Hola everyone! What's up? How is everyone. I just got done playing Uno with our district so I'm pretty happy. This week was a great week for us. In fact, I don't know if I have had a week quite like what we had. All of our investigators recieved answers or felt good about these things and they all accepted baptismal dates. We have 13 in total that accepted and that are excited to progress and to learn more. We couldn't be happier right now! I honestly could not believe the week we had. Everyone just wanted to accept baptism so we are going to be doing everything we can in the coming weeks to help each and every one progress. This week we did not have even one second to rest. We also found two more less actives that are progressing, so we are super happy about that. This week we had a training with the president, and it was super good. I love the trainings. We had a lot of success this week but one family we had been working with stopped listening to us. We got to their house and they just said thanks for everything but leave because we are done. That would probably be the worst part of the week. Other than that it was really good. My companion and I are getting along really well, and we are working super hard. On a more spritual note, Matt gave me a painting some years ago of missionaries that are going up a hill that never ends and there is scripture that says. "Be patient in thy afflictions, for thou shalt have many, but endure them, for, lo, I am with thee even unto the end of thy days." This has proved true throughout my whole life and once again it has been proved true. Its been a hard three months here in Pisuli, but the success is starting to come and I can really say I was never alone. I've been able to grow and become a better missionary throughout this time and I love this scripture. The painting sits on on my table, so I have seen it everyday in my mission, and it's helped me out a lot. I really do know these things are true and that Christ lives and loves us and only wants what is best for us. I hope everyone can continue reading the B of M and attending church because these are things too important to put off. I love this work and I love this mission. I love you guys and I look forward to talking to you next week.
