Hey fam! How is everyone doing? This week was successful I would say. So we have still been finding teaching and doing just about everything to help others come unto Christ and get rid of their sins with a baptism by someone who holds the priesthood authority of God. I enjoyed this week to be honest. So Monday we played softball and soccer. But the reason why we didn't write more than 10 minutes was because we let the sisters cook something and it wasn't even good but it took 3 hours to cook it.. Ridiculous. Anyways, Tuesday we worked hard and we put a baptismal date with Jesus. He is awesome and I just hope he changes his mind about a few things and changes to be baptized. You can see how bad he wants to be forgiven but he lacks a few things. Wednesday we got to go to the temple. I LOVE going to the temple. You learn so much and you just feel so close to your Heavenly Father. I enjoy my semi'annual visit to the House of the Lord. We didn' even get to go to our area after we had left it in the morning. We got back at 830 at night and the last bus goes by at 630. I think we just barely missed it right? Haha so then Thursday we had a baptismal interview for Maria. She is going to be baptized!!! We are so excited for the 25th. Also we found a ton of new investigators. We found 8 in one day. So we are doing pretty good in all aspects of the work! We even had a service this week, well it was a really short service project because I almost cut my finger off with a machete cutting a tree down. We almost saw the bone!!! Haha so they gave me 2 stitches and even one is under my fingernail. Wow my finger really hurts. But ya! Just working hard to get those 'tisms. But ya. So that was my week. Hope you had a great week. Love ya'll!!!

Hey Fam! What's Up? Just clocking in from El Salvador we're in the morning right now and we're outside on our patio listening to the birds and looking at my Mango tree, the fruit that has the cashews on it, I have one of those trees at my house too. I have a bunch of trees that don't even exist in the States here right now at my house, it's pretty cool. But it sucks because right now we're in the season without fruit. I have a papaya tree that has a ton of papaya on it though, it's pretty sick. But we're just sitting here, I was thinking about my week to talk to you guys. I already wrote the letter, but like, this week up to Sat. it was amazing. Well, Monday kind of blew, well, we had fun and everything, but didn't get to write and that kind of upset me. But the rest of the week was great. We honestly had a great week. Then Sunday rolled around and no one went to church. well, we had 2 people go to church, we had 2 people progress. It was just really frustrating. We have a sister that had her baptismal interview. She is supposed to be baptized this next Saturday that comes. I really hope it happens because I have been working so hard in this area to get another baptism and it just has not happened. Like we are working incredibly hard to do this and I want to do what the Lord wants me to do, so it's just a little bit difficult to get people to get baptized sometimes. I mean, their agency, the thing is in this area right now is we find amazing people, they love it, they want to change and everything, but then they don't like to use their agency to do good things, like go to church. Like it's really hard for me and the kid I'm training. We're working hard and everything but we just can not find that person that goes to church that first time that we visit them. We can not find that person that wants to be baptized. IT is really difficult, but we'll be ok.
This week was really good. All except for the Sunday part. But, I've been learning a lot in the scriptures. President Durrant was telling us we needed to learn more about the Book of Mormon and the spirit. I really like chapter 4 and 5 of Preach my Gospel, it really helps me understand my purpose and understand how I can help others come unto Christ more effectively. Because I mean if I just sit there and teach them everything and they never read or they never feel the Spirit, they will never be baptized because who wants to be baptized. Especially here, there's like a church on every single corner and there's like 3 churches on every block. So everyone's baptized, everyone goes to church.
The week wasn't that bad. We found a ton of NEWS this week. Just working hard to get people to progress. The mission life isn't the easiest thing.
Oh and Sat. I almost cut my finger off with a machete, just so you all know. Got a couple stitches and they put one of the stitches under my finger nail because there was nothing else to put it in. It hurt so bad. Still hurts. Bleeds a ton. Always have to clean it. Almost saw the bone. You'll see the pictures.
Have a good one!
