September 26th

Wow.. what a week!! We have a lot of new investigators this week, lots of changes too, what to start with... Ahh!! Still working like negritas to get people to accept baptism dates.

Ok Braulio, we taught him once this week, he is not going to church right now but we are helping him with his doubts and he is going to read the BOM, we taught the apostasy and he asked, why is it called la gran apostasia (gran= great or large), when was the medium apostasy or the little apostasy, haha, funny, it was just a long time, so he is complicating things a bit by thinking of things like that.

Viviana, do you remember her, we finally found her last night and she is going thru a lot of problems, but is reading the BOM and cutting down on smoking!! So with time I really think she will be baptized.

Wemet an AMERICAN girl the other day, in the street, she was talking english, and said to her friend, ¨hey those are the sisters from my church¨so we talked to her and told her she has to come back to church, it was way weird to speak in english.

BUT THEN. Sunday, Irma mother of Irma with her little boy, she brought some friends to church that are from SWEDEN, she used to work there and some friends came to visit, Daniel and Lars, father and son, they seem like typical swedish people, or what i think would be typical, we taught them during church the restoration and Daniel told us he is looking for the truth. so we are going to keep teaching them! it was sooo weird to teach in english. i like spanish better when it comes to teaching the gospel.

We also have a few investigators that are Brazilians. One we understand but the other we have no clue. Dad, send me portuguese lessons please!! We were able to get a few Book of mormons in portuguese though. Maybe i´ll read one too!

That and our Chinese investigator came to church...l it was out of the blue since we visit her like, once every 3 weeks or so, haha,
So with all these languages going on i´m one confused missionary!

Haha but things are great, working hard to get people to get baptized, I can´t remember if i told you about Zahera (Saera is how you pronounce it) but she is coming back into town after 2 weeks and also the couple Fernando and Dabeiba are planning on getting married. WE´RE GONNA HAVE A WEDDING!!! The sad thing is that they didn´t go to church yesterday and they were supposed to bring their documents to start the process, but hopefully with time.

We met a member whose nickname since he was little is Nephi, but now he is inactive, we got him to go to church yesterday and he brought his little boy to have him blessed, it was really special, so hopefully we can work with him more! We have another family too of members, the familia Estrada, who have gone 2 sundays to church and the Dad is going to recieve his patriarchal blessing and
the melquesidec priesthood.

Also anotehr family of investigators the familia Santivañez went to church yesterday, for the 1st time! Considering they have been investigators for about 6 months we were really excited.. finally!

Mom, your talk sounds great, i can´t believe you used so much stuff that i´ve told you! That´s quite the compliment!! thanks.wish i could have heard it!

We had interviews this week with president. went well! he says to me, you almost have 1 year on the mission! Nooooo!!! I don´t want to leave!! I love it, and am trying to preach the gospel to everyone, even if they don´t speak my language or live in my area. it doesn´t matter, ever effort makes a difference and smoeday the gospel will fill all the land. But until then...!!!

Sounds like fun all these activities you have going on!! Glad to hear that Pres Crosbie is improving!

Oh wow.. Taco bell.. way to make a sister trunky.! that sounds way good.
I love you all. have a great week, keep up the good work, brothers be good! study hard and dont skip seminary, do all your homework too! sorry there are no photos again, this computer is kind of crappy.
