Monday: well i finnally had time to
write the fam sanchez so hopefully i will be able to get them to them soon! and
we also put a baptism date with our investigator Raul. haha he is a very humble
guy and doesnt know how to read and its pretty hard for him to understand but
he wants to get baptized so its super sweet! he eats lunch and spends the
day and one of the members house and so we can teach him every single day! haha
its way cool to see him grow! and we also found a new famiy to teach. the
parents of the mom were all baptized but she never did and so we are teaching
her and her husband and they are super nice and beilieve in God a lot! haha

they are believers!!
tuesday:
so we prepared for the zone
meeting and set everything up i the mornign and the we had Presidente Kähnlein
come and look at an apartment with us that is way close that we are probably
going to move to pretty soon! then we were able to teach Eduardo. haha well
that was the first lesson where i have been quite direct with someone about the
gospel. but the spirit was super strong. we had to kind of lay out the stuff on
the table and tell it to him straight becasue he had some wierd beliefs but we
just let it go because he said he wanted to get baptized but now he is clinging
on to those things and it impiding him from getting baptized. but the spirit
was super strong and he said he was going to get down on his knees and pray to
be able to pay his tithing. WITH FAITH NO MAS!!!
