Steezin'

Well it has officially been 2 months and I'm still loving it! Not too much happened this week. It is still hot and humid, iguanas and lizards are everywhere, and I still don't know how to speak Spanish. (Although it is getting better.)

We have been teaching a few people this week. I think I mentioned last week but one of the families we are teaching is the Bishop's family. We taught a small lesson about the Restoration and The Book of Mormon to them on Friday. They all seemed pretty interested and I think we can keep making progress with them. It helps to have the Bishop involved so he can help remind them about important invitations and events. We are meeting with them again tomorrow!

We have also been teaching a lady named Sandy. She owns a really cool shop where they make these little statues. They're called "choca statues". Anyways, we teach her in her shop and it is awesome. She is super interested and loves having us around, the only problem is we can't get her to come to church. She is the nicest person and loves everything we have to teach, but she values her Sundays and it is tough to get her to church. It will happen though! 

This week we had 2 people come up to us in the street and told us they wanted to hear our message. We taught them a few things and they were interested. Only bad thing is they are in the Macuspana ward and not our ward (Libertad). We helped them with their questions and are hoping they can find their answers in the Book of Mormon. 

I finished the Book of Mormon again this last week and it is still the best book around. I learn something new every time I read it. Every time I have a question or a doubt I receive an answer in the Book of Mormon. I really love Moroni 10:5 and the power it has. "And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things." I think about this scripture every day and I am always sharing it with the people here. I know that through the Holy Ghost you can find the answer to all things. 

That's it for this week, Happy Thanksgiving! Love you all!

I've still got it! My companion was telling me how the claw machines are rigged and nobody can win. So I showed him how it was done on my first try. Totally worth the 5 pesos.

There are iguana's everywhere!
