So grateful to hear from him this week!! It seemed like the longest 2 weeks ever!!!

Family I'm sorry for last week because I didn't write you but I was SANTIAGO almost all day! 

So first I think I will tell you that I'm feeling soo much better and starting to gain a little more weight back! The doctor said that I have parásitos and so now I will take some medicine soon and I will be just fine!!

 This week and a half or so has been like a roller coaster and I loved it!!! Thursday we had taught a lot of people and hopefully we can start having days like this! Friday was absolutamente amazing and iIloved it because we had talked to this one family for soo long and finally they are starting to do nuestros compromisos y I know that they are progressing more! I love everything in this area but it rains everyday now!! Saturday was great we were teaching this one family about the importance of why we are here as missionaries and I really think that they will finally know that we are here for a reason! They have had 4 diferente grupos de misioneros y ellos necesitan el evangelio de Jesucristo en su vida pero vamos a ver! I hope that we can all know of the importance of the gospel en our lives in order to receive the blessings that we desperately need!

Sunday was really sweet because I had the oportunidad a hablar y yo espero que los miembros puedan saber que la obra es para todos! I really love this work here in my area!!! Monday was really good but my problem was that it rained all day and everything was just soaked but... it makes it a little less hot!!!!  We had a family night with this member and the reference that they gave us and I really hope that we can get this family progressing because they are the best!!!  And they have a great spirit to them! Tuesday o ayer was really good it rained again but my companion is starting to change a little!! Today was great we played basketball with some elders and 3 different members and it was great!! It was a great time but I realized that I'm  out of shape from being sick  and need to get back into to shape!!

Hey family I haven't said this in a while so ewwwwwww!!! Amen!!

This week has been really good but a lot of rain and mud and rivers in the calle! so today was the end of this transfer and im with my same companion and same area but its all good!! my companion is really starting to change and working better i hate being the bad guy but i just want to serve like we should! this week has been really short!! so thursday was really good the only problem was that there are a lot of people who dont really realize that we arent perfect! we have contacted this week 5 less active members and everyone isnt going to church because they got affended and the funny thing is that its by the same family! the members here have a lot of orgullo and they cant seem to get rid of it!  Sunday I need to talk again about the work and I'm  going to be direct but with love! Friday was really good it rained a lot and there were like rivers in the streets but anyway we found out that this one investigador gave up his coffee and now we need to work on his ear rings! so ya hopefully he can be baptized this month!  Sunday was really good here and i absolutamente think that the work is really starting to grow!! I love the people here and I'm glad that I'm in this area! I don't feel like the same Mitch anymore!  We had a talk with this one lady named Empetatrize and she is so smart! We have heard some tough stories about her life but yet she is always soo happy!! She calls me her mas hermoso precioso hermano en todo el mundo!! she is great and I hope that you guys will pray for her so that she can feel gods love and know that through the gospel we can feel it better! Sunday was ok! W asnt many people getting up for church but the stake president talked and it was great! i really hope that the lideres de este barrio pueden trabajar con nosotros! this week rained a ton!!!  Monday was good and I love family nights here! The people are so great and the some pretty fun card games!Tueasday was really good but it rained all day and the streets flooded again and we only could teach 2 people! For Mothers Day!! I'ts been really hard finding a place that will be open on Sunday, but any who I can talk with you guys  7p.m.- 9.p.m. and in utah it will be 5-7 p.m. I cant wait until I can talk to you and we will be using a members tablet!!  I love you guys so much and will talk to you Sunday!!!!!!!!!!

ewwwww

Im so grateful that today i can write you guys and tell you guys about my week! this week for me has been one the hardest for me in the entire mission! i love this work that im able to do! first thing i want to say is that have you thought of your testimonios about the book of mormon?? i have learned that the book of mormon isnt just a book! its the love that Jesus Christ and Gods has for us!! if you dont have a testimonio of this very book then i challenge you guys to get this testimonio! through this book i have never felt closer to God! i wish that i would have studied before the mission because this is really the book of god!! i want everyone of you guys to watch a video of Jeffery R Holland in order to hear a real testimonio of this book!! on youtube!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_M8asSSGvw! Anyway i love each and everyone of you guys and i hope that everything is good with you! so thursday was great because we were teaching this one family in this really torn down house about Joesph Smith and the Book Of Mormon and during this lesson i have never felt the spirit stronger in my life about what we have in this life! As members of the church we have the blessings to know that Joesph Smith was a true profeta of God! This Gosple can bring blessings that we cant count but if we are not doing the things are supposed to do God will with hold those Blessings! So Friday was ok but i had troubles with finding people in there homes! i had a hard time with having the energy to walk but as i thought of what i was feeling i realized that i should stop and talk to this person and as a started to introduce us he started to tell us that he was waiting for people like us! im grateful for the spirit and that im worthy enough to recieve the help and his promptings! Saturday was ok and i wish that people would be in there houses! we didnt have anything special and i just wish that people would know how important this gosple really is! Sunday was great because i was able to take the sacrament and renovar mis convenios con Dios! I love to hear other peoples talks and testimonios! Monday was good but i really wish that we could recieve more apoyo con los miembros! this work is for everyone! Tuesday was good and i hope that we could teach everyone and feel the spirit like this day but sometimes it just doesnt happen!! anyway family that is my weekly letter and know that i pray for you guys all the time and that i love you guys soo much!! i dont know what time i can write you guys yet for mothers day but we will see!
