blessings

This week we taught Paola again. She is incredible. We had a super good lesson with her. She has been through a lot of hard things, but she has a lot of faith. On Sunday, she brought her brother to church. Her testimony is so strong and she's helped me a lot to strengthen my own. She has to change a few things to get baptized but she remembers her baptismal date really good. 18 de Mayo.

We found this girl named Ashley that is awesome too! She is 18 and her best friend is a member. She likes sharing with us and she went to church on Sunday! I feel blessed to have such good people.

We found this other 16 year old girl whose cousin is a member. She is super nice too. When we leave things with her to read she actually reads and then understands. Wow! God bless her. She is progressing really good. 

Last week I sent a picture of our iron that broke. We took it to some people that we taught and they said that it was "unfixable". This morning we had nothing to do. I took it apart. Cut a few wires. Put a few wires back together. And it works! hahaha! I didn't electrocute myself either!

Everything is going really good here in Salcedo. All of the 4 good progressing people that we are teaching are women between 16 and 24. Haha. The mission is good.

I felt the spirit a lot this week and I know that this is what I should be doing right now. There are still a lot of hard things but its worth it. Jesus lives and loves us!

sorry no pictures this week

The mission is cool.

I say that every week is good but this week was REALLY good.

We are teaching this lady named Paola. We taught her a few times and read the Book of Mormon but then we could never get together with her to share. We were walking Saturday morning and she pulls up in her car. She said that she wanted us to come by. We went over in the night and she wasn't there but we came back later and had the lesson of my mission with her. She told us that she had been reading El Libro de Mormon and that she had been wanting us to come over. We taught her about the Restoration of Jesus' church. The spirit was so strong and there were some tears. YES! We invited her to be baptized and she accepted. I know that the Gospel will bless her life. She is awesome!

We are teaching this other lady named Angelina. She told is super good and wants to change her life, but she told us she was coming to church 3 times and didn't. We were going to leave her if she didn't come this Sunday. But she did! She has lots of potential to be baptized. She is awesome too!

We are finding a bunch of good people who need the gospel in their lives. We are teaching a lot of new teenagers that I like teaching because they remind me of myself and I know the Gospel will help them to have better lives.

We played basketball today!

Living in a house of 4 is still really fun. We do a lot of wrestling.

My trainer is going home this week. I learned a lot of things from that big black Dominican man. 

Pictures,

Me and Jesucristo!

Elder Vallejos dropped the iron and it stopped working. He took it apart. It doesnt work any better now than it did before.
