Dear Papá, Mamá, Mikaela, Edén, Abe, Lily, y Sofia

This week, well it started off not the best but finished strong.  On Sunday we finally got an investigator to come to church with us.  She is really interested in learning more.  She said the other day as we were in a lesson that her beliefs are very Catholic, but she wants to do what is right and what God wants.  Every night before going to bed she reads out of the Book of Mormon, before she starts, she prays to ask God to help her understand what she is reading and if it is true.  We also found another person as we were in a sector slam for our stake center.  We each went on divisions with a missionary that was in the MTC here, to find less actives and new people to teach.  The first couple... well lets just say they had their own ideas about the church and how things worked, we tried to help clear up there ideas, but they didn´t like it all that much.  We left them with an invitation a smile and a prayer.  And then got ourselves hence!  As we were looking for the other less active we found a guy named Christian who was washing his car,  he said a long time ago he had spoken with the missionaries and almost got Baptised.  He now participates in the Catholic Choir tuesdays and thursdays, and feels comfortable there.  We talked with him for a while and gave him a book of mormon.  He said he will come to church with us next sunday.  He also invited us to come back next Saturday.  Woot Woot!

Today were changes Elder Weaver and I will still be trukin´ here in El Valle sa-weet.  Elder Erickson, the one from Eagle is moving out of the pention to a different sector though, so that was a little sad.  We heard from President today and he helped us be motivated to return form our missions a different person, to bury all distractions and rededicate.  I love President Laycock, I hope someday you would all have a chance to meet him...

Les amo con todo mi corazon
