4 months down & 6 more weeks in San Pedro las Huertas!

 I´m staying in San Pedro with Hna. Alvarado! No vamos a ver cambios! woohoo! 

4 Months down!!! 

I´m doing good - just preaching repentance haha. My favorite scriptures to use are in Alma cinco (or cincho as we like to call it) haha I really like to give chicoté with amor of course haha but being a missionary is awesome..

I finally realized that this is the greatest experience ever !

So this week was really good. We started visiting the wife (not actually married) of a member and her name is B. She is actually really receptive and likes learning about the church. Her husband is actually an x-stake president so he answers like all of her questions. The only problem is that he is still married with his other wife but they´ve been separated for 10 years...so we don´t really know how to approach the situation. He´s really cool though but his old wife won´t sign the divorce papers. Their friend S was there the first time that we taught them too and she is really receptive. She has a tough work schedule though but we´re going to keep trying to get in touch with her because she was really ready to learn more about the gospel. We also taught I´s parents. They aren´t really interested at all but hopefully “I” can be the example they need in their home. He´s such a good kid. He was confirmed on Sunday but his parents didn´t come.

We found a family of like 7 last week. They are really cool but the dad has a crazy work schedule. They seem really ready to learn more but we just have to find time to teach them and all will be well! We taught them about prayer the first night and they seem like a really united family.  

We also taught A and M again. A is a lot more receptive than M and we gave them a copy of the conference ensign to read. They are so great and A is SO ready to be baptized (after he prays and gets a testimony). We invited him to come to church and he said yes! BUT..we passed by for him on Sunday and the Catholic church called him to teach something..I didn´t really understand. What I do understand is that Satanás es astuto. Really A is going to love the true church when he joins it. He was really scared about attending so maybe that had something to do with it too.

Finally! We got photos of her cute apartment

We also found another family. They are really cool and want to hear more. At the end of the lesson we invited the husband R to say the prayer and he said no that he´s not worthy to pray. So we´re going to explain to him in more detail that God just wants to hear from him and that he can always pray!  We had the noche de Hermanamiento in the house of a less active member family which went really well. They still didn´t come to church on Sunday though.

We ran in to J D and he had been smoking marijuana and so we told him he needed to shape up and if he wanted to change we were there to help him but if not that he needed to move out of M´s house because the stuff he´s into is dangerous. Well he came to church on Sunday and we had a lesson with him and basically he said he wanted to change and so we're going to do all we can to help him! That was a miracle.

We taught Hermana L again. She is a lot more receptive than the last time. She keeps saying she wants to get baptized but last night she said she´s not ready yet but she is going to get baptized sometime. It´s progress but we´re going to try and push for the 22 of this month.

Yesterday for Pday we just came to Antigua and went shopping. It was relaxing to actually get back to the house early enough to do nothing haha. Today in district meeting we read Ephesians 6:10-19. you guys should read it it´s great.

 I love you so much and I am so happy that we are going to be a family forever!  You are the best parents in the whole wide world!
