Siguiendando el camino por toda su vida, respira.-- September 29, 2014

So this week hasn't been the most exciting week ever, but hey! We have some pretty good potentials we've had cool experiences with, so its really been a good week!

Well lets go through talking about people then.  The white handbook says I can't ask you guys to fast for things here, but I can ask you to pray for people!

Cesar Pabón- From the sisters. I've talked about him, but he hasn't been to church.  He keeps saying he'll come but we haven't seen him yet.  He's so cool! And we're afraid he's looking for a church that fits exactly what he believes.  So we're hoping that we can bring him to church and have him see all of it.

Familia Císneros- So they're not investigators yet, but we've prayed in their house two times.  First we prayed for her brother who is detained in El Paso, then we prayed for her son who had appendicitis.

Familia Bobadilla- Her mom who is a member is coming in November!  Potential is there! We gave her the church address so she could give it to her mom.  

Patricia García- We have an appoinment with her for Wednesday!

Well that's all I want to mention there for now.  We're trying to work in the Northern part of our area, because that is where houses are and people who will progress.  We know it!  That is where those three families are and we are tired of everything being slow in this area, so we're just trying to find those people that are ready.  The problem is finding them.

We're going to the Fort Bend County Fair today, so I'll end soon so we can be off and finish all that we need to.  I love y'all and know this gospel is true.  We just have to have patience here, because we had interviews this week, and as president said, there haven't exactly been the most obedient missionaries in this area before, and well, the branch notices.  It gets annoying when we're trying to gain the trust of the members and branch president's wife just says the missionaries can't speak Spanish.  Nobody has confidence in us, so we're starting a class to study the scriptures and we're going to teach it until we get a teacher from the ward.  That will show them we speak Spanish and know the gospel!  Well being on a mission has to make me pretty assertive sometimes, but hey, sometimes that is what we need.

Prayer is amazing and keeps us going.  And I've been bad at taking pictures, so I'll make sure to take some today! Love y'all!
