Alright, so here are some pics we took last week in some of the activities we did.. so we did an activity in the park on friday that went really well.. we gave out free lemonade and shined shoes for free too.. it was fun and i think i shined about 15 guys shoes.. we had a good turnout too.. we us the six missionaries here and then the help of three members.. we talked or had 181 people here our message and we gave out a ton of books of mormon, magazines, and pamphlets.. it was really a lot of fun and good to get our message out there.. and we have a lot of peoples addresses who want us to visit them and share our message with them or give them a book of mormon or watch one of the church movies with them.. this week hopefully we will be able to find a lot of new investigators from the activity.. 
Dear family,
also last tues was mothers day here in central america.. we had an activity in the church and we said a mothers day song.. madre te amo.. it went well and we had some investigators go.. it was fun and ive gotten to sing a lot in front of people here in the mission even though my voice is the best.. haha also the zone leaders this week decided that we needed to have 300 contacts or people talked to.. that was crazy and dumb cause it didnt work.. on weds night they called and told us that we didnt need to do that.. working for numbers doesnt work and i am glad they realized that.. we still had 201 contacts though with our activity in the park though.. it did help me realize though that i can open my mouth though more and really talk with everybody even in the buses and in the stores and on the street.. also this last week might have been the most tiring of all my mission.. after playing dodgeball last monday i started out the week tired then with getting things organized with the activities and trying to talk to everybody we could we were exhausted sat and yesterday.. today was pretty chill though so we have rested up a little and we are ready to work hard again this week.. we also have zone conference and interviews this week so thatll be fun and a nice rest to have.. also its the last time with pres and hermana torres. thats crazy that they are going home and that we will have new leaders.. also its been super hot here recently!!
i dont like it and am ready for the rainy season.. we contacted a guy the other day and i offered to help him chop wood.. then he said no but let us in to share a message with him.. as soon as we got in he asked us who joseph smith was.. he asked us a ton of retarded questions like why doesnt josephs name appear in the bible and who was moroni and a bunch of other dumb stuff.. we tried to help him out and we shared a ton of scriptures from the bible and answered all his questions.. to make a long story short all he wanted to do was contend with us.. in the end he told us we are cheating-lying to people with the bom he told us to get away from it and study the bible when we knew it better then him.. he told us to repent in the command form in spanish.. lets just say it was really special and i wanted to wipe my feet off on his door step.. he was a retard but it really was cool cause at the end we just shared our testimonies and said we would never deny what we knew about joseph smith and the bom and he was just mad and yeah a retard.. i would share more about that but there are more important things and it wasnt the most uplifting experience.. here are some other pics too.. i dont have time to expain them all but yeah if yall have questions ask me them and ill let yall know.. we put a baptismal date with rogel.. the guy who is reading the bom and came to our movie night.. he is cool and wants to change.. its not until the end of next month but we need to marry him and find his papers which could be a challenge but its not impossible.. also we had a lesson with mayra yesterday and she and her kids understood the restauration pretty well.. it was cool and i know the spirit helped them understand.. they understood how christ organized his church originally and how joseph smith restored it.. it was cool and they are going to go to church again with us.. we are going to have to drop some investigators though cause if they dont want to do their part and make changes we cant force them and maybe later on theyll do it.. anyway also we did smores in the house last week in the night it was fun.. and i have a pic of that too.. anyway i dont have time left but i love yall a ton and take care.. write me back if yall have time cause i love hearing from yall! have a great week! and pray for me and my comp and my investigators like yall always do cause God really does hear them and answers prayers!!

then on sat night we did a movie night in the church.. we had 2 of our investigators come and two less active families that we have been working with.. also some of the others in the district had investigators.. we watched the joseph smith movie and gave out popcorn and free drinks.. it was a lot of fun and hope yall like the pics we took.. our investigators like the movie a lot and the husband is reading the book of mormon and enjoying it.. the only problem we had though with the movie is that at the same time a bunch of businesses showed a free movie in the park on a giant screen and for free.. i am pretty sure we had members go there instead of to our movie and also some investigators.. that was frustrating but it just goes to show that satan is working really hard to keep people from finding the truth.. we had fun though and had success with both activities.. i am going to send more pics now and tell yall more in another letter.
