Hola everyone! This week was crazy. We worked like crazy finding more people and looking for more families to teach. We were able to find several families that have a lot of potential, but we will have to see what the future holds. Yesterday we were with familia chinchuña. We have been with them since the day I got here, and they still hadn't accepted baptism until last night. We brought a member with us that knows them really well and to say the least, he came to play. He talked to them directly and sincerely and they were really moved by what was said in the lesson, and they finally accepted baptism. I'm hopeful this month it will come to pass. This week not a whole lot happened other than this. A gigantic dog tried to eat us. I thought of the scripture in Phillipians 3:2, "Beware of Dogs." Paul was definitly feeling the spirit when he said those words. I'm not kidding though this dog is a perrazo in every form of the word. They named it Bear, and they did so with reason haha. We had a cool experience with the recent convert Marco this week. We showed a video about Joseph Smith and as the conversation got going he wanted to know how we know that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet. Well we explained that he is succesor of Joseph Smith and all that, but he still had questions. Well ladies and gentleman I'm glad I'm from Utah because I could say, "Marco, I'm from Utah. I've had the oppertunity to see these men, shake the hand of some, and even talk to some. I know that they are men chosen by God to be in their positions and that really we do have prophets and apostles today." Then he said, " Elder, I believe you. I can feel now that they are really prophets and apostles." It was a pretty powerful experience for me. But he is the man. That is really what I've got today. It was a pretty regular week. I like the scripture in Mosiah 22:2," And behold, all he requires of you is to keep his commandments, and he has promised you that if ye would keep his commandments ye should prosper in the land, and he never doth vary from that which he hath said, therefore, if ye do keep his commandments he doth bless you and prosper you." God has only asked us that we keep his commandments and if we do so, we never need to worry about the future. Trials will come but we will be just fine no matter what happens. I know this is true and I love you guys. I'll talk to ya next week.
