More than one man has been saved by thinking of his family

hey everybody. how life going over there.... hope everyone is starting the new year good.

this week we found this dude called roberto and his son, we have taught them a lot.... well, actually when i say we found him he was a reference of presidente, and so yeah, we have taught him a lot, the sad thing is that he couldn't go to the iglesia but yeah, it's been good. here things are starting to pick up a little, we are teaching people who are at their house when we put citas and so it looks as thought the Lord is blessing us right now. well, He always blesses us but it looks like we are doing something good. but yeah...

aside from that, it's been a normal week. this weekend it rained a lot and so yeah, it's been fun. Saturday night we were stuck in a house till like 10 at night because it was raining so strong, and here when it rains all the taxis turn off their phones.... not quite sure why, so we got wet going home. but also with the people we found last week, it's going good. they are always there and are progressing slowly but progressing... little by little. and so yeah

but to answer some questions.... this week in the branch asistencia was low but high considering it was raining.... we had 21, so without rain we would have had 30 easy, so that's an up side... but the cool thing is if we put our part God blesses us. and so thats kind of what's happening...

also, to answer another question that was if i am homesick... or trunky.... there is a quote by Elder Holland that says that he wants missionaries to be trunky, but that they use that for more motivation... to be honest something like that but don't quote me on that.... but yeah, I'm trunky but i have been that way since the mtc... but i use it for more motivation... more than one man has been save from sin by thinking of his family...... who said that... it was a conference talk... but yeah lol...

oh, something I'm doing is reading Doctrine and Covenants from the end to the beginning... to do a countdown,,, 1 section a day till i get to section 1. it's something i learned from one of my comps... good idea.

but yeah, can't really think of anything else to write. but hey, i did get the package and.... and thanks for the peanut butter and mainly the pictures... wow, everything i see, my sobrinos, i laugh... they are all so big now... it's way funny and kind of weird.... but hey, random thought about the pictures, why are in almost all the pictures every one is looking away from the camera... it's just something i noticed... but yeah, thanks for that...

i want to say that i love you all. really know that I'm loving my time here, its hard, even more so cause I'm kind of tired and old in the mission so i become kind of prideful. but the cool thing i have learned is the love that our Heavenly Father has for us when he knocks us on our butt... my favorite story in the Bible is Peter walking on the water. mainly cause... if you know the story, he was in the boat and sees Jesus walking on water, and they are afraid, Jesus tells them not to be afraid, and pedro asks if he could go on the water and get closer to the Lord... Jesus says come.... he gets out the boat and starts walking on the water... then come wind and he doubts. and starts sinking, like always, the Savior reaches out his hand to help us. and tells Peter, man of little faith why did you doubt... God has mainly things for us to do, He is like a great artist, and has in his mind what we can become if we let him move the brush. and I'm sure none of that made any sense cause i don't make to much sense when i talk about church stuff in English but don't make any sense in Spanish either..lol... but moral of the story is progress, little by little, all our life till we become the thing the Lord has for us to become.... if you don't know what that is, talk to your local Mormon missionary...lol...

i love y'all and know that the church is God only true church...but yeah... miss y'all peace out
