Finally some photos!!!





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.

This picture was taken in October!
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!
