Hola Familia!
Ok so this week was pretty good, we got 9 new investigators and had 7 come to church yesterday, my companion says its one of his most successful sundays on his mission, it was really good. last sunday i don´t know if i told anyone or not but my companion was kind of rude to a man that we contacted who said the church isn´t true, on the street, we were walking away from that and a woman contacted us around the corner and asked us to come teach her son, which made up for it, so we thought, we went to the womans house and taught her son all this week, he´s ready to be baptised already we just have to re-activate his mom. so they came to church and it was perfect he´s prgrossing nicely along with his brother and sister, who are also old enough to be baptised and they all want to be :) so we went to there house sunday night around 7:00 pm to say hello to the family and to see if her husband wanted to hear the gospel, he´s catholic only home sunday afternoons and the same guy my companion was rude to........ he calls it his piece of humble pie. i sure hope things work out.
Wednesday night is mutual here and we got a ride to the church with a member and 4 investigator boys, it was going great, we had to go to a meeting with the bishop and left them all playing soccer, about 7:50 there was a knock on the door, the youngest boy (12) was standing there, missing a shoe which was stolen by a non-member boy, we couldn´t find it and were late back to our apartment, we looked for it sunday and found it stuck between the wall that souronds the church yard and the builing next to the wall, about a 4 or 5 inch gap, very glad to have found the shoe :)
One of our investigators (Daniela) lost a cousin this week and because of the catholic rosery or whatever wasn´t able to come to attend church with us, also a recent convert in the ward, (Maria del Carmen) had a heart attack this week(she´s 30), it was really hard on the sons who are also investigators of ours and they cou´ldn´t make it either, so the only ones that couldn´t come to church were the ones with extenuating cercumstances. all of our other investigators made it to church well actually the family of gold, there kids didn´t come again, so we pushed back the baptism date 3 weeks and told the parents they needed to help get there kids to church so they could be bapised as a family, we said it nicer than that... Quote of the week: Be a lagit missionary, like jesus wants you to be.... he probably wouldn´t use those words though.
Anyway thats the weekly e-mail, love you all!
