Nothing much this week just a baptism and an earthquake haha. It is a very interesting week-- we are so happy to have the opportunity to have a baptism this week and to be able to teach Hermano Brando. He's so great! He's been meshing well with the youth in our ward and it has been great. The earth quake was weird...it was my first earthquake haha. But I don't have much time. I will get back to you all next week!

This week is pretty boring. My comp is getting ready to go home in two weeks and he's a great missionary but we are not very diligent with our time and we have been slacking i feel. But I'm trying to get us on the right track. My companion woke me up this morning at 3;30 to ask what time it was and then after I couldn't go back to sleep we ended up playing soccer at 6 so I'm not super happy this morning.

This week like i mentioned we haven't had much, we have been meeting with some inactive members. We met with Hermano Jaime Garcia and he hasn't been to church in a while. His family was the first in our area to become members around 40 years ago and like him all of his family are inactive. We met with him earlier this week and had 2 lessons and he began to remember a part of his testimony and was crying and him and his daughter came to church yesterday. We have also been working with the mom of 2 recent converts and she is making great progress. It is super exciting and we really are excited for her to notice the blessing in her life. We also have some other investigators who are not keeping their commitments and do not have interest in learning more about the gospel of Jesus Christ and mostly about applying it in their lives. It's really sad because these people hurt and they want it to stop but they lack the faith needed to do the things that will help them in an eternal perspective.

I'm really just trying to put my head down and get to work. I'm grateful to all that are writing me take care!!
