I've been working really hard with my companion to get new investigators and trying everyday to give 110 percent. I have quite a few stories i could share with you guys. This week we have a baptism on Saturday and its for a 9 year old boy that hasn't been baptized but we have been teaching him diligently and he has accepted to get baptized. His name is Brian. We told him that he was an example to us and to everyone. He will be making a covenant with God and he is really happy. I have seen how his testimony has grown. Also my testimony on prayer has grown. We were having some hard times this week finding new people but we said a prayer to be guided by the spirit and we found like 4 families. We have some great investigators that are listening to us and accepting the commitments.

My testimony on fasting has also grown immensely. Last fast Sunday we fasted for one of our investigators and the problems he is having with his family.  Now all he needs to do is repent and he will be able to be baptized on the 25 of this month. His name is Max. We are going to a member's house today to watch general conference with him.

My mission will help me appreciate the many things that i have and how much I miss them.  I'm loving the food. Here they say Bacan and chevere which means cool. I'm also learning how to whistle hard from my companion and other cool stuff with my hands and how to flick rocks while we are walking so much.

Its awesome having the opportunity to go into people's houses and preaching the Gospel to them. The people here are so humble but the area that I'm now they are kind rich. Half our zone is rich and half not so much. I love having the opportunity to bring the spirit into there home. Also I've been telling people the story you told me when missionaries knocked on your door. That story when Abi leaves the missionaries outside in the rain has made other families realize that we are here to help them not change there religion. I have been contacting like crazy and I think my feet have never been so tired in my life but its awesome. My shoes every day are all dirty with dirt and dust. When i finally make it to my bed I say all my prayers and go to sleep so fast. Ive never gone to sleep so fast in my life haha. I have to go but know that we have 4 people getting ready to be baptized by ELDER PARRA your son which will change their lives for ever.QUE SIGA LA OBRA MISIONAL. One more thing my companion is helping me so that i am always positive no matter what situation. He is helping me to not get frustrated.
