Week 57...9/7/15...Balduvino, Fernando and Melanie and Sandra

Alright, this one is gonna be short. I'm writing early today because we got to get to work early today. After all, on Thursday we are headed to Xetalul! (editor's note:  The amusement park.) We made some sweet jerseys for the zone but I'll send pictures next week! 

So this week we had some awesome people we met. We met this guy named Balduvino. Great name right? haha! But he's awesome! He's been all through the country being part of the army but we talked to him and taught him the word of wisdom and the Law of castidad chastity... is that how it's spelled? Uh, I don't remember anymore... But ya it was awesome he accepted to live them all at once! Then he told us he was ready to be baptized and confirmed a member of the Church (now remember we only have had 2 days of knowing this guy).  He said he just wanted to go to church a few times before he gets baptized... We were like LETSSS GOOOOOOO!!!! We were so pumped. This guy has been so prepared by whom or what I'm not sure. But it's been pretty awesome and the Lord has obviously been directing us to him.

We also are teaching a family of Fernando and Melanie they are super cool and are progressing really quickly. They have various problems in their family but are slowly progressing through it and should be baptized in these next couple of weeks!!!!

Also, we got a reference of gold from our mission leader Joel. Her name is Sandra Reyes. She's sooooo awesome! She's read like everything we've left her. She's a teacher at one of the schools here and really really smart. And when I asked her if she felt like she has received an answer to her prayers she said yes, that and more, she said she felt so much peace in the church, and she and her daughter just need to come to church a few more times and they're going to get baptized as well! 

Finally, the political stuff is getting over. There used to be pickups full of people running everywhere blowing whistles like crazy.  The elections for the governors and mayors were on Sunday, and that ended with very few problems, so that was good! The only problem was we had a bunch of investigators come to church but then left right out of the sacrament meeting to go to the voting place, we felt pretty used like they had just used us to get to the city since our area is kinda far away.

Hope everything is well!

Love,
