Oct 20th

Well this week went by fast! hahah.

Lunes 

so we walked around for a little bit and we got to teach felipe whe still cant stop drinking. haha im never touching drugs or alcohol just becuase of what i have seen it do to him and his life. haha it sucks. and then we had a family home evening with the fam bernal and we watched the testaments and it was super fun i almost fell asleep but yes it was good! haha.

Tueday.

so we went and helped elias (papa) clean out all the weeds in thier yard and we saw the most poisonous spider crawling around in thier yard haha. it is basically a black widow. haha and then we found another new investigator whos name is juan and we talked to him and he told us how his wife had just died a coulple of months ago and so we were able to enter into his house and teach him a little but it was kinda wierd becuase he kinda just interupted us and expected us to leave hah os we said a prayer and then set another time to come back and then we had a lesson with agusto. his friend had told him a lot of false stuff about the church ans so we had a lesson to just answer all his questions . haha his friend told him that if you want to get baptized you have to be baptized naked. haha ive never heard a dumber thing in my whole life but oh well haha. after the lesson he was fine and we answered all his questions.

Wednesday.

 we had interviews with presidente Kähnlein and it was super good. haha man does it feel good to just talk to someone face to face who is here to help. ( you guys are normal and i love talking to you!!! but its slightly limited the contact we have haha) it helped a ton and gave me a lot of self confidence which i feel like i have been lacking these last couple weeks. and he told me that he trusts me completely and supports me 100% in what im doing, said i was one of his best zone leaders in the mission and that he was very happy with how im progressing.  for me, those were some huge compliments from him and helped a lot with what i needed.  and then we taught jose and we finally figured out that he is agnostic and so that is why he hasnt prayed but he said that he was going to pray and ask if God exists. and then we  taught felipe again and read the book of mormon with him and then prepared the church for the zone conference that we had the next day.

Thursday. 

we had zone conference and it was super fun and there was a moment when ifelt liek all at once all the faith that we had a zone grew at like the same time. haha it was a different feeling but it was cool and i swear im not going  crazy haha!  and then we walked around that day and we also got to teach Eldia and Elias about the Plan of Salvation.

Friday.

we had interchanges. haha you guys are going to die. hahha so i was with an elder Caden Wilcox from good ole Lehi. he live 5 min from Cabelas just down the hill and the craziest thing is that his grandparents live in syracuse haha infront of the steeds house on Bluff. haha the little white house that has the tractor is thiers haha it was so wierd finding htat out haha. and he is way new to the mission to so that was just fun to see how new missionaries are. haha.nuevitos. and we found a new investigator who is MARRIED!!! and we are going to teach his whole fam this thursday.

sabado.

so we taught a less active member and we jsut read the book of mormon with him and helped him learn more about baptism and then we were able to teach Juan again and he opened up quite a bit to us and actually cried and we told him that he can live with his wife again if he will read the book of mormon and pray to know that it is true. and he then said that he was going to come to church. and then we went to a lesson with the fam bernal and we ate completos for Conys and Alexs  birthday party and the we shared a lesson with them and also thier neighbors so we are hoping to start teaching them.

Domingo.

we went to church but nobody else did! haha! none of our investigators came to church so we are in the hunt to find some good  investigators who will come to church and get bpatized! but we had a good day and we talked to some people and then we taught a less active family! 

This week went by fast!

love you all and thank you for your prayers!
