Sorry family for the short letter last week! This week has been really good! In 2 weeks we will see Manuel get baptized! He told us on sunday that he wanted to be baptized! He is such a powerful man! He really has soo much love for our Savior! We have a few families that are progressing now and said that they will go to church next week, so we will have to see how that goes! Thanks everybody for your birthday wishes! this was really a great birthday! The sister missionaries in my zone made me a cake! It was banana bread with chocolate with powdered sugar on top! It was really good! I love the missionaries of my zone! They work soo hard! I know we have one of the best zones in the mission! A lot of our lessons have been falling the last few weeks so its hard to have your head up all the time! I love this work no matter how hard it gets! These people are soo amazing! I know that sometimes the work gets tough or even life gets tough but these trails that we face daily are here to strengthen us and to guide us Gods Kingdom! If we are close to the spirit in everything we do, he will will  protect us and guide us to the correct path! He is our comforter and he will be with us in times of trial! We should try each and everyday to follow the impressions of the spirit! He so wants us to be blessed! I know that Jesus Christ is directing this great work! I know that the lord is preparing his children to recive the Gosple! I love you guys soo much! I pray that youo guys will try each day to be worhty to have the spirit! He will give you the comfort that you guys need! I know that this church is true! I know that this work is true! I know that if i stay strong and steady and work as hard as i can to finish my mission the lord will bless me. Love you all!
