Finding...

These past two weeks have been full of miracles! The focus of the mission this month is finding more people to teach. My companion and I decided to start working more with the list of members, looking for part member families, and referrals from the members.  We have a list of like 800 members but only about 170 consistently go to church. With the list we've been able to find quite a few new people to teach that can progress quickly.

Ricardo: He's a 16 year old young man that his mom goes every week to church, we started visiting him and he says the only reason he hasn't gotten baptized is because he hasn't received an answer.  So we have been working with him so that he can receive that answer.

Tranquilino: First off, Tranquilino is a ridiculous name but he's a funny guy hahaha. He is the grandpa of a super active member and he's like 91 but he is still strong and active.  He just moved into the house of his daughter and has already gone twice to church. He likes the church, his only problem is alcohol... but he told his grandson that he was going to stop drinking!! However, when we asked him if it was true he said, yeah! I just don't know where they sell it here! hahaha. But it's something!

This week we also did divisions. I went with Elder Hurren from South Carolina and we basically spent the whole day knocking doors.... but it was a good time.   Elder Hurren just finished his training but I felt like I was with an experienced missionary so we had fun. Besides that it was a pretty normal week! The funniest part was that a few cows got loose and were walking around town and the people didn't even pay attention to them like it was a normal occurrence. HAPPY DECEMBER AND ENJOY THE COLD!!!!!!
