Week #46

Hola Familia!

I did get the email this week! And I was super excited! I never thought that you guys forgot about me so don't worry about that! I just figured it was the computer as usual! But it did put a smile on my face to read this email and read that everyone is doing really good!

Well this week actually started out pretty funny! And I guess a little scary for Elder St and one other Elder in my district named Elder Sm! Both being new haven't really done anything with a division...so guess what I did?! Not only did I do a division but I also left Elder St in our area and I went with Elder Sm in his area! So if you could imagine these poor guys with only 3 weeks in the field wondering what to do! Haha okay so it wasn't that bad I helped Elder St a bunch to prepare and I did it with the purpose because they need to learn! So when I went to Elder Sm's area this week...we got so lost for 4 hours...but I will say it helped me help him more with talking to people and practicing his contacting in Spanish! Elder St did great while I was gone! So It turned out really good! They just didn't believe that I was going to actually force them to do this...so that was funny! 

This week was a good test! After having such a super good week last week the Lord blessed us with rain ALL week! So at first it was normal but by the end of the week we had to fight against the natural man and go out and work! The district did great this week also in this aspect, so I am pleased! We taught all our investigators several times this week, The L, A, and C families! So we were super happy and all really are progressing besides the C family. Turns out J might be moving so hes been gone a lot so his sister and his mom are doing okay! But Sunday comes along and 9 o clock hits and not one of them come to church! So I start teaching the Gospel Principles class and slowly all the people start showing up....like a bunch of people and members! But still no investigators! So everyone time someone would walk in I would have this false hope! So I finally gave up...and right when I did the L family walked in! I was so happy! And they have a baptismal date of October 11! There is the Mom S and her two kids E- 16 years old and S- 10 years old so we are super excited to help them a bunch this week and prepare! We are going to the river today with E to check it out to see if it is safe for the baptism so we will see! :) 

So this week was a good week! We just had to work at it and it wasn't all given to us like the other one! So it was good and we got a lot done! I have realized that the members here really trust me! I guess lacking a bishop or a president they probably look up to me for something! So I feel honored and privileged to work with them and help them! This week is General Conference and we won't be watching this week, but next week we will download it and watch it with the members so don't spoil anything! But then again I don't know what that really means...its general conference its not like a movie so there shouldn't be spoilers? haha well thank you for all your prayers :) I love you all and I pray for you! I will write more next week :)

Love

Elder Milton

P.S. Super slow today! I will send more pictures next week :)
