"This week was a solid week..."

Hola mi familia y mis amigos!

Como anda con todos? This week was a solid week. It wasnt a week where we taught a ton of lessons and stuff but we accomplished a lot. Part of the reason is that we dont have people we are teaching that are willing to act on what we are teaching. Its sad to see that you have something that can help some one more than anything else but God always takes second place to them. I have been studying the old testament a little during language study in spanish and i am at the part of the 10 commandments. I think if people really understood the 10 commandments and lived them it would change a lot. A lot of people say they know the 10 commandments but the only ones they keep are thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not steal. If people understood that the first two of the 10 commandments meant that if you put God ahead of your other persuits or problems that He will help you with the rest it would change some peoples lives.

Well anyway it was a good week. We spent a lot of time trying to find people that are ready to hear our message. Its kinda natural if you have the option to not go door to door clapping doors you take the other option, but this week instead of just looking for another person on the other side of the area we stayed where we were when plans fell through and clapped doors and we had some really good results. We are going to pass by some of them this next week. It shows that if you are willing to put your faith ahead of whats convinient you will recieve the blessing.

I have been getting some running in every morning which is great. I miss  sports so bad. I miss lacrosse like crazy but its worth it out here. plus I am learning a little bit of futbol. I was just playing with a bunch of latinos. they are all ridiculously good but i scored a goal so thats progress hahaha. Well this next week is transfers so we will see what happens. I could leave me area or i could recieve a new comp. you never know with transfers. Well nos vemos
