Hola Todos!

This week was great and I love it here! Elder Weinmuller and I are working super hard and teaching a bunch of people -- which in all honesty is he teaches a bunch of people and I just sit there and look pretty, and testify about things. Maybe share the occasional scripture. Pretty much the MTC is there to make you think you learned some Spanish. I love it though! I am learning so much everyday. 

We had a baptism scheduled for this week for Yerilaisis (names in this country :/ ) but her aunt got super sick and she went to the hospital to go visit her. We had to set it for this saturday. I'm not worried though, she is a super awesome investigator and studies everything we give her. She may actually know the lessons better than I do. We are probably going to get at least 2, maybe up to 6 baptisms before I finish my training.

We don't get a lot of referrals which are usually the best investigators, so we have to do a lot of contacting. Contacting in this country is easy but hard at the same time. Let me explain: The people are super nice and almost everybody lets us in. They listen to our message. Invite us to come back.... but nobody keeps commitments to study or pray. So all in all, it's easy to teach lessons and get high numbers but those numbers don't mean a whole lot because not many of the people are progressing. I don't get discouraged though because we are doing all that we can do, which is all that we need to do. I also know that the Spirit can only guide us if we are moving. So that's what we do.

Talk to you all later!
