Well, well, well, here's the computer screen again. . . I can't believe that a whole other week has passed. Like 2 more of these and my companion will be home, like literally in his home. I do my best to try and get him ''baggy or trunky'' We call it baggy here. He's a great kid though and we've been working hard as always!

I've been running all over the Zone this week. On Tuesday I went to Genova and on Thursday headed up to El Amparo y Tumbador. It was pretty good! It's kinda crazy because a lot of the missionaries depend on their leaders to lead them. But when I go on divisions I like to force them to lead me and do the very best they can. Which actually surprises them more than it does me because they learn that they are capable of doing so much more.

We had a kinda bummer week this week as a Zone though. We had a bunch of people scheduled to get baptized and confirmed but unfortunately, a bunch of them fell through. I think that The Lord is just humbling us and that next month He's going to use us to make a miracle happen.

| Yah… Reeses went on sale…. So you can say we made the best of it. |
Our area though has been BRILLANDO!!!! The Mom of the two kids who got baptized last week got BAPTIZED!!!! Carolina is super cool! Even though she had a bunch of friends and family come and try to get her not to do it she still felt like it was a good thing to do and that the church was good. So she is super awesome! All three of them were there in church early for her confirmation. She is super shy in front of people but once you get to know her she smiles all the time! I love their family so much!

Also, we have been teaching this family of the Hermana Adiahaida. She is super awesome! I don't remember if I mentioned her last week but she had a dream that The Church is true and she got a new job so that there was absolutely no way that she would miss church this week! It worked! She came along with 2 of her kids, another friend, and 3 other kids she knows! Her other 2 sons had to work and her daughter-in-law and another one of her son's friends were gonna come too but they went to work too. They should come next week! She loved church and the 2, her daughter and family friend did too. Actually, they all loved it and the members all came up to us, and we're like, ''That is such an amazing family that you guys brought to church!'' I've never gotten compliments on investigators before but it felt pretty darn good. I was like ''YA! YA, they are!'' Actually, that's exactly what I said. I know it wasn't very intelligent-sounding, but that's what I said because they really are that special. We're hoping that they get baptized in these next couple of weeks so if you could keep them in your prayers that would be awesome! The Family Gonzalez!
Love you all!
Love, Elder Pugmire
