Hola familia y los demas(Hello Family and others) (las personas quien todavia no me escriben – The people who still do not write to me)

Well this week has been pretty much the same we have been trying to visit people but it has been pretty hard to find people to teach. Alot of people tell us that our area is the worst and that we are not going to find many people and what makes it worse is we are opening the area so it has been a little tough but eh, we are going to baptize at least four this change I hope. haha.

One thing that was pretty sweet is that right after we finished emailing, my comp received an email from his friend saying that his aunt lives in Xalapa and that maybe one day we could go and visit her on p-day. Well, I asked him where it was and he said that street and then our map just flashed in my eyes and I yelled HEY ESTA EN NUESTRA AREA!!(Hey! It is in our area!!) It was just barely in our area, so we went and we were not able to put fechas (dates)with them but they are accepting the lessons right now and we are suppose to stop by and teach them a couple times this week.

We also have an investigator, Miguel, he was -well we found him in kind of a bad situation, but we are helping him right now and he is progressing a lot and has already been to church so we are hoping to baptize him before the end of the month which would be great. He has really shown a desire to change and we hope that it is real, but he has told us several times yo dejare cual quier cosas para ser bautisado (I would give up everything to be baptized), so I hope he is telling the truth. 

I learned a couple of new phrases this week the first quiere partir pan which means you wanna part the bread -but it means to fight here- and the other is quieres ver Mexico en la noche which means wanna see Mexico in the night- which also means wanna fight or wanna black eye so, it has been pretty awesome.

There is a sister in our ward and she has a dog that likes to eat yellow apples and hates people. Well, I have now changed her heart(the dog) and she is pretty much my best friend. She was kissing my face. Now I just need to do that with my investigators, and I mean change their hearts, not get them to kiss my face. (Dave she went 100 percent in I didn’t even move).

We met a sweet hermana(siter) this week. She has a non-member husband and we are going to do our best to help them become a full member family. They are really awesome people and they even invited me to their daughters birthday party and fed us a bunch of homemade pizza and water of jamaica no not jamaica like bob marley it is a fruit or something I think.

We have been working hard to find new people but we are getting really frustrated. We have noticed that even though we get mad sometimes, we still have the best companionship because other people have been talking behind their companions back, but we talk to each other and have been super happy together. haha He is pretty funny and a great guy, but he eats a lot and I mean a lot.

Well sorry, not a whole lot has happened this week but I just want you to know that the Lord is aware of everyone of us and like it says in Alma 7, I think it is 11, he suffered every affliction, pain, temptation, everything he could have succored us by the power of revelation but chose to suffer every single pain to help us know we are not alone. He is there for us and will help us. I have had some struggles this transfers. It has been really hard on me, but I know that he loves me and he helps me with every step and for that I am grateful.

Love you all and Hope that you have a great week. y si quieres partir pan o ver mexico en la noche digasme y pues voy a ensenarte jaja (and if you want to break bread or see Mexico in the night, let me know because I am going to teach you. haha).
