Dear All!

The rest of last
Monday was fun; we went to this free museum in Baler and took a ton of
pictures. That was pretty legit!

Tuesday we did a little bit of
finding, as a lot of our investigators are just not progressing. Wednesday we
went back to that family we found and taught them Lesson 1. They're SO
receptive, but their mom is just like never around...And we found out our one
investigator, Marivel's real concern. It’s not a testimony issue as it is so
much a commitment issue. Oh yeah, on Tuesday night, we got caught in
a rainstorm and there were no more trikes heading back to town at night so we
walked a while in the rain. Well, little did we know that our investigator,
Sister Centeno, who had turned us away earlier that day because they had
somewhere to go, saw us and was actually touched by our dedication or whatnot.
She told us all about this on Thursday in our lesson, and expressed a
real desire to get baptized. It was a really spiritual lesson!
We also started
teaching Marcos's family on Thursday, and hopefully they will be receptive
as well! We're having a family home evening with them later on. We reviewed the
interview questions with Marcos as well, as his interview was on Saturday. Friday we
had exchanges in a tougher area in the zone, San Luis. I worked there, and we
had a good day of work! And I think I was able to help Elder Escosio as well. I
hope so anyway...
Saturday was a
crazy day. I went from San Luis to Baler for zone interviews, then back to Maria
as President Clark did a house check (I love that guy by the way, I feel so
comfortable with him), then I went to lunch with the Assistants as they were
also there for interviews, then we went to our area with Elder Hedman to interview
Marcos for his interview (he passed!) then we went back to Baler for District
Missionary Coordination with President Clark and the district presidency and
the various branch presidents. Then we went home, and it was a downpour, and we
got out to work at 6:30. It was a long, wet, tiring day!
Sunday was
hard. It's our town's fiesta right now, so basically no one came to church. No
investigators, no less actives...man. Our attendance was around 45...big drop.
We were pretty punted as well on Sunday...it was just a hard day. But
today we've actually been able to enjoy the fiesta, parades, cheap stuff they're
selling...so yeah! That’s all for now really!

Just keep going,
because our light affliction now works us for our eternal weight of glory!
