Hey everyone. well this week was great, the house is still full of rats and fleas. but im doing fine i killed two fleas this morning. yuck. theyre the worst cause when you see them they get spooked and start jumping all over the place and i lose them casue the floor of my house has black specks all over so everythign looks like a flea. haha.


this week we had some cool things happen. first we found some more people who love the church and wanna get baptised (hopefully) and they are neamed faviola and yohan. theyre from españa, their accent is really weird and instead pf calling us misionaries they call us mormons. haha it kills me.


also this week we went to visit a member named Santiago Espinoza. They call him "El Tio" who knows why.Hes a great guy has like 6 years of being a member and hes just a humble liitle guy who sells vegetables. We went to a place that is suposed to be super dangerous but its chill there, it a little town behind a few mountians. we had never been so we got there and just started asking people where he lived, and we just got to a house on a big property and i said, lets ask here and looking accros the property to the house i see el tio, and man, he was so happy that we got there. At the end of the visit he told us to come by more and his wife as well (even though she goes to a church that preaches againtst our church) some good people .


I also had a great cahnce to learn a little more about loving the people this week. we visit a family named Familia Banegas and they have been members for a really long time but because the hno got sick and nobody from the church visited him he started going to another church and we knew for a long time but a little while ago he told us. and at first i was mad, and was going to machete him ha. but a few days later we visited hiima gain, and nothing changed. Still wants to go to his other chruch but i wasnt mad at him anymore i just thought. Poor guy is suffering he doesnt have friends in church he just is going where he feels loved. But i dont have to be mad or turn against him for his decsion, i just gotta love him. and thats a blessing of the gospel is that we learn to love everybody regardless of what they do.


love yall.
good week.
