Week #59

Hola Familia!

I am happy to see so many smiles from Christmas! As I read and looked at the pictures I could see it was a very special Christmas! It was a huge blessing to talk to you guys on Skype and I loved every minute of it! I am still trying to figure out if it feels like a long time since we have talked or if it was like yesterday! For me it feels like the second! Its a weird combination! But either way thank you for your time and support to chat for a bit!

This week was a tough one! Basically everything shut down for Christmas including the people! The majority of the members traveled for the week so we on Wednesday and Thursday we spent most of the time in the street trying to find somebody awake to teach! Never have I ever seen a city so dead! Haha everyone was asleep! ALL DAY LONG! But we did find some people and the Lord blessed us the rest of the week for the diligence we put in! 

We are really trying to work with the P. family so that they can come to church! They know so much! Also talking to JG told me that if I didn't deny the Book of Mormon I would go to hell so our investigators have some work! Haha but on the good side, C. and her son L. came to church yesterday and it was really sweet! We are also working with a family that The dad is member but his girlfriend isn't and they have 2 kids. So we are working with them to get married and baptize his girlfriend named N! So we are praying and working hard! I am still trying to find how I can leave San Pedro better than when I found it, the Lord has blessed me with a lot of time here and we have had little progress, so I am still on the hunt to strengthen this unity!

Elder S. is doing good and progressing very fast in his training! He already almost has 6 weeks in the mission! Time does fly! But we get a long and he is super smart! This week he got me pretty good! He told me that one day animal sacrifices will return to the temple, I told him that he was in an apostasy, because Jesus was the last sacrifice! Well he didn't have any doctrinal support but he stayed firm in his statement! Well it just so happened that I read in this Joseph Smith book that you guys sent me that they will return for a time! So Elder S filmed my confession and bragged a lot haha but it is always good to learn! I am not perfect so I learn a lot from training also! :)

So this week has been up and down! But we worked hard anyways! But I am grateful for the prayers and support you give me and I love you guys so much! Have a happy new year!

Love Always,
Elder Milton
