Some bad news is that I lost my camera. Im pretty sure It fell out of my backpack somewhere here in centro last Monday. My memory card was in there too with 600+ pictures so all we have now are the pictures that I have sent home. Oh well, they were the most important!
This past week we found tons of people! We really havent changed how we work too much but one thing that we did a lot better is inviting people to baptism in the first lesson. We have put a lot of baptismal dates and I´m pretty sure the Lord blesses us with people because he sees our desire. When I got here to the mission, there was a huge focus on teaching the Atonement (the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and his ressurection) and baptism the first lesson. Now, we do whatever we need to do for the needs of the people obviously so I personally love teaching of the Restoration of the Gospel. It really is our unique message so the Spirit is so strong when we teach it.
The branch here is struggling a little bit because the Elders qourum president, a returned missionary named Arturo, is going to go live where he studies. He has to come back every weekend travling anyway so it makes sense but there is barely any priesthood! The President is really good but he has two councelors that have problems of their own in the home and are a little older so the President has to do a lot himself. So, we have to reactivate, baptize, and do our part as priesthood holders.
I love yall! I hope yall are doing good!
