I've been a little lost, a little frustrated, a little happy, a little sad....

bueno. my dear family i must apologize mucho.

These weeks I've been a little lost, a little frustrated, a little happy, a little sad, a little hopeful, a little mad, a little bit of everything. 

here are some pics of what it looks like from off the top of our house ;) we cooked sausages on the roof with some members that played soccer with us. a very good pday i must say.

I went to the doctor for the first time with a stomach bacteria and ate nothing but boiled fruits for 4 days but now i am fine. The mission is really hard. but really hard. I find myself so many times with no idea what to do and no time left to do it. 

I feel a lot like i´m out of ideas. Our greatest investigator is out of town and her parents said no to baptism and not just no but were quite harsh with her last week. We prepared her and she is trying to testify to them so she can be baptized and help her family be baptized. i´m praying a lot. 

we are once again having trouble getting people to come to church. But as i a put everything into figuring out why i am learning a ton about the day of rest and what really means that commandment. Its something i don´t really think i understood as a child. There is an old video of elder Holland who talks and explains the day of rest and wow it was eyeopening. 

But good things are happening as well. a new recent convert moved into our ward and is super awesome. hes gonna be a great missionary the fastest we can get him out there. And we are starting to find a group of great young adult men that are going to be a great help for us. 

Yes i got the bags as well and am loving the scripture bag. 1. my scriptures don´t fall out the bottom;P and 2. it has just enough space for everything. And i´m a lot more official with it;)

pdays. are very stressful. i fall down just about every week and its a miracle that i have not even gotten a scrape. but that's futbol  on cement just after it rains...it rains a lot.....and a lot...and a lot....

oh yeah about the doctor. Well for like 2 weeks i had an on and off pain in my stomach. like it was turning, but it would go away. POr fin i called the hermana chapparo [Sister Chapparo- mission president's wife] y she sent me to the stake president who is also the doctor for missionaries. and he was very nice and put me on a diet which was hard to not eat milk, bread, soda, fried things, nor anything not boiled.......yeah i think i lost a little weight this week.

I love you all!!!
