So this week was alright. We were working hard and saw some success but always there is something that doesn't go right during the week. This week we had a baptism planned and it fell threw because the mom doesn't want to give us permission. We aren't sure why but we will work with her this week to see how it goes. So we found someone super awesome it is just that they don't go to church... Man it is so hard to get people to go to church... They always have an excuse... It sucks. But you just gotta deal with it right? So we started working with a kid well he is 20 years old. His name is Ricardo. He is a member and we are trying to get him to go on the mission. So we leave with him when we can and we visit him a lot. His mom isn't a member so we are working with her too. He is a great guy. I am helping him with english too. So we also had interviews this week. President is just a great guy. He helps me out a lot. He talked about a few consepts when he taught us and wow they are great. I hope this week we can start ripping the area open again and find the news that the Lord has prepared for us. Well that's it for this week! Love you!!! 

PS I met the salvadoraño style Nick Dokus

Well another week down and in the books. Hard to say that the time just flies by... I have no idea how it does but man it just doesn't stop ticking. So this week had its ups and downs. The downs were only 5 out of 7 days of work... And Saturday there was an activity in the church so really only 4 days of hard work. It really messed up our week... It started on Wensday when we had to go to another área to work. We were in the capitol working. I had the chance to work with Elder Roundy in his área. It was nice to see him again but sad at the same time. There has been Little to zero progression in his spanish. He has almost 8 months in the misión.. I am getting worried for him... He is really lost all the time... But Thursday we went to the capitol to listen to 2 70's. One was the 1st counseler in the área presidency, Elder Zeballos, and the other was Elder Gong. One of the Presidents of the quorum of the 70. All the talks were mainly centered on the spirit. It was an awesome experience to listen to their talks and inspiration that they had recieved for us. Haha a funny part was that there were only 2 missions there. The West and the East. The West showed up late hardly anyone was in a suit, and almost all of us were in suits. It is just kinda disappointing that those missionaries were not as well behaved as our misión. But what ever. I shouldn't judge but it's hard not to. Anyways, we had a very good lesson with the mom of familia Lopez. She told us that her companion doesn't want to recieve us anymore and all sorts of stuff. She decided to leave him. Now she has been looking for a job to move out with her kids. We talked to her about  trials and it was a very spiritual lesson. She really has so much faith. it is incredible. We are struggling with finding people to go to church. Well new people. We always have like the same 5 come but it's time for new people so we can keep baptizing. We found some families that are really good. We will just have to keep working with them. So ya that wass my week! Love you!

Well this week was a good and bad. We just worked hard I would have to say. I don't really have much to say, just that we had interchanges with the zone leaders. I worked with Giron. It was super fun to work with him again. I love the guy. I am sad that I was only with him for one change. But we found some pretty awesome people in the interchange. We found 11 investigators just in one day. It  was pretty fun. The elections for mayor were on sunday so we only had 27 people in church... Ridiculous. Then only one investigator. Rough week but this week we will work harder to get more success. Love you
