This week we went to take an investigator to her baptism interveiw and she has a ton of problems wiht drugs and those sorts of things haha we went to her house to get her and no one was home. Her friend said that she left to the market and wont be back for awhile. We decided to look even though the market is so crowded! And it was Halloween so everyone was in the streets! I said a prayer in my heart and had faith we would ifnd her. We turned the corner and there she was! a couple cuadras up! We took her to her innterview even though we think she was pretty high haha we took her in taxi and she was singing a ton and we didnt know what to do but she went and now we know where exactly she is at!
I dont have like anytime this week but i want you to all know how much i love you and how much god loves you. TRUST in him. Hold to the iron rod and if you fall in the river swim as hard as you can dry yourself off and get back on the path to eternal life.
LOVE YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH!
Mom!
Yes this week was better in some aspects! We were able to find alot of new familys this week. we have 12 new investigators and 7 of them are of a famliy. I am learning so much from my mission. Yes we do have to move haha Parra didnt want to move this week because he wont be here so he doesent want to have to deal with it but now me and my new comp will have to figure things out in the next 2 days haha super fun! We find out tomorrow who leaves and who stays! Time really is flying by mom! I cant belive i have 4 months! Im officaily done with training and a real missionary haha I have been feeling the spirit alot more lately trying to do things the lords way instead of my way!
Would you be mad if i told you I knew about Kendras plan like 5 weeks ago? haha im sooooo excited for her and she is literally gonna kill it out there! We will be coming home around the same time! COOL! so sad to hear about the dillmans.. They are really an amazing family! And she saved 8 lives wow!!
Yesterday something weird happend haha...
I looked myself in the mirror and i like didnt reckognize myself. I thought about my hole life and what ive been doing these past months and immedietly the scripture Matthew 16:24-26 came to my mind. And i has a thought that im starting to lose myself. ha it kinds freaked me out but at the same time i know that im about to find myself. who i really am. what i can really do. and im excited for that part. I feel like ive just begun losing myself and still have alot more to lose but im excited to see what the Lord will make of me!

DAD! Thank you so much for the updates! Mom told me about the dillmans and its really hard to belive. they are a truly amazing family and i cant imagine being there with her when she got the news. that is so hard to handle but thanks to our El plan de nuestro padre celetstal we dont have to worry and we can handle evey moment the same! We find out tonight if there are transfers but its looking like im staying and parra is going. im gonna miss hime but i think its time to change. This week has been great with finding new people but its so hard to get them to progress. its about like this in the sector where im at. We can knock 45 doors and probly get let in 8 of them. of those 8 we will probly be able to return to 3. of those three maybe 1 will attend church. of that one he or she will not get baptized. hahaha every one was tru but the last one haha but honestly its so hard in this sector where im at and im just searching to find answers why. I bleive i have found that we have been trying to do everything on our own and not with the help of padre celestial. We having been looking to him only to excuses. I hope we can change it around! I know we can!
That makes me so sad to hear about Hunter and Colton. If i was there I would be so freakin frustrated with them. Especially now! haha im definetly gona send an email this week!
Time really is moving along but i have completely ruled out time over the past couple of weeks. i know me falta mucho tiempo en la mision so why should i worry about it? I want to worry about the work, not me. Im starting to change alot but still have a long way to go. thank you for everything dad! LOVE YOU!
Im getting back on around 4 oclock your time if you can write back and forth!! :)

Thank you dad that helps alot! I have realized that i need to do that more and just give my al and let god do the rest! I feel like im working harder each day and it really does feel good. Things are slowly improving!!
You're doing great. Don't get frustrated. Satan loves frustration. Frustration = bad attitude, getting up a little later, contacting a few less people, staying a little long at a member's home, wasting a little time here or there, etc. Just do what you are supposed to do and give the rest to the Lord. Let Him take the burden. It's like Nick Saban of Alabama says: if every player does what he is supposed to do on every play, the score will take care of itself. Numbers help us measure progress, but don't get obsessed with them.
Love the people. Find ways to serve them. Talk to everyone about the gospel. Use members to find people. Obey the rules and pray like crazy. And, don't forget to have fun. People don't want to join a church with miserable servants. If you do this, the "score" will take care of itself.
Love you.
Dad
