he is 17 and his mom has jus been anti-ed like crazy and now she literally runs away when she see's us, C is legit though he told his mom that she is being dumb and needs to not listen to her friends and that she needs to find things out on her own, so hopfully that will sink in sometime.
There are some really cool members here.
Elder Montiel is super chill and we have been having a blast! Its super col having a native speaker! What even cooler is he is from california so he's not weird haha.
He is like 5'6'' but he played volleyball in high school, last sport i would have guessed!
Its been super great! I've had a blast this week and next week looks even better, I'll get to go back to smyrna for 2 or 3 wekends in a row, We were asked by the branch there to come to day of nations and peform a song with the other elders there and then J and E are getting Married then baptized the next weekend(family i spent alot of tiem with super awesome) and then elizabeth is getting baptized the week after that, So October will be a busy month!!
