Sharing some of my letter to President.

Sorry I don't write much about the work, there's just a lot to talk about. So I usually just paste what I write to the Mission president. If I can, I'll take pictures of my journal pages and put them on here so you can read about those experiences. Basically there were 2 cool things this last week

This week was super good! We are excited!

We had more street contacts than last week, and generally we were more successful. We found a family by going through the list of people in the ward. The family we found was related to the person, such as cousins, but not the family it said. 

We testified to them and then we asked "Basically what it comes down to is, Do you want more scripture that teaches and testifies about Christ?" ... The kid we were talking to turned around and walked in his house. We were confused. But he came back out and asked "Quieren pasar?" - Do you want to come in?

We had a lesson with them three. Mom, son and daughter. They began with many questions, and even had a paper with doctrinal bible bashing questions for 'The Mormons'. All of the lesson was very non-confrontational in the sense that everyone had questions, but all were for finding out and wanted to know why we have these ideas. We testified and taught of Joseph smith, and the invitation in the Book of Mormon to read and pray about it. We left 2 books and prayer, and we have another lesson with them for Thursday.

Right after that, we had a family home evening with a family-a family of an investigator and friend: (F). When we started, only the mother was at the table, and she was sad because she thought the FHE would not happen. But "no matter" Elder (S) said, and we did a hymn, prayer, and (F) showed up to the house and participated in everything. When we started the game, a recent convert, Felipe's aunt came and participated. And then, (F)'s cousin for food. We felt it was more or less, a miracle and we left with excitement and happy faces.

Elder (S) makes me laugh a lot and I'm grateful for it. Work hard and really helps to excite me for work and realize that the work can be fun all the time.

With (L) - We had a baptism date, but things happened with obstacles where he lives and concerns of Bishop-rightly so, but of (L) He worries that (L) will not attend if something happens, and lives in Santiago, then he doesn't not know the people there. Things like that. we're going to work a bit more with (L) that we are prepared for baptism, whether it happens here or Santiago.

But everything is progressing, and we like the work.

Okay. Time to go. Love ya'll.

Pray lots, be awesome. Every member a missionary.
