Welp

HEY everybody well this week was really good, we are doing everything possible to get everybody to get married and IN THE WATER, we are doing well but please pray for us aight
the photos that are on my blog thing this week that I will send to my mom are not great, but there is one that has my companion with a card that has some words written on it, that was the card that we gave to the lady that is dumb and deaf, "the miracle card," so we took a picture of it when we went to see Teresa.  She is doing well if you were wondering, she NEVER misses going to church and my heart melts a little bit more every time we talk to her.  This week we learned the alphabet in signs, and we are learning a lot to keep helping and teaching her. Everyone else is doing really well too, we are facing some difficulties but if there were no difficulties there would be no sucsess so "opposition in all things" I guess.  Anyways we are doing really well and this week flew by, I love the people that we have here and they are all making great strides towards their goals and the things they want for their lives, and I am glad to be a part of it.  Today we got together with our zone and played futbol and some other games which was sort of fun, more than anything it was cool to get together with the whole squad
Anyways trust me the next weeks email is going to be l e g e n d a r y, we are seeing miracles every day and working very hard, pray for us and for the people we are teaching please, I love you guys take care aiiiight

Well all this week was really really good, I know that I am already finishing my mission but man we are just kickin trash out here.  Well God is kicking the trash and we are watching and helping as much as possible, but hey we have seen a lot of miracles lately, this week we had 11 investigators come to church, a miracle in itself being that when we got here there were 0 investigators...I'm extremely grateful that the Lord helped us speed up the work enough to be able to see the fruits of our labors here within the 12 weeks that I had left when we got here.  Next week we are going to have the marriage ceremony and the baptisms, and we are really excited and anxious.  We are doing great, and love the work.  Today we were able to go to Renca to see some of the people that I knew from there (say goodbye :(), and I was really happy to see a lot of people that I knew, and they were waiting for me with the news that one of E' Moss and I's converts, (Valerio) and his girlfriend (Maricruz) are putting off their wedding to GO ON MISSIONS WOOOOOOOO BABY man I am so happy, they are going to be great missionaries and I know that the time that they have on their missions will help them prepare for their lives, and for many great, great things to come. I am glad to have known them and for the decisions that they are taking.  I'm full of gratitude to God for all of the blessings that I have received in my life, and I hope all of you are doing very well, take care of each other and give my dad a hug for me (happy fathers day)

Welp all this week was really good, we are still finding lots of people, teaching a lot, helping a lot of people.  We have made so many friends and seen so many changes in the people in our sector.  You may remember the people that I was talking about last week, well we started to inform the leaders of our ward that they are going to get married, (we are going tomorrow to get the date to get them married,) and everyone from our ward started to FREAK with happiness and instantly started helping to get everything ready.  The relief society president assigned: someone to MAKE her a wedding dress, someone to make the food, someone to decorate, someone to do her hair, someone else for the makeup, someone for the shoes and we are going to take care of the groom.   It was honestly one of the happiest moments of my life seeing everyone in the ward take charge and take it into their own hands to help them, it helps us know that they will be their friends and stick around for them when we are no longer around.  I love the mission and the people, and I love the Gospel and my Heavenly Father for the life that he has given me.  I love all of you guys, if you need anything let me know.

Well everybody to my surprise (and to everybody else in our mission's) we did NOT have changes, and Elder Claro and I will be together for the next six weeks.  We are excited to continue together, we are going to have a lot of sucsess in these next couple weeks.  This week we were able to work a lot with a man named Gerardo. We talked to him sitting outside of his house a couple of weeks ago, and told us that he was into some really deep stuff (problems) and that he was afraid that he was little by little losing his family.  We talked with him for a while about the gospel and gave him a book of mormon. I remember how sad he looked and how lost he seemed, something all of us can relate to, a moment or two in our lives when we have been very desperate and in need of help.  Unfortunately we weren't able to see him again for about a week and a half after we met him, but we went back last saturday and he was COMPLETELY changed.  He invited us in, smiled laughed and joked with us, and was very gratefull for that conversation that we had, that he was able to see hope and light at the end of the tunnel.  Since then he has come to church for the last two weeks straight and to the english class that we do in the church, and he is doing very well.  He and his girlfriend are very sure that they want to be baptised as soon as possible. We are going to help them get married and baptized a s a p.  Also we were really trying realy hard with the colombian family that we are teaching this week, and we were sad to see that they didn't show up to sacrament meeting when we were SO SURE that they would come.  Then to our surprise as we started to teach Gospel Principles the mom, Clara, and her son, David, both showed up !!!  Elder Claro and I danced in the hallway soon after (sometimes you just gotta do it.) I will admit that here in the mission have been the only times when I have ever felt the need to dance of happiness.  We are also working with a great kid named Matias, and he has become one of our best friends here in our sector, he also accepted a baptismal date this week and is progressing to be able to meet it.  Everything is good in Zion, I hope that you all are doing very well, write me an email if you've got a minute.
