Happy Monday! (I think I say that every pday..oops, my only excuse is that it really is a happy day for me to be able to write all of you!)

This week started out a little slow but then got better and better. We couldn´t find a place to do internet this morning so I´m not going to have a whole lot of time to write, but I will try to do my best. We were able to visit Sergio multiple times this week and when he found out that we wouldn´t always be the missionaries in the ward he got pretty sad, but he said I will never forget you because you were the first and you were the ones who taught me. Super cute! He is really excited to prepare to receive the priesthood so we are working with him on that. 

On Monday we were able to talk to Rosmery, Henry´s wife and things went pretty good, but I think if she is ever going to want to be baptized she will need a really good friend in the church. We also talked to Alejandra again and she´s been strugglin a lot. She isn´t praying or reading and we´re having a hard time helping her with it, if she doesn´t put in her part there isn´t very much we can do.. 

Tuesday was a really slow day we weren´t able to find many people to teach, but we did have a lesson with Alonso. We taught him about Tithing and fasting which are always interesting lessons, but I love the testifying part because I have a such a strong testimony that if we pay tithing we will never lack anything that we need. As well as fasting, if we fast with a certain purpose the Lord will help us accomplish what we need or give us the answer that we need.

Wednesday was the real Pday, we had a little barbeque and then after played soccer. I fell pretty hard because my shoes didn´t have good traction and my back hurt for a couple of days, but I´m getting better. Then after we moved to our new house with water all day, never thought I would be thankful for something as simple as running water. Then that night one brother in the offices that helps with stuff came to put in our shower, it lasted until 8:45 so we didn´t have the opportunity to leave the house and teach lessons, bummer!

Thursday was another slow day, we were only able to talk to 2 less active members and we felt pretty down at the end of the day, but we decided that Friday was going to be a better day and that we were going to do everything possible to have lessons. We also had two interviews.. well we were supposed to, Alonso didn´t show up for his baptismal interview which meant he couldn´t be baptized unless we did it on Friday (thank goodness all went well with that). Flora, one sister who has been coming to church for almost 4 years and paying her tithing faithfully, is finally going to be baptized. There were a lot of problems because her husband didn´t want to get married, but she now is separated from him and can be baptized!! We were all crying of pure joy!

Friday and Saturday were days FULL of lessons which left my companion and I feeling really good! We were able to talk to Jonathan who is one of our newer investigators who is 14, but we are planning his baptism for this month, we´re praying that everything turns out well with him. 

Sunday as well was a great day and we were able to get a lot accomplished. We were able to have a lesson with a sweet lady Gladys who I think is going to progress rapidly. We are also receiving a lot of help from the members, they are coming with us for lessons which honestly helps a lot! They can bear testimony and befriend our investigators as well as the less active members. 

Whelp out of time, yet again, but just want to let you know how much I appreciate you all. This last week I received a lot of letters from ward members which left me just feeling AWESOME! Keep ´em coming por favor!! Hope you all have a great week!!
