Hey guys! 

Elder Brown and Elder Radmall

This week was pretty good! Dad, just so you know that I read your emails, the first thing that I'm gonna do is respond to your question. En nuestra día de preparación estamos bién ocupados con limpiando la casa, lavando ropa, haciendo las compras, escribiendo, etc. que no tenemos tanto tiempo para hacer otras cosas. También, mi compañero no le gusta hacer muchas cosas entonces, pues ánimodo jaja.  (In our day of preparation we are well occupied with cleaning the house, washing clothes, shopping, writing, etc. that we do not have so much time to do other things. Also, my partner does not like to do many things then, because encourages haha.)

This week we had splits two times. The first time, I went to San José with Elder Brown. Splits with him were pretty good. He's from Utah. He's been out for about 7 months and speaks pretty good Spanish, but still has a little bit of fear to talk to the people, so we worked on that a little bit. I made him take the initiative on every contact that we made. We also had their meeting with their Ward Mission Leader which was really interesting. He believes that aliens come and visit us, goes to conventions, tries to take pictures of when the come and visit, and lots of other things. He's kinda weird, but it sounds like he helps a lot with missionary work.

The other time we went on splits, I went with Elder Calvo here in my area. We had a great time. I really felt the Spirit a ton while he and I were teaching and contacting, which I've had a hard time feeling with Elder Antonio, but we're working on that.

Gregorio went to church yesterday and hasn't had anything to drink at all this week. He's really been strengthened by the mistake he made. He feels really bad about it. He´s also started sharing the gospel with his wife.

Ermilo and Socorro also went to church with us yesterday. They are two of the new investigators that we had this week. We´re wanting to put a baptismal date with them this week. One difficulty that we have with Socorro is that he doesn't know how to read.

But all in all it was a pretty decent week!

I love  you guys! Have a great week!

Questions:

Dad: The ward is quite a bit bigger than in Navolato, but the members don´t seem to be so excited about sharing the gospel. It´s a difficulty that we´re having. For the leadership meeting, yes we flew on a small plane. It had a propeller in front. (What is the ward like in this area?)

Mom: The Primary isn't super big, I´d say about 15 or so kids. and what happened to Bryan, the last I heard he was still in the mission?  (Does the ward use the missionaries much?  Tell how.  Also, how big is your primary?)

Holly: By really focusing on their needs, and really listening to them when they´re talking, even when it doesn't pertain to the lesson.  (How can you show love to those you teach?)

Sam: nope.  (Do you guys get to watch the Face to Face videos?)

Dylan:  We get to listen to music every day. Just music produced by the church haha  (Do you get to listen to any music on p-day?)
