Well Fam, I would like to say that it was a dang good week this week so i am just super pumped and super happy and super tired but i feel great and nothing could be better. Today we woke up at five o'clock and went on a flat out brawl of going in every catholic church that we could find because in Puebla there are tons and there are some super sweet ones so that was pretty fun and I bought a new exercise program so im super stoked and will still come back alpha male.

So first off we FINALLY had some investigators come to church WOO WOO. So Marc Antonio who has a date for the 21 along with his mom and two daughters and wife and mother in law (who is actually a member) all came to church yesterday, so the three week curse has now been broken. They absolutely loved it and felt of the spirit, the only bad thing is that in gospel principles we talked about the 12 tribes of Israel so that was a bit confusing and even went over the top of my head but besides that all is great. This week we had a family home evening with them and watched meet the Mormons, which i just love and is really a great way to share the gospel and a great tool to show people that were not that weird and all the weird stuff that they hear is a flat out lie. So they are doing great and progressing.

We were super direct with Denise this week and we actually put a baptism date with her too for the 21 of November but... she did not come to church BUT it is all good and ya win some and ya lose some. 

We found a sweet new family of new investigators. They are called the Mayo family, well i guess its just a husband and wife and we contacted them one day and they accepted and on Saturday we went to hunt them down and they actually let us in and talked our ear off and told us there whole life story. It was a super funny lesson and we were teaching about God and his physical attributes so we read the scripture in Genesis 1:26 that says god created us in his image and gave us dominion over the animals and fish....So we then asked him in whose image it was that god created us and he said the fishes hahahah it was honestly the funniest thing and he was super serious but i could not help it and just busted up laughing. Needless to say it was an interesting lesson but he did accept the baptism invitation so we will see what happens. 

So this week we have had a great turn around with our zone, we actually had great numbers this week. We had our zone conference on Wednesday and we were thinking about what we wanted to do and how to motivate this zone. So we read Alma 24 about the anti Nephi Lehies when they buried there weapons, which is my favorite story and then we did an activity where we each chose something that we wanted to bury and leave behind once and for all and then we went outside and buried it in the church lawn. Then we wrote a letter to ourselves that were going to open when we end our missions about what we want to achieve and that good stuff. Needless to say, with the help of the lord, our zone is doing a lot better and were seeing miracles. 

That's about it family, life is just great and my companion keeps telling me that im talking in my sleep in Spanish, so i couldn't be happier. Love you guys so much!
