Hola a todos!

 So this week went by crazy fast! I'm not sure what exactly happened to the time!

 

On Tuesday night we did exchanges. So I went to another area with some Elders for the day. We ended up having to drive to Brownsville to get their car fixed and that took up most of our day. We got home and had 2 lessons before we drove back to Rio. On the other hand, Elder Allred stayed in Rio with another Elder and they found a lot of people and had some pretty good lessons!

 

On Thursday not much happened. An older lady in the branch made us a cake! We had a lesson with Carina though and she is super prepared. She made plans and backup plans to make sure she gets to church. Then we had dinner with a senior missionary couple who is also our Branch President. Then we had a movie night and watched Sorcerer’s Apprentice, but everyone left early so we never finished it. Then we started other exchanges with some Elders in Roma.

 

So all day Friday I was in Roma with the other Elders. We walked the streets for a bit in the morning and met some cool people. Then went to the store to buy stuff for their Branch activity. Later we had a lesson right before dinner and we tried to set a baptismal date. He accepted it at first saying he wanted to be baptized. In fact, he brought it up himself but then after a few minutes totally changed and had no desire to be baptized. That was sad. Then we ate dinner from a member, they bought us Little Caesars. Then we had a lesson with a guy named Jorge. We talked about baptism and he accepted a date and wants to go to church and for his family to come! So that was a huge blessing, and the spirit was soo strong! 

 

Friday night I was back again at our apartment. Saturday went well. We played some soccer with some kids. Then had some lessons and invited a ton of people to church. Also, an investigator family was cooking outside so they invited us to eat with them. There is this street where everyone on it seems to be interested and we are teaching almost all of them. 

 

Sunday Carina came to church. Sadly, no one else did. But we were super excited for her. After church we visited a few people and had some good contacts. We are hoping all the people we are teaching can progress! Because we have found a lot of families recently!

 

Well that's all I have for this week! Hope you all have a great week full of miracles! 

 

Also, I want to challenge all who read this (which at this point might just be my family) to a Facebook challenge. I'll send a picture with instructions!

 

Los quiero mucho!
