Loving the mission!

how was your week? mine was pretty good. there is a crazy holiday here called carnival so there is just lots of parties and drunks lately but other then that its good. haha. the other night there was a huge party in front of our house haha. i loved it. haha NOT. but ya, the road was closed and there was a big stage and music and lots of drunks like literaly in front of our house. its a good thing im so dang tired at night i was out like a dead boy haha. the music didnt even keep me up!!! so we got some good investigators. were teaching a less active and helping her marry the guy she lives with, she is also pregnant. so we got all the wedding plans done. her husband isnt to interested in the gospel yet, but you can bet by the time were done with him he will be. well with lots of the Lords help of course. after all we are just tools in his hands!!! some of the other converts we had. Raquel and Rodrigo and Rogerio and Ana. well a little more info about there family. Raquel is 17, annies age and has a little baby, prob 6-9 months and she wasnt living at her house cause she didnt get along with her step dad but she lived with less active members. but since we have been teaching her and her family and helping her stepdad stop drinking there house has been a total movement! like its just a tiny little wooden house but they have hung like sheets up to make the walls look prettier and we gave them pics for the enisigns and stuff and raquel even moved back into there house. its amazing to see how huge of a differance there house and family is now. it makes me sooo happy to see them like this. we marked a family night with them and raquel with give the lesson!!! we are also teaching a man with about 30 years prob and he stopped us in the road asking for a card so he could call and get a free DVD. we were like well just give us your addy and we will be happy to pass by and so he did. well long story short we went and for a couple of weeks he was hard to find but this last week we have found him lots more and his wife left him about 5 months ago and she only lets him see there daughter on weekends and so he was like way depressed the other day and got drunk we we just remarked with him and went back and he was just way sad the next day so we taught the 3rd and focused on repentance and baptism and he accepted to prepare to be baptised. we talked about enos´s prayer to be forgive for his sins and marked it for him to read then we left. the next day went back and he was just way happier said he read and prayed and he is just progressing great. i pray that he continues with desejo and that he is baptised. the gospel can really help his life!!! yesterday we did a serive project and painted a school. well we didnt finish, we will go back friday to paint more. but i got totally trunky painting. it reminded me or our remodle on our house haha. i was like man i would totally be waiting for a 10 pack from fiesta ole right about now but instead i got a fried egg with rice haha. it was good to i guess. haha. but ya that is about my week. all is going good. this morning i got to play some more soccer alos got a letter from jatauna and tyler bates!!! i got a christmas package form wayde and mellissa, it was funny, inside they joked and said sorry its late, it will prob be a V-Day package and they put hearts on it. well come to find out i get it two days after V-Day.
i have loved the mission. its soo amazing. like so amazing in a weird way. its way hard on the body and the mind. like see and deal with soo much messed up stuff but its all good for a growing expeirience!!! it is by far the hardest thing ive ever done but also the best time. its just hard to explain but im loving it.
well love you!!
