Just Another Week

This week was pretty normal. We just worked hard and found lots of people to teach.  We have been working really hard and we found a couple. They are soo cool.  Their names are Juan Jose and Ericka and they are super nice.  Juan Jose told me he wants to change his life and live all the commandments of God.  They even went to church last Sunday and they are doing really well.  The only problem is that they aren´t married, but they have a goal to get married by the end of May.  So even though I probably won´t be here, I think that they will get married and be baptized, and that is going to be the first couple that I actually help them decide to get married.  

Because there were transfers, I got to see 2 Elders from the past, Elder Retuta my companion after my trainer in Copiapo, and Elder McKinlay my district leader from Mejillones.  It was awesome to get to see them again. I really wish I would have had more time to talk to them.  That´s ok. I´m sure I will get to see them sometime again.  

One of my converts who hadn´t been going to church in awhile came again, and even brought her cousin Hector with her.  That was a miracle and I know now that we are going to be able to teach him and help her build her testimony again.  I love all of the blessings the Lord gives to me. Sometimes it may be hard to see them especially when we are passing difficult times.  He is always with us and he wants to bless us, we just have to be patient.

 How are my investigators doing? They are doing well, we have two little girls that  are 9 and 11 and they both want to get baptized but their parents say they are too young.
