Monday the 21st ......

well hello there my wonderful familyhow are we all doing this week? well first off i want to say congrats to the big guy daddyio i knew somethin likethat was going to happen. iwas talking to my comp this week and he was like dude your dad is going to be bishop watch. well he sure was close huh. but dad to be honest im really happy for you big guy, thats what im talkin about. ...anyways so things here keep on moving along pretty good. this week wasnt the best week but was still a good one. =). It is actually pretty interesting staying an a area for 6 months cause to be honest i have worked in just about every area in my area and it is all about asking for help rom heavenly father agora. And to be honest it is working a lot, we have seen a ton of help and have found people to teach in areas that i have worked the most but have never seen these people before i think it is very interesting. And my testimony grows every day because of it.

One thing that we still have problems with is bringging people to church man, i swear people are either way lazy or thing that they will be saved cause they let us into there house, its so annoying hahaha. Good thing this ward helps out a little and brings at least a friend or two every week to church as well. Man , so we have been teaching this lady named Marlisa and she has been going to church for the longest time now. She went to church for the first time 3 or 4 years ago and stopped for a while when i got here she was coming every sunday and she still shows up, she just doeant want to get baptized...she has been going to the baptist church for 47 years, she said that she cant just leave those years behind her cause her dad was the pastor. oh what more can we do? so frustrating. she shared her testimony with us as well and she knows its the true church just doesnt want to through on the white clothes yet i guess =/.

Anyways, things here keep getting better and better pretty close to getting a temple here i think, well at least thats all we here about from the missionries and members haha so who knows wht will happen =). Things with the comp are going great i love this kid i, he works so hard and im sure grateful for that whn you have 2 kids workin hard at this work you have a lot of luck haha!!!! Its so crazy to see things and people change i mean this mission is the best thing i´ve ever done in life and i would not change a thing. I will for sure keep working hard and hopefully we will see moe blessings coming our way this week. we are sure excited for confrence as well should be a good one. =) well my wonderful family i have to go i love you tons and miss you as wel have a great week.
