After we went to the church to have a meeting with the missionaries who go to our bulding to be able to plan an activity for the ward. It went well, then we went and had some lunch and got to work. we went and visited justo who just doesnt seem to be able to stop smoking so we are working on that one still. After that we met this cool new guy named ricardo adn then another one named hector. After that we went and vsited the familia rios who are less active, but want to come back, and to end the night we visited the familia zapata, whose 8 year old son alan was awearing a shirt from greenacers elementary school! it was crazy to see and i didnt believe it was the same one until i saw the sponsors on the back! they have family that lives in the states and they send them clothes every now and then so some how that got sent down and i found it.. still working on finding out where their family memebr lives.. i dont think in wahington.. pretty sure new york.

It went really well we taught about the reason we do eveythign we do. Our love for jesus christ. there really is nothing better in the world then understanding that jesus christ loves us, and then showing our love for him by doing what he has asked of us.. there is no better, brighter,or hppier message on earth. after that we went and found a cool new named amelia, had english class, and then went and taught floras daughter who is kind of investigating the church it went really well, but we will see if she progresses.

Then after that we went to The familia carvajal house to share with them and then they invited us to eat ulnch with them so that was cool. After that wewnt and dropped the clothes off at the cubilla house hold and taught there less active daughter who told us we should try and speak to her husband so hat would be super cool. After that we went and taught lorenzo who is addicted to smoking and drinking. so he will be a great project. After that we went and found more news that loved near by, part of a family that was home that could progress. After that we were left to contact for a while becuase no one was home. Then we went to the hermana medina who is doing eally good and has made a strong comeback  thanks to her dedication to study the scriptures. If you want a stronger testimonay, or to know is somethings true or not.. the answer is always in the scriptures.

Then we went and visited Mariela Sanabria, who is basically active and are trying to help her dad come back to church now. then we went and visited Ortiz, and his family who are doing good, and we keep trying to help them so that the rest of the familty has more desire to act upon what we teach them. Becasue learning is good, but only if we act upon what we learn, if we dont act it does us no good. To end the night we went to the fmailia rios again, whose mom got put in the hospital for kidney stones and appendix probelms, she had to get surgrey and so we offered our lvoe and support to the familty to be able to help them in what ever they need.
