Just another week

Family,

 

Well, this was basically just another week. We had a specialized training in Sioux City on Thursday. It was pretty nice. It was a meeting with just the missionaries in our zone- there are about 14 of us. The assistants to the president came too, along the mission president. We learned about the power of prayer in conversion and how to teach our investigators how to pray. It was a spirit filled meeting and it was nice to hear from our mission president.

 

We continue to teach severel investigators. Enrique is an investigator we have been working with for a while. He came to church several times, but then his wife cheated on him. It has been really difficult for him. He has started drinking a lot, but has started drinking less now. For quite a while he kept telling us there was nothing that could be done that could help him, and only time could make any difference. But this week he finally told us that he enjoys us coming over and teaching him- that it makes him know he is not alone. He has started reading the Book of Mormon on his own.

We are also teaching Pablo. We are trying to teach his wife too, but she isn't too interested. He expresses a desire to come to church and be baptized, but has not come to church yet. We want to get some members involved to help him make that step.

We have not taught Marcos this week but should next week.

 

We had a small fan in our appartment. I saw it and decided to take it apart. I have just the motor that can plug into the wall now. I might make a small car with it. We'll see. It's ben a fun little project.

 

We had some cake and ice cream with a member yesterday for my birthday. It was delicious.

 

Love you all!
