(Please forgive the many typos)

Hello everyone! This past week was BLISTERING Hot, sorta like every other day here but it just felt hotter this past week. So I realized last week that I haven’t been writing about the people that we are teaching! So this letter will have a lot about our investigators. 

First is an update on the Family Vaque. They have talked about getting married and are still working on a decision. 

Next is a sister and brother whose names are Maria Jose and Luis. She has 22 years and he has 14 years. They have had 4 lessons with us and really like hearing the message about the gospel and really understand the message, but have a difficult time coming to church. They read in the Libro de Mormón and pray but don’t come to church. 

Another is a man named Bryan Mario. He has 16 years and LOVES the Book of Mormon and the Plan of Salvation. But he is mom doesn’t want him to go to church because she needs his help with her work. So we are trying to work with the mom to give him permission to go to church

And the last are two kids in a family whose parents are members but the kids are not. Their names are Genisis and Berto. She has 17 years and he has 12 years. We have taught them two times and the seem to like talking about the gospel and they know that their parents want them to get baptized, they just are scared of commitment, we are working stpe by step with them and are hoping to get them ready for commitment! 

We teach so many other people too, but those are the ones that are progressing the most. Through this past week I have been thinking a lot about the attributes of Jesus Christ. I love studying that because he is the perfect example for us. One example is after he suffered for the sins of everyone in the Garden of Gethsemane. He suffered literally every pain of the world and was betrayed by one of his apostles. And when the guards came to take him and Peter cut the ear of the guard, Jesus Christ healed the guards ear. It is incredible to think about the kindness of and example Jesus Christ is to us. And I invite everyone to try to follow the example of the Savior more. 

If you guys have any questions about my mission, please email me them! I will answer them next week! Thanks for the support and love everyone!
