Well, it’s been another week. The time is literally going by so fast
and I love it but hate it at the same time. The mission really does go
by fast and you have to enjoy every moment. And you have to push
through the times you don’t feel like working because you’ll regret it
in the end if you don’t work your hardest. So, for anyone on a misión
or thinking about going or about to go, just work hard. Don’t waste
time. You’ll be so proud of yourself at the end too 😁

So this week was good! We still have people that are close to baptism
(I say that because I’ve been in a number of cases where they back out
or just drop off the face of the earth). Teresa Moreno will for sure
be baptized on the 14 of June. Some ex misioneros are going to come
for her baptism (I served with them for a long time). They already got
the plane tickets and so it’s basically a locked in deal. We always
have very good lessons with her. And yesterday she came to church and
honestly we didn’t know she was there until the second hour 😂 we got
there 15 minutes early like we should have and looked around for her
and other investigators before sacrament meeting started and we didn’t
see her. And then the second hour before we walked into class, we saw
her walking out the the chapel and we were like what the heck we
didn’t even see you!! We were so happy that she was there.

we also had an investigator go who we did not think was going to go!!
We have been working with him for a while and he just didn’t seem to
want to promise us that he was going to go to church. Well, in the
morning we reminded him about church and he showed up!!! He showed up
a little late and so we were surprised when we saw him walk into the
chapel. He stayed for all three hours and he liked it. And then after
church we had a lesson with him and he said the closing prayer. And
his prayer was awesome and I know God was so happy to hear it 😂 in
part of it he was like, “God.. I don’t know what happened.. but I went
to church today. And i liked it!” He told us that in the morning
before church he was in McDonalds and then decided to go to church 😂
so he broke the sabbath day, but God got to him just in time. I was so
happy when he came like you have no idea!!!

We are really seeing some success with the people we’re teaching, but
having a hard time finding new people. We are working hard with
members to give us referrals and have lessons with their friends, and
that has worked out a bit. We have come across a lot of people, but
they are all rejecting us!! But hey, we are doing are part. And that’s
what I should base my success on. Doing what the lord asks, my
attitude, and determination to share the gospel. 😁😁

Well that was my week. I’m exhausted and happy. Hope you all have a great week
love you
