Hna Infanzon and I :) in the back of the capilla
Dear family and friends,
I have had a fantastic week. Hna Infanzon and I have been working hard for weeks but having some frustrating challenges where members commit to go out with us and then cancel at the last minute. We are encouraged to have a member with us in every visit for several reasons but mainly so they can befriend our investigators so that they really feel included in the church. (It`s hard enough to start going to a new church where they maybe don`t know anyone, maybe trying to kick a bad habit at the same time, without feeling like you`re alone in the process. If you`re new and your only friends are the missionaries, it`ll be tough when those missionaries change to a different area.) The members` role is to provide testimony and true fellowship. But until this week, we`d been having a lot of challenges getting them out in the field with us. We worked, pulling out all the stops, day after day this week and have seen so many blessings from the Lord.
Maybe the most amazing blessing we`ve enjoyed (next to finding members to go out with us in key moments) is how many people we have found who want to hear the message of the restored gospel. We`re also teaching between 20 and 30 people each week in our English class in the capilla. It`s been a great way to bring people inside to see inside the church and feel the Spirit in this sacred, dedicated building.
I love you all. Watch for the `tender mercies` of the Lord in your life. Moments when you feel the Lord almost taps you on the shoulder to say, `I love you.`

Me with Hna Campos and her daughter. They`re actually from another ward but we met them in the chapel and like to visit them where they sell in the mercado on P-days. This is from last P-day. Hna Campos always tells us, `Your mothers are far away. While you are here I will be your mom. Call me anytime, for anything. I have to take care of you for your mothers.` :) she`s the best. She has a daughter on a mission in Guatemala.
Teaching the game `this is a very serious and solemn occasion` to our zone today.
Hahaha I laughed until I cried...
Today the zone ate lunch all together. A member of barrio Apopa makes and sells pizzas grandes for $6. This is a foto of the hermanas with their pizzas. We`ll be eating pizza again for dinner tonight. :)
