Hey family! This past week we did a bunch of contacting. We got in a lot of doors but unfortunatley none of them really want to progress. There are a lot of people that like hearing the message but when we invite them to keeping committments, thats where it ends. But, we were able to testify and teach of Christ and his Gospel so we feel amazing anytime that we are able to do that.

Constanza was confirmed yesterday and her mom came to the confirmation. Also, Soledad came back early from the country where her parents live, with Felipe, to be able to go to church! Felipe passed the sacrament for the first time and did a great job.

The sister, Hermana Yenny, who does our laundry has two grandsons that are 5 and 7 and they love to be apart of helping in the church. So, yesterday it was my turn to stand by the door as the sacrament was passed and both of them came by the door and stood there next to me to help me guard the door! They are awesome helpers.

My companion, Elder Jack, is a really good missionary. He speaks spanish really well because he studied all through high school so I ask him questions every once in awhile. He has 10 months in the mission and he is really willing to learn and is really suppportive. He is from Colorado and he comes from a really solid LDS family.

Thats about it for the week! I love what Im doing and I was talking with my companion that right now in the mission field we are trying to find those people that we promised in the life before to find! That brings in a whole different perspective and gets me excited! Love yall!
