OK so this week we did alot, we got work done! it was difficult to get people to church, only 2 investigatores came to church, 2 out of 16, oops, not one of them in church has a baptismal date, we have 10 people with dates and they didn´t go it was frustrating, thank you all for your Birthday wishes I feel like a kid still don´t worry, doubt i will ever get over that. i was using a bike that was uh, um forgot how to say this in english.... Prestado? oh lent! i was using a borrowed bike until i could get my own, i found one for 623 pesos about 55 bucks or something like that. I miss my other area but i´m making friends here as well, i like being on a bike alot more, you don´t waste nearly as much time traveling when your on a bike, that and my feet are not nearly as tired at the end of the day, the picture attatched is the last photo taking in my other area, the battery on my camera is dead and i need to buy another charger as i lost the one i had..... however, we are teaching lots of different types of people right now, last week we were in soriana, mexican version of walmart, and this guy came up to us and got mad at us cause my companion had talked to him in the street about a month ago, they wrote down his address and then never went by, so we went by this week, family of 5 their daughter has just had a child, their names are: javier sr.; apolinar, Maleni, Laura, and Javier jr. they are fairly interested, the parents not so much, but Laura with the baby has alot of intrest in the church, she´s 18 just had a baby 2 weeks ago and her ¨husband¨, as she calls him, is in prison in the states, he got picked up by immagration, but they aren´t married, nobody here is married it makes it difficult to baptize, as you have to be married to be baptized in the church, you just can´t be living with someone which is literally what EVERYONE does here in Rio Bravo. its frustrating, hopefully she responds well when we teach them the law of chastity, chances are that even the parents aren´t married, i´ve seen homes where 5 generations are all living in the same house and not 1 couple is married.... Anyway, this week was good, and hard at the same time. Thanks everyone for the happy birthday wishes again!
Love you all,
Elder Allen
