Whaaaaat week 70? Tu é doido! Wow what a quick week! Sorry I didn't
write yesterday, it was a holiday here and almost the entire city was shut down
which meant that there weren't any lan houses open to do emails, but today
everything is open again so we are in to write emails real quick and to send in
numbers and stuff. So yeah this week went by really fast, cause we had our zone
conference here, and so the neighboring zone which is in the city of Dourados
also came here and we had our zone conference, it was really good and we learned
alot of things and we learned about the importance teaching more about
repentance and helping people to have the desire to repent and to be baptized I
thought it was really neat and me and Elder Piñon have already started applying
what we learned and we have already seen a difference in our investigators and
in our lessons. The conference was on Friday and on Thursday the assistants
arrived early with the President and Sister Reber, so we did and unexpected
division with them in our area which was actually pretty good and we found some
new investigators. Then we ate a hamburgers that night together and we had a good
time, we had a bunch of stuff to do to help prepare for the conference, they
kinda just threw it all on us the last minute, but we got everything taken care
of and everything went smoothly. I'm glad to know that even in the little things
like preparing for a conference Heavenly Father always has his eye on us and
helps us even in the littlest of things. We also had our zone meeting during the
conference where we did our zone training that also went well and I was grateful
for that. We have been looking for new people to teach and baptize this week
which is tough, but we found some cool people and so hopefully this week we will
be able to help them and I hope they will progress, thank you for always praying
and thinking about our investigators, I know that The Lord hears your prayers.
So our house has been giving us problems, there is a wall full of water and the
house is super small, there is no room to study, and know room to study or hang
clothes, and it always has mold growing, the house just blows, so President came
and gave us permission to find another house and move out, hopefully that will
work out. I forgot to mention that when it rains alot water come into our house,
and so yesterday it rained like crazy and what do you know half of our house got
flooded, so we spent forever yesterday getting water out of our house, the owner
is in the stake presidency so we will need to talk to him and get this house
taken care of, because I don't want to stay in our house any longer. But whatever
at least we have a house to live in. Its been cooling down quite a bit I have
been using my sweater quite a bit I'm using it right now, its been rainy as well
it rained all last night and its still has alot of overcast, I'm not complaining
though, most of my mission up until now I have been out in the 100 degree sun,
I will take this weather any day. So Happy Easter again It sounds like it was
good for you guys, it was cool here as well, we got a huge chocolate egg from
our recent convert Gabrielys family, they are really generous to us and our
always offering us dinner or lunch and stuff, they really like us. Our Bishop
gave a really nice talk on Sunday that reminded me of the love that The Savior
has for us, indeed I am grateful for the life and resurrection of the Savior, I
know he loves us, and I know he lives, because I have felt His sweet spirit, I
know He always watches over us. I am forever grateful to be a member of His
church. And I know its true. This work is hard but it is worth it, we have good
days and not so good days, but I know that I will look back at these 2 years and
they will be memories of joy and happiness, I hope the Lord will give me the
opportunity to work in his vineyard again, after the mission and maybe after
this mortal life. But I know this work is good, and that it is true. The Savior
is our Master, our Captain and Chief. As members of His church we follow Him. I
know that He cares about us. I don't really have much more to write but thanks so
much for the emails and letters and love and thoughts and prayers, I love you
all so much! Have an awesome week!
