Then we had a good lunch and got to work. We went and visited a les active memebr who said she really never had a testmony of the church and right now she is trying to find out if it is true. The best homeworj k we could give her was to read the book of mormon and to keep praying.. best guide there is to this life. Then we went and found some cool new people to teach and theat went well after that we went and visited ariel anwhich went well he seems to be doing way better! after that we went and visited an investigator named karina, who is doing super well and has recvied her answer from god that the church is true. She just needs to get married now. Then we went and had a NDH where we played Jenga. It went really well and was a good night.

Miércoles: 11 months today!!!!! crazy how that works right! weird to think how fast it goes and how im almost at the year mark time sure does seem to fly right on by! Often makes ya think of if your doing things the best way ya can be. Today we did get some real solid work in.  we went and visited the familia vera who mght just be ready to progres here prety soon. Then we went and visited Poala who if she could be blesed ith a more stable job would be able to go to church on sundays instead of work. Then we visited Lucy who as long as she goes to church this sunday will be baptized this next weekend.. really hoping nothing comes up. After that we had really good visits with Sandra and with the familia florintine. TOnight got prety dang cold! well not compared to up there in the winter.

Jueves: TOday we did weekly planning because tomrrow we are going on a division. It went pretty well. We had a good lunch with the lopez family and are trying to help reactivate the daughter atleast. After we went and found a new investigator that was alright, named juliana. After that we put together a lot of little lessons that didnt last to long but were still pretty effective. Then we had a super awesome leson with Karina and the hermana lopez. If you guys can please do visits with the missionaries.. it really makes all the difference. Overall today was a pretty good day. 

Viernes: Started a division this mornign with Elder Quintana from Peru. He is a good guy, seems prety cool and is about 2/3 of the way done with his mision. WEstarted the day off super well and had a great amount of stuf accomplished before lunch. then after lunch the day just fell through. We have been planning alot better as a mission recently and i have never had a day where no plan for 5 hours went through.. it made for a lot of contacting and finding new places to teach but it seemed like not that meany peopole wanted to listen to us for some reason. We did have a super good lesson with the kid of an investigador who nknew almost nothing about religion.. it was intresting to teach him but went really well. Then we visited the maritniez family and the swung by matías and Ilsa it ended up being a prety tiring and tough day but it was preety good. 

Sabado: Switched back to be with elder phippen and then we started to work. We had a good lesson with the wife of an old investigador who was very catholic. It went really well actually and then we headed home to cook our own lunch. After that we went and had good lessons with Christian a 17 year old kid who seemed pretty cool , and with rueben who was cool but travels a lot.. after that we went and visited sandra who just keeps getting stronger and strogner.  after that we went and had a good lesson with cecilio a new guy we are teaching as well, hopefully someone will be able to get o church of all these people we are teaching though. After that we went and visited Eva whose kidswhere going crazy!! it was insane but it was funny at the end haha. After that we went and visited Ariel who said that he would be in church the next day so thats super good!

Domingo: TOday was good we had 67 people in church with 1 less active and 1 investigator. unfortunatley it wasnt lucy who went so we will have to postpone her baptism again... its a strugle. I had to give a talk in church and choose to gave it on the importance of scripture study. It went well and i felt liked at least some people listened hahah. After that we went to lunch and then started teaching we went by alexadrias house and then had a meeting at the stake center with all ward leaders and our mision president. It went really well and hopefully we will be able to get a little more memebr support this upcoming months. After that we went and visitied a part active family and had a good lesson and then contacted until the time ran out. It ended up being a pretty good week.
