August 29th

Well another what was it 5 days passes by. It does seem like it was a
week though. E. Moreno and I have been working really hard lately, but
things dont seem to be going the way we want. We will continue to work
hard and we will see some success. We are teaching a lot of families
which is awesome cause you can see them changing there lives and the
atmosphere of the house changing. We have been struggling with finding
new people so we have been talking to a lot of new people looking for
the chosen people that have been prepared by the lord. There are a lot
of great people in this area. It is just getting them to church and
getting them to realize the importance of this message.

We also have an older guy that we are teaching named Federico but his
nick name is Espinal which means spike. It is a perfect name for him.
He is a very funny guy and very upfront with people. He has a great
desire to follow Christ and we are helping him learn about the true
church. He already says that he is a member and loves going to the
church. The other day we were teaching him and somebody walked by with
a megaphone preaching, which is normal in this country yes, but he
told us that we as mormons need to repent. So espinal said. Callase su
boca! Callase su boca! Which means shut your mouth. Then he was about
to go chase him down but the guy left. He is such a funny guy. He
always says funny stuff to us.

Today we went to eat at a Mexican place so that E. Moreno could eat
something good, and it was really good, just was a little expensive so
we have to be carefull with our money for a little bit.

I had to give a talk yesterday in the branch. I did alright I think
people can actually understand me good now over a microphone so that
is nice.

Well I hope that everything is going well for all of you. I pray for
your well being spiritually and physically daily and hope that we all
will be diligent in following Our Lord Jesucristo. love you all so
much.

Con Amor,
