fam!!

so we moved and i left my cord in my bags and well long story.. but i
don't have photos..   so the room in the pench for us is not quiet
ready they just have to finish the bathroom and floor.. i have pictures..
but we had to leave our other room and we are living with the zone
leaders. but there hasn't been water for a week and they cant work on
our new room with out water... and one bathroom with 4 guys.. imagine

that.. without water.  besides that, i like living with them they help
a lot.

Oh i got the pics you sent mom. the house looks good but needs work
good luck with it wish i could help. and my room looks great just

lacks the flag on the wall haha.  and the picture of the day i left.. wow

Ive gain weight.. but i think its better.  but thanks for sending
them even though i almost got trunky haha. no i like it here to much!

Real quick. I'm tired of my companion. He doesn't really have common
sense.. that's all I'm going to say.

so the ward here is super dormant like a  volcano.  there are problems
in the ward. the bishop doesn't have  councilors right now so we are acting
as counselors and he wants to reorganize the ward like the presidents.
so we are helping visiting and basically  determining peoples future  or
as dad would say. condemning them ha. but no its really cool. how we
three have the same thoughts on the same people even though i don't
really know any one yet.

we want to take advantage of the new presidents. and help ¨´wake up  the
ward¨ to encourage the members to  do their callings and support the
mission work.  i feel kinda responsible to do this and help the ward
be better and if we do it right, like a volcano its going to explode
and  activate lots of success but it wont be in the next week or month but in
time so the next missionaries can work well with the ward and baptize.

we are still having trouble with investigators  the ones we have
still don't have permission to be baptized yet and the water problem..
well people are always going and getting water.. hard to find people.  and
Rocio who is going to get married and then baptized, move to  another
area so we have to pass the referral which is sad.. so kinda we are left

with no one and even when we have, people the ward doesn't help with like

being friends with the investigators, its hard.

i had a good experience . we knocked a door and talked with a girl who
visited long time ago and thought she new everything of the church.
and we were talking   about how there are lots of churches and she asked

me  which was correct . i said depends on who you ask but i know  its

this church that is true. And she looked at me real good and said. you sure? and  i
was happy to respond with total confidence that yes it is.  and something in
side of me just felt so good.  I'm happy to have been able to say yes
with surety in the moment that i needed to.

love you all
