WEEK 55 - Update
This week was really good.
Tuesday
We had a great lesson with Cristian, who will be getting baptized this Saturday, we taught The Gospel of Jesus Christ. We had a good little lesson with an old member. We went and visited our convert Frederman, he is doing really great and he gave us a reference.
Wednesday
We taught another old member, trying to help her out. She is a really great person and we played with her son a little bit. We had a meeting with the leaders of the ward.
Thursday
The power went out. We had weekly planning outside on the porch because it was so hot. We went and visited a convert, Sandy, and we were able to help her out with a lesson about baptisms for the dead.
Friday
Our district leader asked me to teach the class on Friday, so I taught about the Holy Ghost. I felt like it was alright. We went and visited another reference, Delma, she has a ton of great questions about the Gospel.
Saturday
We had another great lesson with Cristian. We visited another member with the Elder Quorum President and another member. We went and visited Frederman's reference. Great people.
Sunday
Church was great. We had 7 investigators at church. We went and visited Delma and had a wonderful lesson with her about the Restoration.

Tuesday we had a lesson with a new investigator, Ingrid, it was a great lesson and she accepted a baptism invitation. We went and talked to Porfirio for a little while. It started raining really really hard.
Wednesday
We taught Leandro, the kid that we are teaching that got baptized this week. We taught another new investigator, Irania. She has a lot of questions and a real desire to learn.

We taught two twin kids with their mom. They are the only ones in their fmaily that aren't members but they are all inactive. We had a Family Home Evening lesson at a member's house.
Friday
We had zone conference. It was great to learn about how to be better and to all the friends. We had another Family Home Evening.
Saturday
We went and helped clean the church with some members. Hot, sweaty, hard work but still very fun. We went and taught Irania again. She is looking really positive. We had Leandro's baptism. I got to baptize him and it was a great experience.
Sunday
We had church. We got called in to help in the Primary today because the kids were going crazy. So we went and sang and colored with them.
Have a great week!
