This week we had 26 lessons! and 248 contacts
We started teaching some old investigators that we had like a
month and a half ago. We had to stop visiting them because the wife was
having a really hard pregnancy and had the baby like 3 months early. We saw
them one day and now we're visiting them again! They are an awesome family and
super receptive! We re-taught the restoration and the wife remembered basically
everything! we challenged them to baptism and they said yes so we´re going to
work hard with them :)

We're also teaching the wife of a reference we got. Her name is
E and she is really receptive as well. Her husband is always working so we
haven´t taught him yet but she has talked to him about our visits and she also
talked to her mom. Her mom is a little bit closed to the idea of her receiving
the lessons and that she can´t change her religion but she said it doesn't
matter and that she´s going to do whatever God tells her to do.
This last week M's son K got dengue too! So we went and
taught him about priesthood and how he can give his son a blessing after his
baptism. He basically said there isn't anything holding him back from getting
baptized. He just needs to have a testimony of the gospel and then he won't
have negative feelings for his wife for not letting him go to church before...
Alright...now for A & M. We taught them and they
weren't feeling prepared to be baptized but we planned an interview just so we
could know how to help them better. A went first and it was like an hour and
a half...Elder Cruz said that we need to work with him on gaining a testimony
so tonight we are going to teach him more in depth about Joseph Smith. Then
M had her interview. SHE WANTS TO GET BAPTIZED THIS SUNDAY! She is feeling a
lot better about it and said that it's what she wants to do...she signed the register
and everything. BUT A said that their daughter couldn't have the interview so unless
he changes his mind she can´t get baptized this weekend. She was really sad
about it and she really wants to get baptized but we can´t overstep his
authority. Hopefully the lesson with them tonight will go well though and we´re
hoping to baptize M this weekend.

Last week at changes President Brough changed everything
so now I don´t even know when changes will be. This change is only 5 weeks, so
the missionaries going home will be home for Christmas. The one after that is 9 weeks and then from
there we have no idea if they´re going to be every 6 weeks like normal or if they
are going to stay at 8 or 9 weeks every change. I don´t know if I´m getting changed until
the week of changes.
I also got two
packages last week so THANK YOU!! for the chocolate (I already made thin mints)
and for the temple pictures, the cardboard tree the candy...EVERYTHING!
