hey mom and dad, no i didn't get your email last week. but ya sounds like you had a blast 4wheeling. this week was much better!!
my investigators.......i found an old investigator that i taught that moved and she is getting baptized in a different mission really soon!! ahh it was so awesome to see her!!!! ohhh i really could not stop smiling no matter what i did after i talked to her. and we found a mom and her son this week named Elizabeth and Felipe who are very interested. I'm actually going to teach them as soon as I'm done writing. wish me luck. we also found Arturo again and he is doing not so good, he fell back into drinking and smoking and the problem is we cant help him really cuz he is here for like 2 days and then leaves town for 20 days to work, and we set up appointments to teach him and he didn't show up to one and then he said he was going to come to church and he didn't show up so its sad but i don't know what we can do for him. changes are coming up this next Monday so i might get moved to a whole new area. well see. but ya we haven't had a whole lot of luck finding new investigators this week but we have been working a ton with families that are inactive trying to get them back to church and to get their priorities pointed back towards god. its incredible how strong some of the inactive´s testimonies are, the problem is they just forgot that they have testimonies. and most of the time they just need a reminder or a spark to start the fire again.
oh and your so right about serving, we have been doing a lot of service lately. we actually painted almost the entire house of this family the other day. haha i knew i working for Gabe would come in handy. but on top of that i have found that if I'm not getting along with my comp the best, i just serve him and then ya i literally forget about the differences we have. its amazing, but you think about it all Christ did was serve. at times i think we need to be preaching all the time and serving the community is a waste of time but i know Christ would be serving people in every way possible, the difference is he would teach who he is serving while he was providing the service.
thanks for the packages again but hey i don't know what happened with my memory card.......so if you could let me know asap what to do cuz i might just buy a new one if it comes down to it. i don't want to wait 3 or 4 weeks to get it, that's pretty much an entire change of memories and photos i wont have. but hey love you all thanks for everything, especially the prayers, tell everyone i say hi.
