Family!!!!!

So on Tuesday at changes meeting, we found out that the zone of La libertad sur combined with us. So that was kinda a surprise and our zone has doubled in size, we now have 35 missionaries and 4 districts instead of 18 missionaries and 2 districts so it has been a little overwhelming but it will be super good. The sweet thing is that me and my comp both have our own cell phone so that's pretty legit I must say.

This week has been one of those first weeks of the month and of the change so we hve just been running from meeting to meeting this whole entire week and had to do our monthly informs so it was kinda a weird week and we didn't get to work much in the area.

We had a great week with Nancy and Miguel and Francisco. We have been super worried about them because they keep on putting off their marriage for silly reasons but Francisco has just been great and wants to get baptized so bad and just loves everything. SO on Saturday we taught them and we wanted to baptize the three of them together but then we felt like we should put a date for baptism for Francisco before his parents so that it would kinda pressure them. So we put a date for Francisco the 22 of august and then Nancy and Miguel told us they wanted to get baptized as a family so we put a date for this Saturday woo woo for their wedding and the 22 for them too to get baptized. So keep them in your prayers alot that everything will work out smooth this week and that hopefully next Monday they are married. I seriously love this family, they truly have a desire to change and have already changed in so many ways.

So right now with Victoria we are passing through a thick cloud of black smog hahaha her little gosh dang boss will not budge and will not give her Sunday to rest. Its pretty sad because you can tell she is so sad and wants to be baptized so much. We fasted with her on this last weekend so we will see what happens. 

This week we are leaving all of our other investigators that aren't progressing behind and will only focus on these 4 and finding those who are prepared to receive this message, they are out there, we just got to find them. 

On Friday we planned a sweet mission activity hoping to find some new investigators and we watched meet the Mormons. And we thought we drilled it into the members heads that this was a mission activity and the purpose was to invite their non member friends. We actually had a super good turn out of members but they just forgot about the non member part hahahhaa it reminded me of Bo's activity on his mission when no body showed up ha. All we can do is try and shat happens happens. 

That's about it Family, life is so great and I truly feel so blessed and truly feel privileged to be  a missionary for two years. Time is going fast and life is just great. love you guys so much.
