Water! and Hugs From Strangers

Happy New Year too everyone!!! well i dont have a toooonnnnn of time today so hear goes nothing!!

Lunes: Today we had some good things happen. First we had a really good lesson with ariel and mercedes who are the couple we are trying to help get married, ariel is doing super good, but mercedes is having some difficulties and doubts so hopefully we are able to contiue helping them and getting them ready for marriage. After that we went and visited the hermana Vera, who broke down a little bit and told us she need to change but is just struggling, so we are really excited to help her get back into church!

Martes: Started today with a district meeting with just remansito... only 4 elders, its our new district this change, pretty small. It was good though we brain stormed some ideas for the ward mission plan and talked about the importance of commitments. After words we got some studying in and then heaed out to teach on this new years eve. Our next planned baptism as of right now is Lorena, a sister that probably is about 30-35 years old, we got to talk to her husbn today though and he drinks but he might be someone we can work with after she gets baptized, we changed her baptism date a little earlier so he could make it, its set for next thursday! after that we went and visited nancy samaniego whose husband died in novemeber, she has a boyfriend, and is still is asking us for lots of help, her family is defs still struggling but we are trying our best. We also got another visit in with merceds and ariel and that was good, they too need more support thatn ever. then we did some walking around to find who we could visit and were walking down the street when this drunk guy stopped his car got out talked to us bout how good of people we are, and then at the end told us that he ws goig to give us a hug. It ended up with him wrapping his arms around our wastes and lifting us... what a way to celebrate the new year right??? hahah. then we did get a lesson in with a less active and after that we headed over to the other elders house, had ourselves a little new years eve dinner and then went to bed exhausted only to wake up at twelve again to fireworks.. there ar soooo many here its awesomeish hahah.

Miercoles: WHAT A WAY TO START THE YEAR WE WOKE UP TO WATER!!!!! yes after three weeks of struggling to be clean, we got ourselves a real shower.. it was so nie! after that we got to work as normal taught our investigator Lorena who is beyond ready for baptism. We then ate a delcious lunch of hamburgers and hotdogs, and then hit the sterets. A ton of walking, drunks, garbage, and nobody home or awake to let us in.. we still got some good work in. but water.... what a great way to start the new year... i kind of forgot about how good it is to have it. 

Jueves: We switched things up a little bit today and did a little studying in the morning and then heaed out to teach early. Taught Lorena again, she lready knows everything e are just maing sure that she is good and prepared for her desision to be baptized. Then we ate lunh with the Sosa family, and after that meet with the other branch missionaries to put together the whole branch mission plan it looks really good, and more than anythign we are trying to help the ward actually have activities this year for the youth. that was good, then we got some studying in during the heat of the day, and headed back out when it was a little cooler. We taught the vera family and that went really well, and then called it a night.

Viernes: Today nobody was home... it rained a little bit and there was a tno of walking. we taught lorena agian and she is sooooo ready. we also got a phone call from the zone leader. he said that we were going to have a divison tomorrow and that i was going to mariano for the day with him so that was good. WE get a really good lesson in with ariel and mercedes right before the divisoin, but it went just a little too long and started raining during it. so after we had missied all the colectivos and had to walk and hour to mariano in the rain and over the bridge.. it was a fun time but sooooooooooooo tiring. not really to much exciting today.

Sabado: Today there was a ton of walking!!! we did eat a pretty dag gpood lunch, and my main man arial called me from remansito and we started a group fast over the phone so that his senora would want to marry him! it was soooo awesome. Me and elder snchez taught really well, and our lessons were full of the spirit it was soooo awesome!! Today was really hot but we got some really good work done. Elder sanchez did get a litttle sick by the end of the division but we got some really good work in before that.. nothing too exciting though. we ended the division and i made my way to remansito again.

Domingo: ¡BENDICIONES DE LOS CIELOS! we had two investigadors in the church!! and lorena is offially all ready to be baptized this week, and the other one is going to be ready for his date. We had 47 people in church today 14 Less actives, and our 2 investigators. after church we got right to work and visited vera, gabriel (our next next baptism) Lorena, and manuel and it was a great day! We ended theweek with some really good numbers, which is always a good feeling!, Lorena also told us that she wants my comp to baptize her so he can have the expierence which is exactly what i wanted and she said that she wants me to do the confirmation so that should be intresting!

Lunes: Today we went to Pizza Hut, and the office, and that was it, it was a good day but it always goes by way too fast.. got 2 FHE tonight that should be good.. we will see...

Love you all so much.. i think we will get a litle time to write tomorrow so thats when ill respond to the personal emails.. love you guys so much!!! hope te holidays were great for you guys!!! Love YA TONS!!
