I really do like this area!! Heres how the week went!
Lunes: We ran to the office and got a new cell phone.. then after that we tried to go bowling but it happened to be closed for matineice so that was just one giant fail!! after that we got back home and got out to work.. We contacted a bunch until we found a cool new guy named joel and then went and helped a less active family prepare to cut out a griant stump of a mango tree.. ask dad how hard mango tree wood is.. but its pretty hard.. i got 4 blisters on my hands (apparently studying the scriptures really hard doesnt callus my hands..) and we ended up breaking the ax.. but we got a good start to it...had a good lesson there and then as we were calling it a night, got a call from the assitents saying that we had zone meeting tomorrow and that we had to prpare a 30 minute presentaion from the last zone concilio we went to.. so that was a fun scramble.. we threw some ideas together and then went to bed.
Martes: Had Zone conference today that went really well we all got our own 72 hour kits, and the parts that we had to teach went really well, overall a super tranquilo meeting. then we went had some lunch and then headed out and got some teaching done. We visited Franscico Torrs a guy that eler greer has been helping to get the temple and they are super close. After we went and talked to this super cool guy named reinaldo. He seemmed like he could have some potential. To end the night we went and talked to the familia ovelar, whose parents are active and the kids are not, so we are in the battle with the kids. Overall good day.

After that we went and talked to Dani who seems to be progressing although he has not gone to church yet, and then we went to a reference we had recieved of someone who went to the church years ago. It was a miracle family we found they used to be active, but never got baptized, and so we found a mom dad and two kids that loook like they will be getting ready to get baptized here pretty dang soon, that is if everything goes acording to plan.
