I Lost the Game!

Hey guys!

Our district hike last p-day

So about the subject line, I was walking back to piso one day when I remembered and lost the game. A select few of you will have a clue what I'm talking about and because of that will probably be frustrated with me, please forgive. Mom, I know for sure Amanda and Jeffrey will know what it is. If you're confused, ask Amanda; she can explain. Ok, onto the week!

So, it's been a pretty busy week. One thing that stood out is that Elder Hill and I went on intercambios in Puerto de La Cruz with Elders Merril and Tiebing. That ended up being pretty fun. After hours, we made some cookies, talked, hung out, ate the cookies and just laughed around. Good night in general. On the intercambios itself, Elder Tiebing and I had a good time and were pretty busy. We talked to some pretty cool people and had the chance to hand a copy of The Book of Mormon out to this super cool kid that will probably become a new investigator pretty soon, so that was great. 

We also met with an investigator who was taught for a while and almost baptized but then moved to another island. She's back now and wants to continue investigating the church again. That has been really cool. We have also started teaching this super awesome woman named Lucía who is super cool. She is very interested, and I'm excited to see how things go with her. When we first found her,

she was really excited. When we gave her The Book of Mormon, she started reading it that night. Later on, she told us that literally 2 days before, she prayed to God to receive guidance and direction, and that she really felt like the we are an answer to her prayers. So that is super cool.

I figured I'd give you guys a little update on the district. Everyone is doing really well, and the new missionaries are adjusting really well to the field. They all have a lot of desires to work hard and share the gospel. In the past, we have had trouble finding new investigators, so as a district, we are going to be focusing more on talking to everyone at every opportunity and teaching miniature versions of the restoration in the street with the people we talk to. We are also focusing a lot on working with active and less active members. 

So, I wanted to give you guys an update on how I'm going to be using Facebook. One thing I have seen a lot of missionaries do is start posting spiritual messages either daily or weekly. So I'm going to start doing that. My plan at this point is to share a message for every part of the 5 lessons. For example, yesterday I shared a message about how God is our lovingHeavenly Father. Soon, I'll share a message about how the gospel blesses families. Then I'll keep doing that until I have written about everything. As always just keep liking and sharing my posts, so we can spread it to as many people as possible! 

Ok that's about it for this week. As always, if there is any questions you guys have or anything you want to know, shoot me an email. I'll give you a heads up.

Love you all! Till next week!
