well another week down, but this one was better, because there wasnt any sickness!! haha. but sadly we didnt get a baptism... our goal of seven seems pretty far out now considering we only have two, and this is the last week in the change. but we do have at least 3 baptisms planned for this weekend. hopefully the Lord will bless us with the chosen people that we can baptize. also there is a girl whose family are members, but she wasnt baptized and wants to be, but the only problem is that she is 45 mins drive away from our main area....
can you believe that i am already on week six of the field? after this week i am 1/8th over with my mission. haha. but im not counting down or anything.
ALL FATHERS OUT THERE. im very sorry that i missed fathers day yesterday, but i have good news. Today is Día de los Padres. so happy día de los padres instead! haha. i love you all fathers. especially my dad, who i miss very much.
congratulations john and arica on a beautiful new baby! im so excited for you. and i am sorry to hear about grandma. its good to hear that everything is going good, i hope that the recovery will be very speedy and not very painful.
well this week has been kind of crazy. we have had so many appointments, that we havent had any real time to contact any one new, or referrals..... but this week we are changing our plans, and focusing big time on really seeking out the escogidos. elder snyder and i had a very progressive talk last night, and we are going to change a lot of our ways of teaching, and only try to focus on the escogidos, and not as much on the others, who God hasnt prepared as much to hear the gospel. we have been working a lot with the bishop this week, and because of that, we have realized so much more how great of a man he is, and all that he does for his family, and the ward.
we have the coolest investigator i have ever seen right now. his name is trinidad, and his wife is dulce. they have one kid who is like 6 months. they are down visiting family right now, and we happened to be able to teach them, the family they are visiting is a less active family. so we got a double hitter on this one. but he is so involved in everything we do. if we tell him to read a chapter, he prays before, studdies it, and prays after. when we ask for a recap, he practically gives it verse for verse! it is incredible. his wife isnt as good, but she still is in the lessons, goes to church, and reads a little. im just so mad that he isnt in our area, and cant stay in our ward. he lives in Sinaloa, im not sure if it is a state, or just a city. but i have a very good feeling that in a year, i will be able to go to the temple with him and dulce to be sealed!!! i know that he will strive for that. they are only here for like 3 and a half weeks, so just long enough for us to baptize and confirm them, then they are headed back....
im sorry that i dont have a ton of time again, i just cant realize how little time we actually have even on pdays.... thanks for keeping me updated, everyone. i love to get your letters and just know whats going on in everyones life. thank you all so much, not only for your letters but also for your example. both before the mission and still now. stay strong in your families. being here only six weeks, i am seeing how incredibly hard satanás is working to ruin families. please stay strong, and listen to the guidance and council of your parents. if parents are readiing this, show it to your kids. obedience is key, whether on the mission or not. i love you all, and pray for your good health, and success in life and callings. may the Lord watch over you all in all things.
