HOLA!!!!

Happy Monday everyone, and happy 5 month mark to me!! Seriously every month that goes by I feel like passes so quickly! I know I say that every five seconds, but I really can´t believe how fast the mission is going. Before I know it I will be skyping with you all on Christmas!!

This week started off a little rough but ended off AMAZING!! So Monday was P-day and we had a waterballoon fight with the zone. We celebrated Mom´s birthday with icecream brought by Hermana Jeny (she´s like the mom of the missionaries and I just love her). We then went to pick up Nayeli, and Cesar for a noche de hogar with a family in our ward. There we found their step dad and were able to talk with him, but he works all day every day so we won´t be able to have another lesson with him..Then we left for the home of the members, there we talked about the faith and all went super great! 

Tuesday we had our usual district meeting which are always super fun.. haha no but really I always learn a lot from our leaders. We then had a lesson with a less active member Olger. We are really trying to focus on reactivating those members who aren´t currently going to church so they can remember the testimonies they once had. I´m not worried about baptisms, what I´m worried about is helping people make covenants with their Heavenly Father and be able to remain active in the church so they can return to live with their families in the Eternity.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.. Saturday, Sunday: Sorry I´m going to mesh these days together a little because not a whole lot happened, but I´ll do my best to explain what I can. We had quite a few lessons with Nayeli and Cesar to help them prepare for their baptism. We were able to teach Edgar this week as well so that was good. He went to the baptism and to church on Sunday, but is really struggling to accept a baptismal date. He always says that he wants more time, but I think the last lesson that we had we were able to reach his heart a little bit more. He is going to read the Book of Mormon and pray.. really pray to know. I´m just hoping he follows through with it, because he really is a great guy! Like I said we´ve been working a lot with less active members and we are hoping that through them we can find members of their family who aren´t members of the church so that we can teach them. 

Saturday.. BAPTISM of Nayeli and Cesar. A part from the fact that we had to wait an hour to get the baptismal clothing everything went smoothly and we were able to see two wonderful kids enter into the waters of baptism. They were nervous, the water was cold, but they were so happy and you could just see the light in their eyes after they came out of the water.

Sorry that this email wasn´t quite as good as the last, I was working on a little project that I had to do.. But I hope you all know that just because I don´t write a whole ton every week doesn´t mean that I don´t love you all tons! Have a great week everyone!!!
