April

No group email but lots of information in his letter to his mom!

Dear Mom,
We did not get to watch general conference in English.... but I actually understood most of it! It is a lot harder to understand though because they use big words and all the translators talk differently, with different accents, so it was interesting!   It was a super awesome experience to watch conference in the field, we didn't quite achieve our goals this week but conference was totally worth it!

The squad of members that go on splits with us!

As for the wards I cover, we have Barrio Tecnológico, Uribe, and 5 de Mayo. As for the sacrament meetings, they all are in different chapels and at the same time, so we do divisions. One goes to Uribe and the other stays in Technologico, we haven't been able to go over and work in 5 de mayo yet, but we are planning on going tomorrow with the ward leader (they don't have a Bishop right now... just someone in charge... so we shall see tomorrow).

Our Zone!

As for our area, it's going pretty well! We put 7 baptismal dates for April these past two weeks which was awesome. They're two families of 3 and one 19 year old boy (Luis). The two families Élder Kirkham and his last companion found and were teaching, and Luis we found contacting. However only one of the families came to church this week... the Vazquez family, a mom and two daughters (14 and 13 years old).  They're way awesome and have a baptismal date for the 21st! The Rullan family has three kids: 14,12, and 10.  They've been coming to church for a while and have an older brother that's a member and wants to serve a mission. They haven't been able to be baptized cause they haven't been reading the Book of Mormon... but they did this week and they passed their baptismal interview and are going to be baptized this Saturday. They are very fun and were actually born in Utah! The 14 year old got sick this week though so none of them came to church.  As for Luis, we don't know what happened... but he is a cool kid and I'm sure he's got a good reason for not coming.  Those are our progressing investigators! We're super excited, especially since we just got two references this week that look promising too! So yeah we are doing great! 

All is good here! We're having fun and working hard! Love you and miss you! Élder Gurney
