Well I really don’t have much to say! This week we had mission council with all the district leaders and a family home evening as zone leaders. There’s so much work to do I can’t even believe it. I'm not sure how we are going to get everything done here in this tiny group but I have faith! I’m trying to not doubt and just work as hard as I can!
Our family of investigators got married this week!!! But they still won’t accept a baptismal date... They go to church every Sunday. Actually, they are literally the ONLY ones (except our mission leader) that go to church every single Sunday. This Sunday we talked about testimonies in the second hour, and wow, it was super cool. Several of them shared their testimonies, and they literally said, "I know the Book of Mormon is true and that the church is true". Its so amazing to see the process of conversion in the people.
Sadly some of our investigators have dropped off in this week, but that just gives us more time to teach people who are truly ready to be baptized. Also sadly, one of our investigators who was doing really well now cannot be baptized. Her Aunt who takes care of her, said a very resolute "no" when she asked if she could be baptized. One step at a time. But a huge miracle is that in La Huerta a family who lives super far away came to church! We were actually thinking about dropping them, because they weren’t completing their commitments. But they made the sacrifice and came to church! Also another miracle, there’s an orthopedic surgeon in Guadalajara who is running for governor. Hermana Pelayo contacted him and he agreed to do Irmas surgery for free! She has a really bad bone infection and needs to replace a poorly put plate in her leg but she’s one of the poorest of the members here. This is a huge miracle.

Bueno this week waaaaaaaaaassss normal!! We had basically the whole week to work in our area. Interestingly enough we achieved basically the same thing as any other week which is a testament to me that the Lord really helps us when we have weeks where we really don’t have any time in our area. Mostly our biggest struggle right now is figuring out who really can progress and who we need to leave. Because honestly there’s a ton of investigators. If we wanted to be teaching all day we could probably be doing so, but it wouldn’t profit anything to be teaching for hours with no results. Things are going reasonably well, and every day there are miracles. We still have many many people that come to church, but their progress is a bit slower than I would like.
This week we have been able to offer a lot more service than usual which is nice, even though the people may not want to listen to us, it’s still a pleasure to serve these people. In March we are reading the four Gospels in the New Testament and I can see that Christ really came to serve those around him. Al final de cuentas, not many understood or followed him, but that didn’t stop Him from healing and serving those who surrounded Him.
Anyway, not much else to say about this week! Everything is going well and this next week should be rather interesting! We have district conference and Zone conference so p-day will be on Tuesday!
