After that we did divisions with members, i stayed with our mission leader, I went back to our colony and my comp stayed in paraiso! We had a good day, and visited baptism dates that we have in te colony to help them progress! Wednesday was kinda lame, we had a zone conference in the morning but they are in apopa which is far away.. so we had to wake up early to be there at 8am and then the meeting was lie 3 hours and then we ate lunch at pizza hut!! that was good haha! but it took a long time and we didn't get back to our area until about 3. WE learned a lot about the first lesson that we have with people and how we can find their needs and make good impressions! It was a good meeting i learned a lot! When we got back to the are a we did divisions again, and had some good visits in the colony with the usual people! We had the interview with hermana Yolanda, but she didnt pass.. problems that she has with her partner.. We are sad and she is bummed. but we are going to help her get to baptism! she really wants it! Thursday was a good day, short but good! We did service in the morning in los amates and it was really good! we helped them clean up the community! We didnt get back to our house until like 1 thought! then we had to shower and get ready and go to chalate to start interchanges, but we hadnt eaten so we ate in chalate when we got there. We ate good food, but it took a while haha! We started the divisions and i went back to my area with our district leader! We worked in reubicacion 2 and 3 and found some new people and had some good visits! then we returned to the colony and went to teach with the resident of the branch. Had good lessons and then a good dinner at his house! Friday, was a good day also!!

Saturday was another day of interchanges! this time i was with the comp of our district leader and he came to my area! it was a relaxed day and we did some good work but nothing crazy!

Este semana ha sido bien especial para mi! Yo he aprendido cosas que voy a recordar toda mi vida! Este semana quiero compartir mi testimonio a cerca de los atributos de cristo! Este es la tema que yo he estudiado mucho este semana y he aprendido cosas bien importantes! Yo se y testifico que tenemos un ejemplo perfecto que nos dejo todos las cosas que necesitamos hacer en este vida para encontrar la felicidad perfecto! para tener una vida mejor y ser mejores personas! Para regresar a vivir con la personas que nos dieron todo después de este vida! Para desarrollar atributos de cristo es algo difícil, pero si se puede va a cambiar su vida en maneras increíbles! Yo se que Dios nos ha dado desafíos, y cosas que faltamos, pero por medio de la expiación de Jesucristo y su ejemplo podemos fortalecernos en cada aspecto ! Gracias por leer y espero que todas tengan una semana buenísimo!

Hey everyone!!! this week has been wild!! Monday was a normal pday with good relax time and yummy food! haha Tuesday we had good day working with a member from another area who wanted to visit some of his family members in our area! good people but idk how positive they will be! After that we went back to the colony and had some lessons with the people that we always teach there haha! pretty basic week to start off but gets better!! Wednesday we had a district meeting and it was in our are so that was nice! then after we had to stay in the house while the zone leaders went to talk to a member in our are for reasons that were really silly and completely misunderstood.. she was calling us a lot and never said anything and idk what happened really but we had to tell the leaders cause we didn't have the number as a contact in out phone.. All went well tho.. no problems just confusion! Then we went out contact a little in reubicacion 2 becaus3e we didn't have enough time to go to the place we had planned after all that! It was good but really hard to find people in the colony there! then we came back and had some lessons with investigators near out house and finished the day with pupusas! i ate 6 haha! Thursday was super cool!! We had the mission temple activity like we had when i started my mission! it was really great! We had 7 investigators there and 5 or 6 less actives! And lots of members! i was a group guide through all the rooms where the missionaries are all dressed up and teaching a little! now for the crazy part.. so my companion got a call the night before that he had emergency changes and so at the temple we had the companion swap! but my new companion didn't come until the last group and i was in the first group so i spent all day there without a companion hanging out with all sorts of different people haha! waiting! then the comp they said i was going to receive got changed so i received a different person haha! i had no info all day so it was really confusing but im happy!! i am now with elder azpilcueta from Mexico! he lives like on the border of Texas haha! he speaks some English too!! Really Really Really good missionary! like pretty sure hes one of the best in the mission! he turned down president when he was asked to be assistant lol! I am learning a lot from him !! We don't not walk up to a house without entering! this week in the three days that i was with him we found 29 news!!! Its been wild! Friday was the first day of work with his and we wet to Santa Rita and found tons of people! he is so good at talking with the people until they let us in haha! i love it! such a nice person and everyone loves him! Saturday we spent mostly inviting people to church and in the night we did divisions with members and i had a really good lesson with our investigator that should get baptized soon!! hopefully this week! She said she felt calm and peace when she said the last prayer and we invited her to ask about what we had been teaching then we read in Galatians 5 where it explains the fruits of the spirit! she cried! it was really spiritual! Then a normal Sunday! 

Thanks for reading!! 

Este semana ha sido super bien!! Todo ha sido un buen experiencia con los cambios de mi compañero! Pero este semana porque fuimos al temple yo quiero compartir mi testimonio a cerca de el! yo se y testifico que realmente el templo es la casa de Dios aquí en este tierra! que realmente de entro de este temple las familias son sellados para la eternidad! Yo se con todo mi corazón que el señor esta allá y que el esta bendiciendo las familias por medio de este casa en la tierra! Yo se porque cuando yo estoy allá yo lo puedo sentir!! Y puedo sentir bien fuerte el espíritu santo testificando de las cosas que estoy enseñando como misionero y yo estoy bien agradecido por estar aquí! Por el templo y por todos los bendiciones que podemos recibir allá! Yo espero que todos pueden ir y sentir lo mismo! Y recibir todas las cosas que Dios tiene preparada para nosotros si vayamos a el templo! Gracias por leer y espero que todos tienen una semana fantástico!!

Week #26
8/1/16

Hey everyone!! 

This week has been really good! Very basic but really good! We are happy and working hard and that's what counts!! Monday we taught a lesson with Bryan and Alan and it was pretty tough! they told us that they probably weren't gonna go to church anymore and that there parents said they can not be baptized or meet with us anymore, then they expressed some doubts that they had and we did our best to help them. But it was a biter sweet experience for me! in that moment i was sad that we lost a few good people to teach but i was really happy inside! i realized in that moment how much i love the people here and how much i want them all to accept the gospel! I felt so sad when they said that but only because they loved the church and stuff but cant progress for their parents. But i realized how much i care for them and the people that we teach! Always nice when you remember why your out here in the mission! its easy sometimes to be stressed and upset because the work is really hard but things like that help ya get along! I know with the lords help someday they will be able to be baptized and their parents will soften their hearts! We also had a great lesson with the family of the other two kids were teaching! Giovano and Johnathon! the whole family are now progressing investigators!! The dad completely changes his attitude once we started to talk with him and teach him some of the things that we have taught his kids! They accepted a date for their kids to be baptized, its kinda far away but they felt they needed more time! Tuesday we went to an area call Los Amates, which is really far haha luckily we got a bus but we had a good lesson with a less active family and they came to church! They are also thinking of coming to the temple this Thursday for an activity that the mission is having! All day we worked with a member too! Wednesday we had a district meeting and then had some good lessons in the colony but was a very basic day! Thursday was good too, I passed 6 months in the mission and its kinda cool and crazy! We went to concepcion and found some new people who are really nice, we helped the lady carry a few things from the bus to her house so they invited us in to teach them! Good people and hopefully they will progress! Friday and Saturday were normal days with nothing too crazy but good days of hard work!!
