Well, these past 2 weeks have probably been the hottest and wettest 2 weeks. We are in "Winter" here or basically when it has gone from hot to hotter and from humid to more humid.
These past 2 weeks have been pretty fun though, 2 weeks ago we found Guillermo. He is the brother of an inactive member and he went to church the first week so he now has a baptismal date for the 16 of February.
This past week we finally had a couple of the families that we have been teaching pull up to church. They have been going here and there and hadn't gone for a long time but they finally went again! It's been pretty cool to find a couple of families and actually teach them as a family and see all of them progress and see that change in their heart lesson after lesson.
Honestly there isn't a whole much more after that, Elder Toombs and I have been doing a lot of exchanges and we are exhausted when we get to the end of the week. It is pretty cool to get to know the Elders invidually and get to know their families, and stories for why they came out to serve a mission. I have learned alot from Elders who have a lot less time than me.
Almost forgot to put this in here but last p day we decided that we would go bowling and our district leader was going to pay for the pizza since we hit out member reference goal. We were waiting for the hermanas when a guy came up to us and told us that he wanted to pay for our lunch and gave us $40 to use. When we finished ordering we tried to give them leftover money back to the guy and bro just disappeared. It was pretty cool and reminded me when that happened on my way to Ecuador.
Finally, lately while reading the Book of Mormon, I can really tell that is has been written for our day. I can also testify of 2 Nephi 28:30, that as we study the word of God little by little, precept upon precept we understand more and more and we are able to apply more and more in our life.
Miss you guys
