September 12th
Thank you all for the happy birthday wishes i really appreciate it.
Being on the mission is a great birthday present so i am happy.
Tonight my comp is going to make me mexican hotdogs so we will see how
that is. Today we went and played football at a park with most of the
mission so that was fun it was good to play some football.
The week went by way fast we have been working really hard and things
dont seem to be going our way but Espinal was baptized so that was
good it was what we needed to boost our animo to work harder. It was a
good baptismal service except that I had to lead the music and was
the only one singing, I am a worse singer in spanish so it was pretty
bad. But I forgot to bring my chord to download pictures but next week
I will try to get some up of the baptism.
We had 2 new people in church this week which was great and we hope
that they show some promise so we will begin teaching them more this
week. but next week is stake conference the people have to pay to go
to church 50 pesos so our investigators will probably not come cause
people here dont like spending money on travel.The good thing is that
the stake center has air conditioning so that will be nice for a
change.
This week we had a 70 come talk to us Elder Cornish, and he did a
great job in helping us. He told us when we understand the doctrine
behind the reason why we do things we will be more likely to do them.
So, my comp and I have completely changed our teaching style and have
a different aproach and it is still a work in progress but it is
working. After the meeting when we were eating he had a open
discussion when we could ask whatever question we wanted and that was
way cool. He shared a lot of great scriptures about Jesucristo and the
spirit was strong. We need to always have a strong testimony of Jesus
and be greatfull for everything he did for us. Study his life and his
teachings and your love for him and others will grow.

Well, the last week of the transfer is coming up and so this time next
week i will know who my comp will be. It is going to be different
cause there arent many elders better then elder Moreno. he works hard
and knows how to teach. i learned a lot from him this transfer. Not
much is new this week we have quite a few progressing but not very
fast so i dont think that we will have any baptisms this week but it
is possible. yesterday was stake conference and there was a change in
the stake presidency so Elder Viñas from the 70 was here doing all the
changes. so it was cool to hear from a 70 this sunday. other then that
not a lot is new but we did eat at pizza hut today and it was really
good. it is like a fancy restaurant here it is way funny. people come
dressed really nice and everything, good thing we are always dressed
nice in formal clothing, there were about 16 missionaries there
eating.
Well i dont have a lot of time but i encourage all of you to be
diligent in studying the scriptures and diligent in all that you do.
the ensign of october about the BOM is great. i would recomend
studying it and your testimony will grow of the power of the book.
love you all and hope everyone is well.
