Today was not super excited, we went to the clinic in the morning, went to internet went grocery shopping then came home to go tracting. We left like 15 minutes late to go tracting which is becoming a norm but we are trying to work on that. About a half hour later we arrived to our appointment (we have to walk everywhere). But they were about to leave to a devotional in the Stake Center so we didn't teach them but we ́ll come back tomorrow to visit them. After that we went contacting and passing by less actives and old contacts of ours to see if there is anyone with an interest in learning about Jesus Christ and his true teachings of the Gospel. But not really anyone wanted to talk so we walked and walked and walked.... but tonight we didn't have any luck sadly this last week has been pretty hard but I know it'll look up.
I am thankful for this opportunity that I have to be a missionary of Jesus Christ and his true Church on this earth, I'm not perfect but i know and hope to grow a greater testimony of these great truths and teachings.

Today it rained a lot! It's still raining right now and it just dumping haha. Well we started off the day by waking up at 6:30 and doing our comp switch cause we had a split yesterday. we switched and then we were running around the center until about 8:30 or so. Then we had a meeting in the stake center at 10:00 so we hurried and showered, ate breakfast and ran out the door. We got to the church a couple minutes early and there was no one there.... so we called and the other Elders told us that it was moved to Friday but no one let us know haha so we went home and did our planning and studying then went to lunch.
In the afternoon we went to a visit that was a contact but it was just her and her friend there so we went to go look for a guy to accompany us in the visit. There's some members that live in the same block, but when we came back like 5-10 min later her kid told us that she just left and won't be back for like 2 months. Me and my comp just tried not to laugh right there haha. so we left to go talk and meet some neighbors and find some people to teach. The first house that we talked to the lady told us to come in, but we asked her if we could talk on the front patio. She began to tell us that for the first time in the ten years that she has lived there the missionaries finally talked to her she was just excited to finally know who we are or at least from what church we are from. but we are excited to teach her and her kids about the Plan of Salvation, her husband passed away 6 years ago, and help them to receive the hope and light that is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her name is Camila and she has 3 kids and she's a teacher and school starts this next Monday, so when she starts work again it will be hard to meet with her. We will see what blessings the Lord brings to them for the faith that they exercise.
We then went to visit the 16 year old girl that we are teaching and we were able to help her understand the importance of Faith in Jesus Christ, Repentance, Baptism, The Gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the End. She was able to commit to a baptismal date in March and we are super excited to help her to be Progress in the Gospel of Jesus Christ by making covenants with God by his Priesthood power and by the ordinance of baptism. She has been progressing so much and we are so proud!
After we went to the church to have an interview with some of the other people that the other missionaries have been teaching. We cleaned up the Chapel while we were waiting and then me and my comp went to buy a few things for dinner and now we are home. Love you all look for the blessings that God has given you not not for the ones that belong to others.

Well we made it to march, what in the world!!
haha yah so today was just a normal day walking and teaching, but it was actually pretty cool today the weather was cloudy overcast so it was like only 80 degrees. But we went to visit the one family that we are teaching Willy and Santiago and we ended up finishing teaching God's plan for us (The Plan of Salvation) and helped him receive answers to his questions and we extended a baptismal date to him for the end of March and he told that he has to think about it but we are very excited for him to pray and receive an answer to his pray about his baptism. This has been an amazing journey I met him when he didn't want anything not even listen. But then everything changed he really prayed and had true intent to receive an answer and he was truly blessed and began to change and look for what he needs in life. He is now asking about baptism and about the ordinances in the temple )well I should say too that his wife is a member of the church and it has truly been an interesting experience listening to all of his close friends and neighbors tell us that he now doesn't want to drink and party like he did and tells them now that he is a brother now and he doesn't do that. What joy brings the true principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our lives.
Also in these week we found a person that was our moto-taxi driver and gave us a ride twice that night and we felt like we should talk with him and ask him if he would like us to visit him in his home and he told us he would love that. As we visited him two days later he told us that he has anticipated us to visit him in his house and then we learned shortly after that his brother had passed away just shortly 3 weeks ago, and he is really happy to have us visit and help him to learn about Jesus Christ. It has been a very edifying experience to Meet Hermano Francisco and to see how he has immediately seen the blessing of the knowledge of God's Plan for us and where we go after death here on earth.
