Dear Family and Friends,
This week we had ups and downs. The good news is we taught Pilar and Ildefonso everyday until they left. I have had more daily lessons with them than with any one else on my mission. Now they are in Mexico. I talked to them a little bit yesterday on Facebook and they say they are doing well. They are really happy to be with their kids again. Lots of families are broken up as they come here searching for better situations. It's really sad but in a couple months they will come back with their kids and hopefully they will already be baptized. We had an open house activity this past Saturday and we had thirty to forty people come. We got some of their information. One man angel stayed almost the whole time. We showed different videos on the main floor and upstairs we had little classes and downstairs snacks and other themes. Did I ever mention my building used to be a bank? There are huge safes still and everything. I'll try to get a picture soon. While we were closing up, the other elders got another man to come in and we showed him everything and we started to talk to him. He was relentless so I put the game mode on and asked him if he came to learn or to teach or what. And we read in the scriptures, he started being a lot more receptive. He left with a Book of Mormon and said he would come to church. He didn't come. But it's hard to explain everything that went down. He was just one of the people that read revelations all the time and then think they know everything. But it's fine. I read the bible a lot this week in Romans and there are so many doctrines that are easy to see if you already have the light. I then read the gospel of John in Latin comparing with the English, Spanish, and German. It really does expand your mind having all the different perspectives and seeing which phrases are different or taken out. It is a lot of fun. (Everyone should do it ). Thanks for all the birthday wishes and everything.
I love you all!
