Hello Family
Hey family, how is everyone doing? Another week gone by. We ended the week with the marriage and baptism of Fabricio Farfan. We had the help of a lot of the members to make the marriage come to pass. We thought that we were going to have to postpone the baptism again for the third time but we have a lawyer in our ward and she helped us a ton with all of the paper work and everything. The baptism was a really good service. Fabricios wife didn't follow the example of her husband but we still have hope for her. The only thing that she is missing is the prayer and to receive an answer. We are trying to help her see the importance of the gospel in her life and more importantly in her family.
Besides the baptism we had a pretty rough week. We are having a hard time finding new people to teach. Like Elder L. Tom Perry said in conference that the missionaries are spending more time looking for people than teaching. That is defiantly the truth. Here in the mission the main focus is to find people through the references because those are the people that will progress. The problem that we have right now is that there aren't very many references. But nothing to worry. Even though we had a low week in references and people to teach we are with buen animo, I don't remember what that is in English haha I think it would be like excited. We are going to start this week with lots of faith and we are going to find the people that want to listen to our massage and that are ready to receive the restored gospel in their lives.
uno de mis compeneros dice que escriba en español. Para que aprenda español. Algunos de ustedes ya saben español entonces pueden responderme en español la proxima semana.
Just a little bit of Spanish to throw there. Im looking forward to hearing from everyone. I hope that all the moms have good mothers days and im looking forward to calling home. Love and miss everyone a ton.
