TRIALS AND FAITH




This week was much better. We put a lot of baptismal dates and found lots of new people, but I still feel like Im doing all the work, and no one came to church yesterday... :( oh well... Sometimes the Lord just tries our faith. Ether 12. We dont receive miracles until after the trial of our faith. But everything is going good. I gave my companion more times to talk. Sometimes he just doesn't want to. I remember my first couple months I was like him. Quiet, I would zone out because I just wouldn't understand what was going on, and I didnt know what to say. But my companion will get there quick. He is learning and sometimes I look to him in the lesson to talk and he just gets this scared look on his face. haha. He gave his first blessing ever this week and he was shaking and nervous and his Spanish wasnt that great but it was a good blessing. We found a little girl thats 15 years old who is the daughter of a less active and we asked her if she wants to listen to us. She said shes learning with the Jehovah Witness but she would love to hear about our beliefs as well. haha. She totally looks like a Jehovah Witness. hahaha. But we will help take her out of apostasy ;P Well I miss you guys and love you!! Everything is going well here. Yes I got the money. Thank you so much!!! Have a great week!

NEWS FROM THE MISSION!!

Hey guys! Well this week has been alright. Its super hot here. The weather is a little bipolar... Its super hot and then it will rain and get super humid and then it will go back to being just hot and then rain again. Yesterday I was sitting at night not doing anything and I was already sweating.... So yeah... haha. Its hotter in the houses than it is outside. The mission this week has a goal of finding 50 new people to teach. So we will be focusing on contacting and finding the news. We had a few people that were going to get baptized at the end of this month, but they didnt come to church yesterday so they wont have the right amount of attendances to get baptized. So we have to wait for an extra week, and hopefully they will come this sunday. Elder Burnham is learning spanish quickly. Hes learning spanish and learnign what to say and teach. We are having fun!! Well I miss you guys and love you!! Tell Emma hi for me and that I miss her and love her. Give her a big hug and kiss for me!! Love you guys!!!!!!
