This week has been going great but stressful at the same time. I found out that my area is really big this week. From my room i have to take a car for 20 minutes to get to one of my investigators and everything on the way there is my area.

This week I have been working really hard trying to find new people.

What i have been working this week is being virtuous and being focused. Its a little hard and different cause I've never had a companion having difficulties getting up in the morning. Something that has helped me this week that one of the assistants told me is that God put you with him to test your obedience and your loyalty to God and that made me think a lot.

This statement is really true. I should learn the good things that he brings to the table and learn from the bad things too but to not do them. This has helped me a lot at this time of my mission. I am trying really hard to be an example to my companion and to show him that being obedient pays off.

This week has been awesome. When I got to this area there was literally no one that was progressing. The last to missionaries didn't really do anything. This week we have some investigators that are progressing. We rescued a family this week which is really awesome and we are rescuing another family next week. This area is all about rescuing people that have lost their way.´

We don't really have members in our area but we are going to press forward and work hard. I'm not sure what is going to happen this week but something that i learned in my personal studies is that Faith is putting your trust in the Lord that everything will work out fine. I learned it in Preach My gospel. If we don't trust in the Lord then we don't have faith at all.

I love you guys and I love my new zone its awesome and way different then my old one. I'm appreciating everything I have at home a lot more and I am so grateful to have you guys always their supporting me.

Ill talk to you next week
