Investigators lost & found

what's up y'all,

here everything is going well, it was a good week, actually this week we lost more investigators than we got but it's all good, it's funny the big stuff that's happening here is we are actually starting to knock a couple of doors, which is good we have had a little bit of success doing it so it's been good.

but yeah, i dont really have too much to write about today, and i really can't think of anything that was out of the ordinary, it's like always we have a lot of investigators but hard to get them to go cause it's at 9:30, early for them to wake up and hard, cause only one shot to pass by them and get them to go.... but yeah we will figure it out..

yeah, me and my comp are doing good, i love it here in the mission, and am happy to be here, it's been fun and i love it so much... but i know my mom is going to be mad about how short this letter is, but I'm kind of far away.... sorry mom i promise i will write more next time...

i want to thank u to everyone and i love u all. peace out

How's life everybody?

how's life in the best place in the world?....... don't worry i will let u know... haha but all is well still in Santa Rosa, for at least 1 more transfer, so we will try to shake it up a bit... but yeah me and my comp stayed the same, just with a new zone leader but igual its all good.

As far as this last week goes, it was good, doing better, focusing, and we are getting some exito, we will see what we do with the people we are teaching... we are lucky to have a lot of good investigators, we just need to get them in water.. and i believe they can all make it there. so we have really been blessed....

as far as some questions i got, the way i teach is weird, cause i think I'm a terrible teacher, cause i zone out a ton, but so i try to teach with more examples, and stories i have heard or lived.... i was lucky cause i get along great with all the people, and my comp is a stud at teaching even though he is new, so we make a great team... but I'm getting better at teaching but i still suck, but i just try to get the spirit to teach in ways that the investigator can understand, and then the spirit will do the rest... we (me and bills) just do the best we can.... and we do it like that......

oh and by the way, i hate knocking doors, the most useless way to work here, sorry for people who liked knocking doors but here members work best, in my other areas we will see......that was to answer a question, sorry it was random.... but yeah that should answer a few questions...

as far as other things go, I'm excited for this new transfer, we got a lot of people to teach and a lot of exito to have so I'm happy....

oh, another thing about teaching, something i don't really like doing when i teach is "bajar la cana" or "drop the cane" .... it's weird for me... but that was a random thought....

as far as life here everything is great, i love it here, i think I always say that no place i would rather be than right here so I'm stocked, and i know blessings come with effort and obedience, so i could work on both a little more and that will help us get more exito.... i love u all, thanks for the love, the help, advice and everything...... peace out.

Tough week

this week pretty much sucked on all bases, the only way it could have been worse was if i got bit by a dog, or something like that.. but yeah, i guess sometimes it's like that.

this week me and my comp, elder lopez, who is really cool, and we work really hard, obey the rules, we are better missionaries, but yeah. but this week we worked so hard and got so many doors slammed in our faces, and only found 1 person who would talk to us, but then he disappeared.

and to make thing worse... yesterday we had a bautizmo, everyone showed up except the girl, katty, who was going to get baptized, and her parents didn't go because they wanted to go a party, so all of us were left hanging but. yeah...

it's kind of funny how bad this week has been for us. but that's how it is, only motivates us more cause we don't really like failure, and so yeah this week we are going to find gold. or knock every door in this city until they answer and let us in. but it was kind of funny cause we tried everything to get inside, we tried to sing, i don't blame them for closing the door on us.....hahahaha but yeah we tried everything doing some jokes, but they must have been bad ones, cause no one laughed but yeah, it will get better, we will work harder.... and next week we will have exito, a lot of exito.....

now to answer some questions i have received, yeah we obey a lot of rules, and the food we get here is almost daily, so it's really good, we are lucky to be in an area where they give us lots of food but yeah.

we also walk a ton cause the president doesn't want us taking remis but yeah also the aps lost their cars hahahaha so they need to walk like the rest of us...haha..

about all the rules that have changed, really the rules didn't change but the standards did. like before we needed 14 new investigators now we only need 6 but the six pretty much only count if they are of gold, but it's good cause we were averaging like 3000 new investigators a month but only 75 bautizmos which is really7 bad ratio. but yeah so that's what has changed more than anything, and all the p-day stuff that i mentioned before.

the mission president is really great, i like him and i think the changes are necessary, and the p-day stuff, if he thinks that's what's best i stand by him.

but yeah so that's been my life this week. work hard, no success and all that but yeah it's all good...it will come in the Lord's time...

alright i want to say i love u all and thanks for everything, happy birthday miguel, and anyone elses b-day that is this week, and yeah peace out
