Hey fam!

This week was really good. We had some really awesome lessons that I will never forget in my whole life!

So my favorite lesson this week was with one of our investigators named Candalaria. Candalaria is very poor, as in one of her walls is made out of flattened out cardboard. Knowing her poverty, I obviously was a little nervous to each the law of tithing, but I knew that I had to be strong and show my faith for her so that she too, could have the faith to complete with the law of tithing. So when we got to her house, we asked her what she thought about the pamphlet that we had left in the previous appointment. She then proceeded to tell us about how she really wanted to live this law, but did not know if she could do so and feed herself and her husband, who has a disease and has not been able to work for the last 15 years, at the same time. Oh how my heart went out to her! We then told her a little more about the law of tithing and it`s history, shared experiences, and bore our testimonies about how we will be blessed if we live the law. What great faith she has! She told us that she will live the law of tithing after she is baptized! I have a such great love for this woman and am so glad that I have had the opportunity to teach her!

Me and Elder Mora also have gotten loads better at teaching together. I feel like we work very well together and am so glad he is my companion!

Our progressing investigators seem to have moved over to our other towns in our area. We now have one baptism from them, and 4 more investigators that are progressing really well. I really feel like we could have another set of missionaries to work that other area! The work is really starting to progress!

I love this people so much! I am so glad that I even have this opportunity to be a part of their salvation!

Also we baptized Miriam this week!!!!!!!! So cool!!! It`s really special if you know her circumstances: she was a Jehovah`s witness. So on Monday she was excommunicated and now is basically shunned by ALL of her family and friends. What awesome faith she has! She`s one of those converts that will be completely active for the rest of her life!

Also we started the process of making tortillas from scratch at a members house this week. By that I mean that this week we got whole corns on the cob and took off all the kernels with our bare hands. This week on Wednesday we are going to grind it all up by hand:) is is goin` to be metal.

So I would say I had a pretty awesome week! I sure as heck fire hope that you guys did too!!:) I love you all a ton!!
