November 1st Weekly Letter

Wow. This week absolutley blew by. What happened. I dont even remember. We worked a lot in the office. Finished up the rent and asignacion adn debts of missionaries and lots of things. President was out of town all week so i could go to the bank. He went to a conference in Brazil at a waterfall place for mission presidents pretty cool. 

Not much is new our investigators are stagnant right now. Making up dumb excuses and being lazy. But  i know carlos will come around soon. 

We did nt work much this week in our area gracias a algunas cosas pero mas que nada el trabajo en la oficina. I have been dead. 

Oh i remember now. I have been praying for more opporutunities to do service. We havent done service hardly at all. In fact my last service activity was in NQN Oeste 1 year ago when we built the house. This week we got our moneys worth with service! I was super pumped. We went and painted the inside ceiling of a familys house. It took 3 days and a total of about 15 hours of service to finish and were still not completely done but it was so much fun. We stained the wood i guess its called. A dark mahogany. Looked nice. A very nice house i must say but we had a lot of fun between me elder cardenas castillo and da silva painting and messing around and just enjoying some good service and hard work. They gave us dinner every night after we finished for the day.

ANother thing that happened this week was that the old lady who comes in the office and helps with stuff punched me in the face and my companion in the back of the head. Your probably thinking.....hmmmm. what? But yeah it happened. We didnt do anything wrong she just got mad and thoguht we locked her out of hte office and came storming in and kicked our door open and punched us haha. Nothing too grave but super funny. The lady is seriously crazxy in the head. I feel bad for her as she cant control herself so were trying not to tell many people about what happened. It wasnt just me and my comp but one of the asistants was there as well so its wasnt too bad. But man i am just still trying to believe it. 

I have been thinking this week a lot about all the blessing i have recieved and really just how grateful i am for everything. Family, friends, gospel, opporutunities, etc. I will always be in debt to my father in heaven and my savior. And so with thaty in my mind what can i possibly do if i will always be in debt? I can do what he asks of me. He doesnt expect us to be perfect. Were going to mess up a lot. But if we repent and keep going and doing our absolute best we will be happier and enjoy the blessings of the gospel and achieve our potential. The church is true. i love the gospel. I love every one of you and hope you can also enjoy the gospel every single day and see the blessings in your lives!!!

Love yall have a great week!
