This week ended another transfer but Elder Allen and I will be staying together so i´ll be able to finish out his training. So on tuesday, we had a training meeting and our interviews with President. Those are always great to help bring back the fire and go out working even harder. Then on Friday we went to General Rodriguez, the area of the zone leaders, to do divisions with them so we lost two days in our area this week, but we were able to take advantage of the other days and have some good success. We are teaching a family the Zunino´s who are progressing well now. Last week, we talked with the oldest daughters and taught them outside their house. Their dad had reciently been put in jail and they dont know why or what happened. So they wanted to listen to us and see if we could help them. We said we could help spiritually so we taught them and it went pretty well. By our next visit, they had all read and prayed, and also talked to their mom about us and she wanted to listen as well. We could really tell that they were very sincere and in want of help even though they didnt have much of a religious background and dont understand much about God. The second lesson went well, we decided to review lesson 1 with them since the mom hadnt heard it. We invited everyone to be baptized and come to church as well. This sunday the mom and the oldest daugther, who`s 19, came to church! They may have not understood a lot but are starting to feel the difference in their lives, because they just want peace and comfort. Sadly, they had to go after the first two hours so they weren´t able to stay for sacrament meeting.(the schedule is switched here) but they are progressing well now.
Even though the progress and success here in our area right now is a little slow, Im grateful for experience like with the Zunino family that gives us a boost of hope! I have learned that you always, especially in the mission, have to recognize the good, and that gives us hope. (Ether 12:4)
Other than that this week, was just the same old, same old! But Im doing great and love you all!
