Hello family! Everything sounds like it went good with Grandpa´s funeral.  I´m sure everyone learned a lot about his life full of service and could appreciate what he did for his family and friends.  So grateful for that example in my life!

This week was really hard but it was good.  We are really being diligent to find people and be obedient.  We found a few people and hopefully we can see some fruits of our labors soon! Elder Wilson and I are really trying hard because we just want 1 baptism together before he goes back to the States in January.  I really hope we will be able to get it.  And I think we will! There is a family with a mom and 3 sons, but only the mom (Cecilia) and the youngest son (Andres) listen to our lessons. They are both really interested though! I think Andres will for sure get baptized and hopefully the mom will.  And if they get baptized maybe that will soften the hearts of the two older sons! A couple days ago we painted a room in their house and that was a great experience!  When we were painting we were talking to the oldest son, Fabian, who is 22.  He is always smoking weed and even when we were painting he was as high as a kite.  He is kind of a bum-actually no he is a straight bum haha- but when were painting we casually asked him if he could replace smoking weed with something productive would he do it and he replied with "yeah for sure" so he still has hope to fix up his life and it would be so amazing if we could help him change!!

We haven´t heard from Nancy since she came to church 2 weeks ago.  She is working all the time and she is never home or answers her phone.  Satan is really trying hard with her and she just doesn´t have any time which is so sad. We are still teaching her daughter Stephanie and Stephanie´s boyfriend Luigi which is great though.  They just moved out of the Nancy´s apartment yesterday so it´ll be interesting for them to have their own separate apartment.  They´re not married though so this week we have planned to teach them the law of chastity.  OHHH I wonder how it´s going to go hah I hope it goes well.

I´m so happy for this opportunity I have to serve.  I´m grateful for my family and the examples I´ve had in my life.  I´m grateful for Christ and that we have a Savior and a way to repent and be better.  I know that through the gospel of Christ we can achieve a happiness that is more full and profound then any type of temporal happiness.  I hope we can all be grateful for Christ and the Atonement this month.  I love everyone and Josh my brotha happy birthday!!
