Well things are going well with my new comp Elder Correa. He is a great elder and really knows how to teach. He worked in the office and was a zone leader right before he came here. He has 3 transfers left so I think that he will finish his mission here. We are still getting used to teaching styles but I have already learned a lot from him. He knows perfect english which is nice and he is helping me a lot with my spanish. My spanish is getting better. I surprise myself sometimes on how much I know but really that is just the Lord helping me out. I still study hard and still have a ways to go before I am fluent but things are definetely getting better.
We have a few good investigators and we are hoping that they will progress. Yon Carlos is ready to be baptized but he doesnt know it. He knows the church is true and that it is the right thing to do but he doesnt think he is prepared yet. We are helping him get prepared and hopefully he can be baptized this weekend.
Then gabriel the 17 year old is doing good he wants to be baptized and so we will wait until he is 18 on the first of june then he will be baptized. Or if we can get his mom to go to church and get her wanting to be baptized we can do it earlier. He is already fitting in with the ward and likes to go to the activities and really enjoys church. His mom is still sick with the flu and we are trying to help her get feeling better so she can go to church but you never know how she is going to be doing.
We are also teaching Yoni and Kelvin. they are a father and son and are great people. Kelvin wants to change his life and has really been enjoying church and our visits. he has a sincere desire to change his life and you can see a change in him already. Yoni has a different view on religion and believes that he can be saved only on faith. But faith without works is dead. So we are working with them a lot.
Wendi is still progressing and he is pretty much stopped smoking which is great. Now we are just working on tring to strengthen his testimony of the Book of Mormon and the gospel. His wife isnt completely supportive which makes it hard. We are still working with a lot of new people and are really trying to get people to come to church. once they come to church they can understand what we teach a lot more and are more receptive to the gospel.
Things here have been good though. It rained a couple times last week and when it rains here it really rains, we had to go inside a colmado for about 20 min untill it stopped. The streets were flooded for about an hour after too. It is still really hot during the day and cool at night. I dont have much time today so that is about it. I posted a few pictures of our apartment and stuff hope you enjoy.
Always have an eternal prospect on life and you will be more likely to make the right choices. Everything we do has an eternal consequence whether it be good or bad. we need to always remember the sacrifice that Jesus made for us especially during this Easter time. Love you all and pray for you all.
con amor
Here are some more pics of his apartment and surrounding area. Needless to say, they are messy Elders!
