Week 81
14 May 2018
Hey everyone.so this week has been cool. it wasmy birthday, and id say that it was my best birthday yet. i was able to celebrate it with a family that i love, them and my comp bought a cake and made a rice that here is eaten to celebrate and manit was agreat day. But the week was a little tough, we found a lot of new investigatores but we are having to use our time more wisely and stop visiting the people that dont progress,which that is kinda hard for me cause i love them and want to see them happy,but like they say you can take a horse to water but you cant make him drink. i bring these lovely familys the gospel, but its up to them if their gonna take the offer or not. which is sad but good. this week we also were able to teach thatone family that i talked about weeks ago. they named Yanel and Dunia. man, teaching them is great, cause one, we are the first evangelists that have entered their home, and two, they are very receptive. we taught themabout the resturation and them seem like theyregonnapray and ask God what to do,cause im SURE that they didnt believe us,but we told them to pray. and they will. Thats the beauty of the Gospel. Down here theres a church on every street, everybody beleives in God, but they just blindly follow their pastors doing what he says is the right thing to do. But what we do is different, we tell people to ask God directly if what we teach is the truth or if were the religion most incorrect of the world. And how is God gonna lie? and if they ask, theyll get their answer.
we also had the chance to do a lot of service in this week, i smashed my ankle with a carrito full of rocks. and its a littlebruised but im fine.
this week ive got changes, well im staying in tizatillo and del hoyo is gonnabe my comp.hes the same comp that i was with in cuidad españa. coolguy,well have a lot of fun here.
love yall.

Week 80
7 May 2018
Hey everybody. this week was crazy. i feel like its been three weeks of expirance in 7 days. man, its been nuts. haha.
First on tuesday we went to ojojona to do divisiones with the elders there cause they needed help we got there at 11ish and we were gonna lunch there but then a lady finds us and says i need help building a fence so from 11ish to 12:30ish we built a fence. (it was tough i got burnt and i was mad cuase i didnt wanna do that and i was already on edge because of things with these elders of ojojona) so finally we finnish and there wasnt transport so we hitched a ride to the pueblo. they actually werent gonna go to ojojona, but they took us there anyway. and so long story short, the elders never showed up. so we went back to our area, and wasted a ton of time. But we had the chance to help that lady build her fence and she needed help, and that had to be the will of God. and a lot of the time, it takes more faith to accept God´s will than to see miracles.
We also had consejo de lideres this week. its a big ol meeting for the leaders of the mission. it was cool, we got some nice ideas from pres so we can do something good in our areas. but coming back from tegus, there was a ton of traffic on the two lane freeway lol. a big truck lost control and crashed so nobody could get a round. we lost a lot of time right there. but after we went to visit a chick named kelyn, i think i talked about her last week. she got made at us for not visiting her and we invite her to church. and she says ill never go again. i liked it but i dont want ot go. so i mean, we could keep visiting her, but theres other people that need ot hear us and we just loose our time when people dont try to learn and progress. soshe went on vacation this week and i dont think well see her for a while. maybe she could change her mind but, i doubt it. the thing is is that she recived the answer that she had to go to church and get baptised, but she didnt act on it. and the spirit wont always fight us so she had her chance but she didnt take it.
this week was stressful and cool. im doing fine, i have clothes and food and water and air. the important stuff hah.
love yall.
