Well a pretty chill week, we lost about 2 days of work because we had to travel to the big city a few hours for our zone conference, but still a good week! So brissa passed her baptism interview, but she felt like she needed another week for her baptism, so this saturday super sure she´ll get baptized! So these last 2 weeks we had found a ton of good people and put a few baptism dates but all of those people we found just like disappeared from the planet hahaha. But we had a few other people that we are preparing to be baptized in these next few weeks. So thursday we were coming from the zone conference and we got home at 7 at night and the ride is supper curvy, and we got home and i was feeling super bad, my head and stomach were hurting pretty bad, but we left to go work those last 2 hours anyways, and the appointments we had, had all fallen, so it was like 8:45 at night and I was just exhausted and wanted to go home, but then a phrase of Elder Holland came into my mind. ¨It was never easy for Him¨ How could it be easy for you? Missionary isn´t easy, but its the most satisfactory work in the world. So after that experience, we felt the impression to go pass by the house of an investigator, and we knocked and  he wasn´t there haha. But his older came out, and we were able to teach him, and he turned into a really investigator! So that was a pretty cool experience this week. Well thats about it, Love ya fam!

Sup well my and my comp found a menos active family 3 weeks ago, and their 2 kids werent members, and they wanted to get baptized, and about a year ago they had a bunch of elders pass by, but their mom for some reason wasnt ready to give them permission. But we were able to teach them and well the kids were ready this time, and the mom was willing to support and she has started coming to church again! The kids are called Joselin and Aaron, they are honestly supper intelligent, so it has been pretty cool to help them enter the church and to help the family come back to activity in the church. This next saturday we have a goal for another girl to get baptized. She´s ready, but she justs want to be supper sure that this is the true church and she is going to stay in the church, so pray for her! Her name is Brisa. Well the week was pretty good, aside from the baptisms, we were able to find some other really good people that will be getting baptized soon Im sure! Well thats about it for now, everything is going good out here, we have zone conferencias this week so we have to take this minivan for 3 hours to get to the closest city, the drive is supper pretty, but dangerous haha. Welp miss and love you all!! Write me!! :)

Hey fam hows it going?? We had a pretty good week out here in the jungle. So this place is literally infested with mosquitos haha, they are really small, but they leave hugggge red swelled mark. So i look like a walking tomato right now haha. Well this week we honestly had a ton of really good lessons. So in this little city, about half the people are members, and the other half are former investigators, so the good thing is that there are a ton of part member families, and the bad thing is that they´ve already talked to the elders before haha. But we´ve been seeing the good progress with our investigators lately, so we should see some results from them soon! This week we did a pretty dope district activity. So yesterday, Sunday was the world cup and so saturday as a district we went to one of the big center plaza in the city. We all put on soccer jerseys and we put up a little goal, and people could try to score a goal and if they scored they got a brownie and then we would just start talking to them and then contact them, and we were able to talk to a few hundred people so it was dope. Well thats about it fam, keep yall updated next week alittle more!

Hey fam realllllly hope your 4th of July was better than mine. We had a really good week. We were able to find alot of people, put alot of baptism dates, and have a ton of investigators in the church. So we have a ton of people that are progressing really well, they just gotta take one more step and they will be able to get baptized, so we´ve been fasting and praying pretty hard to reach our goals we´ve put. So in this little city theres only 8 elders and 1 district leader, and the DL was the old assistent so its pretty cool to get weekly training from him. It rained alll week so that means straight mud everywhere, Don´t got much to update honestly, we are working with a lot of people to get ready for baptism the 21st of this month, so next week we will know if they will be ready! But Im really just enjoying everything about the mission now, On the mission ive learned that complaining does honestly nothing. We can´t change the past but we do shape the future. Well miss and love you all!!

So we had a pretty good week. So first of all alittle more about the city im in. Bermejo its a tiny little city right on the border of Bolivia and Argentina, theres this huge river that is the border, so if you cross the river youll be in argentina. Here almost everyone uses argentina money too. Aparrently theres a bunch of traficking too so you have to be careful. But this little city is literally surrounded by jungle. Its pretty dope, theres some parts we would have to machetes to go to. So this week our investigator Andres got baptized! He is this 76 year old man who is seriously the best, he used to be a preacher at some pentecostal church, but the elders found him, taught him and he was finally able to receive his answer, go to church, and this week get baptized. Hes awesome honestly haha. He had a date for this saturday and we went tuesday but said he wanted more time, but we were able to follow the spirit share the scripture in Acts 8 about, that man who gets baptized the same day as hearing about the gospel, and he got excited and got baptized this saturday. So that was the highlight. We found a ton of part member families this week too, so we´ll be working with them too. They have a randomly super nice basketball court here, so today we got to ball up it was pretty awesome.
