This past week was good, but kind of tough. We've been teaching a lot and finding new investigators, but only one went to church yesterday. We've been struggling with finding investigators that are really going to progress, but we're not getting down on ourselves. We're just going to have faith and keep working hard and trust that the Lord will help us find the people that He is preparing. In my personal study this morning I was studying in Preach My Gospel in the chapter about finding people to teach. This week I am going to say hi to everyone that I see, and if they respond back to me nicely I'm going to talk with them. You can always talk to people about their family, whether they have a good one or bad one, and you can always relate the family to the gospel. Anyway, that is something I'm going to try to do different this week to find more people to teach.
Friday was "El Día de Amor"... which no one really celebrates here. An old lady in the ward asked me if I had a special someone waiting for me at home which I replied to her no, and she said, "OK... feliz día de amor igual" (happy valentine's day anyway) haha. Friday night we had a family home evening with a less-active family who moved back to Chile yesterday, and when we got there they had made tacos for us. They were really good. We watched the movie The Testaments... but their DVD didn't work too well and would skip 5 seconds every now and then... so the 65 minute movie lasted about 40 minutes haha. It was a lot of fun anyway.
I don't have a whole lot of time, so this is it for this week. I love you all! "Que la fuerza les acompañe."
