The First Week of the Second Change Is Now Over

How goes everyone?

So this past week was pretty good. We extended baptism invitations to 4 people this past week, Luis Gutierrez, and older guy who has been progressing pretty well, and Jose and two of his kids, who we only had our first actual lesson with on Saturday. None of them accepted because they wanted to find out more and find out for themselves of its truthfulness, but we are hopeful to get baptism dates with them during this week sometime. 

So as you might know, or maybe not, Elder Atkin his companion Elder Diaz are in the same Rama as Elder Garcia and I. So we get to see them a lot, which is awesome. But Elder Diaz is Elder Atkin's new trainer, and he is from Buenos Aires, Argentina. So that was cool to find out that he is from Dad's mission!

But Luis Gutierrez is probably our best progressing investigator we have right now. Everytime we have set a time to meet with him, he is always there waiting for us with his Book of Mormon open! And our last lesson we had with and Hermano Valenzuela from our Rama he actually prayed with us! So that was awesome! But he still wants to have more time to study and learn before he commits to being baptized.

And this other lady we have been visiting, Elda, who has a type of throat cancer, is super awesome and nice! Her whole family is incredibly nice! They have been providing us with dinner the last two times we have gone to meet with them, though we haven't had the opportunity to share too much about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. The next time we go on Wednesday we are going to teach them about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon and commit them to baptism as well! So we are hoping and praying that everything goes well with them.

On Saturday, there was a big "Noche Cultural Mexicano" with the whole stake in Nueva Rosita, and we had one investigator go, Sofia from the Velasquez familia! They had a big program with dances of different styles in Mexico, because every state has its own unique style. A lot of people came and it was packed there!

So what's new? We bought a Christmas tree! Just a tiny little guy... But hey! it's a Chrsitmas tree! Also I got a haircut so that's different. 

But that's about it for the past week! Love you all!

Hello people! So back once again here. Let's get into this letter. Which won't be too long because there isn't much too say. So on Wednesday, I went on a quick intercambio with Elder Diaz, who I was with for a time in Sabinas. So that was awesome, though the people that went looking for weren't home. And then after we ended the exchange and went to a FHE with our most recent convert Lalo and his family. We invited this missionary who served in this mission before who happened to be here to come. But then him and his bishop turned our FHE into their business proposal... So that was interesting. There was this person that we were teaching, Diana, who was really open and interested. The only problem was, that her parents are very, very against us. So that was a big bummer. She can't progress right now because of her parents. And Saturday was a busy day as well. We had our cita with Gaby, who is interested, but doesn't want to come to church. And finding...
