| Here they carry everything on their heads. I'm not quite sure how. This is Yanet who we are teaching. |
This week was probably the hardest week of my mission. The problem was that last week our bikes broke. So we have been borrowing bikes from the members but finally, everything we were using or borrowing developed a problem and we had to just resort to walking. Unfortunately, that meant that we needed to walk around 3 miles to get to La Colonia and then another 2 miles down another street. Then we had to walk all the way back to make some of our other visits. Needless to say after 5 days of that we were exhausted. We barely got back to our house before falling asleep. I remember various times this week just walking down the road with my eyes closed.

But really the Lord blessed our hard work. We have been talking a lot with Hermana Gloria's Family and Marlin and Carlos are going to get married next week! And on Saturday or Sunday Marlin, Lucia and Julisa are going to get baptized! Carlos is gonna get baptized the next week if all goes according to plan!
We also are teaching this family that has been receiving the missionaries since like 3 years ago but we taught them this week and challenge them to get married. And they accepted! And Teresa came with her daughter to church and everything.

This Friday we had a great conference with our Presidente Ruiz. He came to our zone to talk to us about how we could do more work as a companionship in our own respective areas. He talked to us about how to help our investigator Carlos. He has been really trying to know if this is the true church or not. The problem is that he has a bunch of families that love to talk badly about the church. We've heard from him that they say that we are spies. They say that we are all just terribly raised children from the states that Obama has shipped us out to talk about the Bible to make us better behaved, or that we are the Church of the Devil and do tons of terrible things. Really the hate against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints here is pretty prevalent. Usually, we sit and clear up all of his doubts. But President taught us something just awesome. He reminded us that God is love and contention is of the devil he told us to teach everyone the Doctrine that God is love. When people talk bad about the church, it doesn't come from God. We have been teaching everyone that now and it's really helped! Our mission president is the best! I know that our Heavenly Father blesses those that are diligent and devoted to his cause!
I love you all and miss you!
Love,
Elder Pugmire

| OH! Great story! The lights went out again for a few days (no electricity). When they go out all of the Chocobananas get ruined. So the member that sells them told us to come and help her eat some choco bananas. We ate like 25 each.... and then went home and almost died. |

| Hna Gloria's kids built this zipline in their back yard with a rope, a tire, and a pulley! It is awesome |

I thought you'd enjoy this mom. We played matches with this kid like we always used to play with the missionaries when I was young.

Another one of our investigators hit an owl and we were there to help it get better
so they could keep it as a pet.
