Hola mi querido familia!
Te amo mucho! My week was great! My companion and I are working very hard and our Readers our very pleased with us. It’s a good feeling to have on the mission because a lot of missionarys never are satisfied with there work. I know that there is always room for improvement and I keep myself motivated.
This week we had a great practice with the elders how we can find the problems of the investigators by asking a few simple questions. I felt like this practice really helped me and has made a big difference on the way my companion and I are teaching. I was able to put it into action and find out the needs of Estefanys and Emilio. He has been worried all this time about how and when he can ask Estefany for her hand in marriage. Haha! It’s cute and also irritating! Cute because he is a grown man scared as a little boy that Estefany will say YES!!! It’s irritating because I knew that that is a challenge that I would have and I knew that Emilio had this problem but I never thought about talking to him about it.
I don’t remember if I told you all but we had a very successful Sunday a week ago and had 11 investigators in the church! It was a great blessing from God for all our hard work.
Im excited for this christmas, it will be sweet, humble, and full of love and service. Always remember that I love you all, and that there is a missionary here in Chile that is praying for you. May God be with you. TE AMO!

Hola familia!
This week was fantastic! We are working hard and seeing lots of miracles! ELEVAN investigators attended church this week! That was so amazing! It was nice to see the fruits of all our work. I know this will help us see more baptisms. We were praying and fasting specifically for our investigators with baptism dates and we saw results. We ran into one of the elders investigators to get her excited to get baptized. Then the elders ran into ours to get him excited about baptism and to be his guardian angel when he decided not to drink when ColoColo was playing soccer. Then we finally talked to the mom of Michael and Sebastian so that they could get baptized and she was receptive.
Thanks to my leaders we were really focused on getting to know the needs of the people. I’m still trying to get this “Vision of Baptisms “that the Area President is talking about. I have been doing things backwards sometimes and focusing on other lessons like Word of Wisdom, Eternal Matrimony, Law of Chastity, the Restoration, the Sabbath Day and not focusing on the importance of baptism. I think it is because when I challenge the investigators to be baptized they usually understand that that is what God wants them to do so they accept to prepare for a specific date. Then we found out they have problems and are disobeying one of the commandments so it stops the process until they decide to be obedient.
Monday I was sad and confused and I didn’t know what to do. I had challenged a couple to be baptized a week before and they accepted but then Estefany said that she was confused and didn’t want me to pressure her to get married. Hermana Mirela said that it would be better if they chose a date to get married so then they don’t get mad at me latter if they decide to get divorced. But then my leaders say that we need to make the date challenge the people.
All I know is that I want to teach with more power and faith. I think that is what they are missing. Faith with action.
That’s all folks!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Ps I haven’t got any emails yet but I’m hoping the system will let me get all of your past emails another day. Don’t worry about me. I’m working hard and loving the mission. I might need you to send the email since november...
