We are teaching:
Betiana. Wife of a less active RM. They have a little girl named Luz and she is the cutest thing ever. They really want to have an eternal family and they are doing everything to get there...except going to church. Before we met them they had stopped drinking and smoking because they wanted to be better for their daughter. So they really want it, however, they haven´t come to church. She had a baptism date for the 9th of May but we keep having to move it back. So hopefully they can come to chuch.
Silvia. She is a friend of a less active who happened to be at their house when we stopped by to teach. She wants to get baptized, she previously studdied the church because it interests her, and she doesn´t like the other churches because she can´t feel the spirit when she goes. She had a date for this coming Saturday but we just don´t feel like she is ready. We need to help her with her prayers and the importance of asking God for help and for answeres. Also for forgivness of our sins.
Liliana. She is an old investigator who wouldn´t get married. We started teaching her and everthing is going great. She also had a baptism date for this coming Saturday but she hasn´t gotten married yet. We met with her and her "Man" last week and they both agreed that they were going to get married this week, but now she is having second thoughts. So we need to help her to receive an answer that she has to get married and baptized to go to heaven.
Other families who we have had one or two lessons with and are still trying to get a feel for where we are at with them.
The only cool things I have seen are all of the donkey carts in the streets and the huge ships that go through the river right here by San Lorenzo. The river is huge and these ships are bigger than cruise liners. It is pretty cool.
Didn´t really eat much exciting this week but it´s alright.
We taught one lesson to a recent convert family last week of a mom and twins. They live in a little pueblo, (town) which is about 40 minutes away by car. So a family in our branch drove us out there and we taught them about temples. We are going back out there tonight for a family night and dinner. But I got some pictures of the trip out there.
Another really cool thing happened. Last night I gave my first blessing in Spanish. It was all by the spirit. I don´t have much time so I will write more about it next week.
I love you mom!
