Day 328

¡Hola Familia!
I´m spending the pday in Trelew this week and i love it. it´s only 1/2 hour bus ride and we got together with 2 districts that are serving here. we are going to play some futbol pretty soon and i´m so excited to play again. last week was awesome going to the beach and we took some good pictures.
Manuel is doing great. I hope everything continues to go well so he can be baptized this Saturday. we asked him if he remembered the date of his baptism and he said ´´of course i do. the 24th!´´. that made me really happy and we are working with him every day to make sure that he is ready. he couldn´t come to church yesterday because it was his nieta´s birthday and he went to eat an asado with his family. we didn´t have anyone else in church but next week for sure, we will. i think that this week was the first week on my whole mission that i wasn´t able to find anyone... but i hope it is the last. we knocked a lot of doors but for some reason, not a lot of people were home. for the día de Rawson, the people celebrated with a huge parade in the street so we couldn´t do very much that day. we spent a lot of time outside because people weren´t answering the doors and we ended up getting a lot of sun. i´m now walking with short sleeve shirts and it feels so good outside :). it usually gets colder when the sun goes down but lately it´s been really nice.
this week was a little difficult and i shared this scripture with my comp.
Mosiah 23:21-22
21 Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to achasten his people; yea, he trieth their bpatience and their faith.
22 Nevertheless—whosoever putteth his atrust in him the same shall be blifted up at the last day. Yea, and thus it was with this people.
it came from a talk that i read by Elder Christofferson about willingly accepting and seeking correction with the trials that we have. we spent a lot of time in the street so we have been thinking about all the things that we can do better. we are re analyzing the way we do contacts and thinking of things we can do to plan better. we don´t have very much in our area because there aren´t many members in our area and we don´t have many investigators. we are going to fast this week because i think that will help us a lot.
but i know everything is going to go a lot better this week.
last monday i got my haircut and now a lot of people say i look like a movie star. do you guys think i look like someone? i don´t think so...i don´t know where that´s coming from but now i have a few snakes :). it just makes me laugh.
now the other missionaries are getting impatient with me so i have to go. we are going to eat and then play some ¡¡¡footchy-bol!!!
i love you guys! hasta luego!
con mucho amor y ánimo
