What's up fellas? This week was
kinda slow but we had a lot of fun. First off it's been very rewarding to
continue to work with Pascual and his family. They are making lots of progress
and there is a special feeling in their home. Pascual told us this week about
some goals he's made recently. He is planning on saving money with his wife so
they can buy a house and move their family out of their mobile home. He works
as a welder and actually makes a lot of money, but in the past he blew a lot of
it on beer. Now he's using that money to put his family in a better
neighborhood. The Gospel not only helps people be happier, but also helps them
achieve their goals.
As well not too much happened
besides the fact that we knocked lots of doors. We didn't really find any solid
people to teach but we'll keep at it and they'll come. The prepared people are
out there, we just have to find them. I have learned that we can't force the
issue as missionaries. If people don't want it, we move on. It's as simple as
that. Find out what people want or are looking for, help them understand that
the Gospel will help with that and promise specific blessings.

| Going away party for the Stabio family |
On Friday we went to a going away
party for the Stabio family. They are a super cool family that is going up to
the University of Wisconsin so the father can get his master's degree in
business. The wife didn't speak any Spanish 4 years ago, but then they decided
to attend a Spanish ward and her hand was forced. So she learned and now speaks
it better than a lot of the missionaries that come through here. They are good
examples to me of a strong family that loves, serves, and does all they can to
live a quiet, Christlike life. I want to be that type of member when I return
from my mission.
That's about it from here. Ándale
pues!
