Weeks of nothing 2/9/15



Hoooooooooooooola!!
So you are all going to be bored again this week because i don't have any cool stories to tell about the work in these few weeks. 3 weeks in a row we have only had 1 investigator come to church and its Francisco who we have been having a hard time getting him to want to get baptized. Well good news about him! This week he told us he wants to get baptized!!!!! But.......in April......in Tijuana! I don't even know how we are going to figure this out, but the good news is that he has a testimony and he knows he needs to and wants to get baptized! He really has made a lot of progress in these last couple of weeks so that's been the one awesome thing to see!
Ok so this week was a little crazy because one day we were in a trio and today we had 4 hermanas. we dont have any idea what has been going on because nobody would tell us anything, but last night we got a call at 11 30 at night from the zone leaders telling us that 2 of the hermanas were gong to come sleep at our house. Then they took out the other 2 hermanas that were in that ward and people only hint toward whats going on but they dont really tell us so that's totally lame. But that's about all of the excitement ive got going on. They're telling us we have to contact 12 people each day so thats the fun goal we have to work on this week....
Other htan that its actually been pretty hot here this week! Its been in the 80s and i have to put sunscreen on and have gotten sunbutyned!!! I dont think thats ever happened in my life in February before! But yeah and we did find one cool new investigator that is totally cholo but he has read a lot of his book of mormon and is excited about everything so we are excited for him.
Love you all so much and hope you have an aweseome week and happy valentines day!!!!!!!!!

Ummmmmmmmmm 2/2/15

Ok sorry if this email is going to be way boring but I have nothing to say!!!! First off Happy birthday Carly, Rex, and Justin!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo for being old!!!!!! Ok so this week was really slow again. we have just been trying to find new investigators because all of our other investigators arent progressing but so far we havent had much luck in finding people that actually want to go to church! we are still working with francisco getting baptized because he is getting pumped up and almost there, but just quite doesnt want to make the decision. He has dreams about getting baptized and he loves going to church but he is being rebelious haha! He has had some really cool experiences that have helped him realize that this is what he needs to do with his life, he just is scared to fall short after being baptized. But this week we went with him to read from the book of mormon because he cant read on his own. We read 3 nephi 11 and he was so excited after that and wants us to come all of the time and read with him now!
Hmmmm other than that theres not much to say. We went to go visit Gonzala and alvaro again and see what they would say. we only found her but alvaro was workingf. He still doesnt want anything with teh church, but she still wants to go in these next couple of weeks and not pressure him and hope that in time he will soften up. Theyre going to get baptized I just dont know when. I wont be here anymore, but one day its going to happen. 
We had intercambios this week and I worked with Hna Price (she is the one that Evan knows who plays softball) and it was really fun! Oh! And I found a girl in the ward who plays softball on her high school team here! She has become my new favorite member haha! Thats all ive got for you this week. Love you all so much!

Heartbreaker 1/26/15

HOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all Happy Birthday on Wednesday Sean!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you an dmiss you and hope you party it up redneck style for me!!!!!!!!
so this week was actually pretty depressing!!!!!!! Alvaro, Gonzala, and Lizeth who were going to get baptized this week, dropped us!!!!!!!!!!!! They got internet and within a few hours he had seen a bunch of anti mormon stuff and thinks we are racist, polygamists, and he doesnt want any part of it!! i have never cried in a lesson before and that was the first time i cried when I was just trying to tell them to read their book of mormon and pray and god would help them understand that all the stuff they read are lies!!! But oh well at least we know that they werent ready for a baptism!! gonzala is way sad becasue she still wants to listen, but she is just following her husband. Im going to miss her a lot, she was such a doll face! Ooooooooooh well! it was actually pretty funny because yesterday we had  alesson close to their house so we were passing by to go with someone else and he was outside and didnt know that  ihad seen him! Next thing I know he was hiding behind a tree trying not to get our attention!!!!! It was pretty funny because he is this big tough military guy, thats afraid of the sister missoinaries!!!
So now we are on the hunt to find more investigators because pretty much nobody else is progressing!!!!!! Theres one guy thats gone to church like 9 times but doesnt want to accept a baptism date, but hes gettling there so ill keep you updates!
The good news is that my comp fell a couple of times on her bike again and it was o the sand and it didnt hurt her but I got some good laughs out of it!!!!!! One time she ran into my tire and we both fell but she started walking like a penguin becuase the pedal had hit her leg so that was some good times haha!!!!! I love you all so much!
