Hola familia y amigos!
Well this week was another normal week it just went by super fast. I was super surprised. There were some really surprising things that I learned this week, like that Winnie the Pooh is of the devil, because if you put pooh in a calculator it says 400d, which means 400 demons, and that Shakira is Satan's wife, haha! This came when we contacted these two girls who asked us questions to see if first we could talk to them, like if we believe in God, Christ and the Holy Ghost, and they said that their mom says they aren’t supposed to receive visits from the Jehovah's Witnesses or the Mormons. It was funny to see their reaction when we told them who we are. They go to a big church here called the Cosecha, and they also said Barney is evil and that the guy in charge of Coca Cola made a pact with the devil, so they aren’t allowed to drink Coke, and they believe it all because they read it on the internet! Just shows you what people are willing to believe.

Well this week wasn’t very productive again. We are still waiting for papers to get a couple married that we are teaching. We actually found a new family that seems really interested. The husband lives in New Orleans and he was baptized a couple months ago, and we showed up to the house of his wife and kids, She has had some dreams and knows that this is what she needs in her life, so it’s really interesting how things are developing there. The only problem is that they didn’t go to church yesterday. It was a bad day yesterday because we only had 60 people at church, normally we have 100. When it rains here no one goes to church which is kind of depressing, but we are trying to get the ward a lot stronger. This last week I went out with the Stake Patriarch to visit some people, and we found a guy that seemed interested, although he, like a lot of people, say that whoever speaks of God is welcome. Afterward we went to see an inactive member who the Patriarch is very familiar with and we noticed she wasn’t doing so well so we gave her a blessing of comfort, which seemed to help a lot.
Well this week wasn’t too great. I’m still uncomfortable in my companions ability to teach and contact. It seems like he does it by motion, like a robot, and when people have a question he jumps right on it without letting them finish their sentence. He talks a lot and it’s still hard for us to find a groove, but hopefully this week will be better. I hope everyone has a great week and a great Valentine’s Day tomorrow!
