week 26 Life is a roller coaster... ain't that a fact!

(No pics from tanner this week, the computers had viruses and he didn't want to risk loosing all his pics off his camera, so i got this pic off another elders blog)  

this week has been filled with ups and downs but one thing that is great..... the ups always win!!! haha there is things that we need to build here, for example the AREA! it is really slow and we cant seem to keep investigators! but hey that doesnt stop us!! sad news... Alcides left for argentina..  he will be there for a month... he wants to be baptized when he gets back and thats good! I have faith that he will stay faithful! pray for alcides! but ya that was hard..... to say bye, because we have become such good friends! i swear we were prepared to know each other before this life! it is a huge blessing to have that knowledge and that testimony!   he will be fine! he has a super super strong testimony!! that will help him a lot and SEEYA IN A MONTH BROTHA! love that guy! 

this weeek we realized we are stuck in a routine and we need to spark things up a bit! so we (elder Andrade and myself) decided to try some new things! for example, for contacting we did it different! we sang at peoples doors, did service with out being asked, told stories and jokes!! it was super fun and it made those people feel way more comfortable with us!! this not only helped our reationship but helped our work have a flare too it! So we are going to be doing a bunch of different things like that to reach out to people!! it was awesome!! this really turned our week around!! i wasn't a robot with the script i was my self and had fun with it!!! its the best!!  

this week i got to be apart of a little play in a relief society, guess who i was?! Joseph Smith haha! it was aweesome!! we had a blast and i have to say i make a pretty good Smith! it was super fun with those ladies! 

yes we lost alcides for a bit, but we found Sonia! she is a lady that really needs our message!! she came to church and everything!! it was amazing! we decided to pray when we were contacting one day and we asked, "please put someone in our path that needs our help," and right when we finished, her door opened!!!! it was amazing!!! we are teachiog her and she is doing great!!! the power of prayer is real!!! i love this gospel and its truths and gifts!! really is a huge blessing"!!!!
