Hey Familia,

 

This week has been good and tough! lol both of these. so we have been teaching a lot of people. we were able to teach a part member family who was starting to go a little bit in active in the church. it had been like a month since any of them had come to church and they weren't reading the scriptures. and it had been like 6 months since they had all come to church as a family. so we went to visit them. we had an idea to review the Restoration with them. and so that is what we did. we taught them and the spirit filled the room. the next day All of them came to church, along with some friends they brought. it seems like their testimonies of the church were starting to fall apart a little bit. but we feel that we have been able to get them a little back on track. and it is so true that our testimonies can begin to decay if we dont nurture them with the word of God. That is why reading the scriptures is soo important. 

This week we were abe to teach this new family that we found. their names are Mariel, Virignia, and Pablo. We taught them the Plan of Salvation and how God has provided that we can live in our families forever! it is not just till death but families are eternal! I am glad that my family is eternal! cause my family is just soooo awesome! I cant imagine not being with them forever! I love you all! 

we have been teaching some other people like a guy named Oscar. He is doing well. he and his wife are reading the Book of Mormon together. I love their family so much. they are really awesome people. lol and funny. so I have been trying to live more like Jesus lately. and to develope qualities more like Him. I have been trying to be more patient. lol which for me is soooo hard! Especially as we all know how patient I am on fast sundays or when I havent eaten for a long time :D it has helped me in our companionship and with how I treat everyone. lol I am still not perfect. but I am trying to be better. 

oh and Also I was able to go to Rosario this week cause Elder Glad had to do some visa work. and that was fun. lol nothing really happened. but anyhow, I hope that you are all doing well. I am doing great. we have awesome investigators. we just need them to come to church so they can feel the Spirit more in their lives! that is our challenge! getting people to come to church. but I am doing real good. love you all. have a great week!
