Hey family!!!

 

I sure love you! you are great :)

 

This week went by fast, its starting to make me a little sad haha.

 

This past Tuesday I had an exchange with a trio. it was fun but nothing turned out...haha. I remember thinking to myself what? what is going on? haha. then to make it worse, in the morning I talked to them to make sure to set the alarm for 6 so we can all have a good work out. in the morning I kinda wake my self up because I felt for some reason it has been a long night, so I look at my watch and its almost 7!!!! I get up and turn on the lights and tell them all to wake up. after talking with them I found out they both heard the alarm but went back to sleep! I was really disappointed because that was the first time I didn't wake up before 6:30....

 

We had a really good lesson this week with a lady we talked to in the street. she is from Honduras and we feel she has a lot of potential, especially because her "husband" (not married yet) was baptized back in Honduras about 16 years ago, but moved here and didn't know where to find the church and then got lost...so we are working with them both and its been really good! except they didn't come to church yesterday... oh man!

 

This really was a good week, one of the things we are still struggling with is finding our investigators regularly...its been hard. they all work so much and get paid so little...good thing with winter coming is that they won't work as much. most of our investigators now probably work over 40 hours a week and only make 20,000 a year, plus they have families and rent. I don't know how they do it. It's sad and hard to see. but one thing I have learned from that is that in order to be happy you don't have to have much and yet you can still be happy because of the gospel!!! woohoo!!!

 

On a bright note, we found a restaurant close by us that has a sweet lunch special for pupusas! $.99 for one! haha and they are really good! 

 

To answers dad's question because I keep forgetting: for june, I don't really mind anything I just don't want to finish early. I wouldn't mind flying to the airport or if you want to pick me up, either is fine! and I still need to ask president his thoughts on that idea I had! but I'll let you know!

 

Thanks for all you do! thanks for all the prayers and the love! <3 we sure are all blessed!

 

con amor,
