April 30, 2018

Zorritos is starting to pick back up a little more now and we're doing better. We've been finding some new people to teach lately so our days are starting to get a little bit busier. The only problem is that not too many of them are progressing. Some of our other investigators as well have decided to stop progressing which is frustrating. 

On the bright side, we have this one family that is super awesome and they are starting to progress. The only difficult thing will be getting them to church. 

Anyways, not too much is happening still and we're still trying to work super hard even though my companion goes home in 2 weeks. 

Love you guys and have a good week! Go Rockets!

How's it going? We had a much better week here and a lot more success. We were able to find some more people this week and some people are starting to progress now too. 

Our 16 year old investigator who we've been working super hard with to baptize recently was able to attend a baptismal service with us this week. He's just been afraid to make the decision so I think attending the baptism really helped him realize that it's not that scary. We'll be meeting with him tomorrow so we're hoping he'll finally make the decision. 

Other than those things, not much happened but we're looking forward to a good week here in Zorritos.

Love you guys!

So another week has passed in Zorritos. Not too much has happened here lately and the work has been moving a little slow. We haven't been able to find too many new people to teach and all of the people that were progressing are starting to slow down now. 

We did have a multizona this past week which was fun except for that I had to speak at it but it went pretty well. 

I don't really have more to say now but hope you guys have a good week and love you guys!

I've Never Walked So Much In My Life

Another week has passed by rapidly in Zorritos but this one was a little rougher than normal. I've never walked so much in my life. We had super difficult time finding new people to teach and just about all of our appointments fell through. It was pretty frustrating but we kept working hard and eventually saw some miracles. 

Something awesome did happen with one of our investigators this week though. We taught him about the Book of Mormon and gave him one and went back to house 2 days after to teach him some more. He ended up reading 11 chapters from it which was crazy! We found him pretty recently so we're hoping he can continue to progress and go to church soon. 

We have also have 2 people with baptismal dates for this week. We'll be visiting them all week to help them prepare but we might have to postpone their dates.

Other than that, not too much happened this week other than walking all day long.
Take care and love you guys!

ZORRITOS

Happy Late Easter! This week was another good one and I'm looking forward to 3 more months in Zorritos! We got transfers and found out that I'm staying and my companion finishes his mission this transfer which means I'll be here another transfer. 

General Conference was super awesome and all the Americans got to watch it English together in a little room was cool. We also had air conditioning which made it even better haha. I really did learn a lot though.

We still have some progressing investigators and all they need to do to get baptized is tell us yes so we're waiting for that. We're thinking about just dragging some of them out to the ocean and baptizing them there pretty soon haha. Anyways, I'm looking forward to more time in Zorritos and hope to see a lot of success.

Take care and love you guys!
