Great Week

Hola I do not have a ton of time!  

However this week has been great!  My Spanish is coming along, thanks to the wonderful pacience of my companion Elder Strate!  So first of this week was great overall we found some new people to teach!

We also had a cool exprience.  Because my companion is a District Leader we were going to go to Puerto Cynes for a division, but the bus was full so we couldn`t and we are going tomorrow. However that day we felt like we should go visit a Part Member Family.  We arrived and they gave us once.  We had crapes with manhar.  It was great but most importantly we were going to teach them the Plan of Salvation, but Elder Strate felt we should read 3 Nephi chapter 11 with them, so we did.  It was great and the Spirit was strong!  We think the will progress.  

Then we visited a inactive family and watched a mormon message.  It was great!  They came to church, and during Gospel Principales we talked about Temple Marriage, and they shortly after had a hour long interview with the President!  They are going to progress!  

Then Yesterday we had a new investigator family and they seemed interested!  

It was an awesome week!  

I  have started to feel at peace during teaching it is awesome!  Just remeber God Loves you!

Hola pictures

Hey Everyone!  Sorry last week my email was really short!  Last monday was a holliday when nobody works, so we were really lucky to find a ciber that works!  That made it so much fun though!

Last Saturday we held a activity, we made some popcorn and treats and played Meet the Mormons!  it was awesome!  We had a investigator come, and she really liked the video.  We also got a referance and a possible new investigator!  It was a good turn out!  This week we spent a lot of time knocking doors and trying to find more people to teach!  It was good!  We walk a lot during the day we estimate we on average walk around 6 to 10 miles a day!  It is a riot!

I also had the opportunity to do a inter cambio with the Zone Leaders!  It was good, and I learned a lot!  I can teach, but at times I repeat myself or go in circles.  I have been trying to teach in a more simple yet understandable way.  Elder Peterson gave me this advice.  

When you teach, this is a way to keep it simple.

1. First teach the principle

2. Ask good questions, share a scripture, story, or example

3. Then bear simple testimony!  

It was good for me to understand how to really teach in a more simple manner.

It was funny last week a drunk guy tried to dance with me, and now we think a store owner is paying him to dance outside of his store!  He is funny guy!  We also have another drunk friend that calls us pharisies, but he is super nice!  It honestly is a blast here!  Also it is really pretty and pictures do not really come close to the beauty here.

This week has been a blast.  I love it here and I love the mission.  I also have a really good Trainer Elder Strate he is a really good teacher, and he involves me in everything so I can pick up the language more.  I am participating in more lessons, and it is a riot!  It is hard a times to focus expecially when you do not know what people are saying, but it is coming so it is all good!  I honestly have learned a lot!  I love it here!  

Hola 

This week has been great!  I haved really enjoyed it!  

I had the opportunity to watch General Coferance in english!  It was awesome!

Quick thought

I really enjoyed Elder Ucthdorf's talk about the spot light!  It was a great analogy!  I know that at times it is really hard to reallize that we have a spotlight, and often times we blag the spotlight when times are hard. But I know we can´t pull the plug or we will wander helplessly through a dark tunnel possible falling into a ditch on the side.  At times it is hard to realize that we need the light in our lifes as well, but regaurdless of how great we may feel.  Don`t blame the spotlight when we were the ones that unplugged it.  God is always there, we just have to take the courage to plug it in, and give the Lord our best effort!  I know that if we do that he will guide us!  

I really dont have a ton to talk about, however I had one really cool experiance this week after conferance we had the opportunity to teach Mateas.  He is in the millitary and is really hard to get a hold of, but his friend Abrham has been fellowshiping.  Fellowshiping is important.  He had been reading the Book of Mormon, and praying and he said that he felt really good!  We taught him the Plan of Salvation and the spirit was definitly there.  He is honestly one of those people that you just marvel at, and want to be in his position so you can feel as he does.  However he said the closing prayer and expressed gratitude for just a little bit more knowledge.  I learned a lot about humility from him.  Often times I thank God for the big times, but forget the small times when He has helped me.  It is something I strive to work more effectively at.  Other than that this week has been great!
