hope yall had a good week.. we did.. here is the list of what we did.. and here are some pics.. if i forget to explain one ask me what we were doing... ok... alright so last monday night we did two fhes.. it was a lot of fun and ive really seen the importance of doing fhes here on the mission.. ive seen that the families that do it are doing well as a family and have less problems then others and really have more peace and happiness in their homes and lives.. i have a lot of good ideas that ill have to share with yall when im home and have the chace.. we did the painting face thing again last week twice.. and the families love that game and grow in their confidence in us after playing it.. tuesday we had 7 lessons.. it was awesome and everything went as planned.. i know its not the number that matters but it was good day and we felt like we really did everything we could of that day.. that night we watched the 20 min restauration video with haroldo and andrea.. they liked it a lot.. the spirit was strong and i shared my testimony and so did my comp and it was awesome.. i wish yall could of been their.. they understand the importance of reading and going to church but they just wont do it!!! its super frustrating and if they dont start progressing soon we are going to drop them for a while.. cause we can force anybody to do anything.. our lesson total last week was 28.. it was awesome teaching so much and i havent done that since i was in the capital.. our area really is changing and we are seeing more results and better ones.. on weds we spent 2 hours helping sisters loook for a new house cause they one they have right now has mold in it.. haha oh what a blessing to have 9 hermanas.. sisters.. in the zone.. something cool though was i gave one a blessing today that was realy sick and throwing up.. and fifteeen minutes later she was good and able to eat thanksgiving dinner with us.. the priesthood we hold is so powerful when we use it right and have faith.. we really can see Gods hand and miracles in our lives.. the fam villalobos is doing good but still werent able to go to church this week.. all three of them were sick.. so that was crappy but keep playing for them please.. they have the desire and want to progress and go to church and know for themselves if our church is true.. we had a lesson with the bishop and he shared his testimony and it was another really powerful lesson.. we hope they are in church next week.. they asked us about baptism along with antoher new family we found.. that was really cool.. we found 7 news last week who were really recieving but the 2nd time not so much.. i hate how people are nice but after get crap fed to them about us and the church then dont recieve us.. i kind of gave cincho to a lady in other words.. haha scolded her for not recieving us.. its ridiculous and i love being direct with people now and just telling people how it is whether it nice or not or whether they like it or not.. im here calling peole unto repentance... not just being buddy buddy with them.. hey i hit 21 months last week!! it was cool.. and a guy gave us a free meal at pollow campero.. a chicken place.. it was good then that night we ate at the rodeo a super american restaurant.. i ate a slice of cake.. tres leches.. it was good.. we are still doing divisions with the zone and its been really fun getting to better know the missionaries and there areas and investigators.. i really know everyone well know after be here in this same zone for almost 10 months since feb 2nd.. im going to finish this email on another one..
so yeah.. church once again was dissapointing.. we only had one investigator their.. that was not good but this week that is going to be our focus.. we are doing a special fast and id like yall to pray for us and the people ive mentioned in this email along with fam tercero and fam rodriguez... we found also last night a family that other elders will teach.. they are not going to any church and the lady when she was a child went to church and she said she knows its true.. i asked they dad how important his family is to him and he said everything and went on to explain how they are looking for a church.. it was awesome and once again the spirit was super strong when i testified on how families can be together forever and have more peace and joy in this life through Christ and His gospel.. the also in that appointment a girl almost gave me one of those foreign cheek kisses.. but i said no and move away.. haha it was funny but scary at the same time.. i probably got red after.. so yeah things are going good and the bishopric is supporting us a lot now and so are the young men that are starting to leave with us a lot..so yeah things are going really good and im definitey working hard and staying focused.. everything though is decorated in christmas stuff though and we ate thankgiving lunch as a zone today and then said what we were thankful for.. it was really good.. anyway i love yall a ton and yall are always in my prayers.. hope yall have a great week with school and work and with church assignments.. i love yall and am so grateful for yall and to be a member of Christs church.. He lives and loves us.. take care and follow His example everyday and do what He did and would do if He were in yalls shoes.. take care!!!
