phew this week was interesting. Monday was pretty cool!!! i was in intercambios (interchanges) and i was with someone with less time so a little scary but we did really good. We got to a house and at first the lady didn’t want anything to do with us, but we kept talking and testifying, she let us in. We talked with her and she said that she wanted to stop smoking, so we shared a message and then asked her if she had real intent to stop. She said yes. We then asked for her cigarettes, and she said ok, and gave them to us!!!! There is still a bit more of work but it was way cool to go into a house of a contact and leave with their cigarettes.

So nothing to crazy happened this week we worked our tails off had about 35 lessons and a ton of contacts, but when Sunday came we didn’t have to many "fruits". We had about 10 people that promised they would go Sunday, and 2 came. Seems to be a recurring thing with me and the work, but have to keep the faith, keep working hard. I mentioned in the letter president that we have four people we want to get baptized this month. We have not baptized this month and all 4 of us want to baptize. i know its possible to baptize every week but i still haven’t figured out how the Lord wants me to do it. We are praying and putting a lot of faith in them and in the Lord to bless their lives.

Message for the week. 1 Nephi 19:9 - this verse has helped me this week because, Jesus Christ suffered all things, i can suffer a little heat, a little sun, a little heat from my companion. I am trying to learn about being long-suffering. something that we can all have. a little more patience with everyone :)

So a little miracle that was pretty cool, we were working one day and we got a little misplaced (and i have no clue how, i know this area like the back of my hand) but we were walking and we saw a house and i said to my companion that we should go there, we went and it was a family that had just moved and were less active for more than a year. This Sunday they came!!!

Tuesday night while it was raining really really hard, i was robbed!! woo hoo!! hahaha. I wont share the details, but all is good nothing lost. I took care of everything pretty calmly, he didnt even know i had cell phone, keys, camera, wallet. He only left with my watch, a little sad, but oh well I’m glad I’m safe and good.

I love you!!! have a great week!!
