Hola Texas
¿Como estan? Bueño este semana ha sido un buen semana. Tenemos 5 fechas por bautismo ahora. Si usteds recuerdan hermana flor la chica con su esposo que quiso a matarnos fue loco pero tengo un historia chevery entonces todo esta bien. . Well this week was good. I thought I would write in a little spanish to give yall some kicks but I realized I only have like 10 minutes left cuz my comp made us late to internet, he woke up late and showered long but oh well I'm not going to get on to him hard cuz its p day and he didn't sleep well. If you guys remember Sister Floor well we were walking and she passed us and said hey what happened we were waiting for you guys for our baptism on the 25th.  We were shocked, so ya we are teaching them again with permission from the zone leaders but I still dont feel good about it.  We found a part member family name familia Luna. The mother is a member but no one else and has been less active for years.  We found their house and the mother and her 18 year old daughter Shayla both came to church and the members were great and I think the mother really realized how much she missed going to church and Shayla instantly made like 30 friends which was perfect cuz she is preparing for baptism .  We have been teaching this woman Teofila, her kids.  Her husband works most days so it's hard to teach with him so we teach outside cuz we can't enter there house or anything but it was so cool the family accepted to get married and then baptized which is about 5 people right there. Then Teofila gave us a reference to teach her parents who live right above them, I say above cuz in Peru here they all live in hills . They accepted to be married and baptized along with Teofilla.  It kinda shocked me that they weren't married but had like 5 kids and were like 60 years old but the families can't afford to get married because part it's really expensive and well they are poor as dirt.  So we are pretty psyched about the potential baptisms that we have. By the way for missionaries you will have goals for baptisms every month but once you get baptism dates for that month get more for the next month cuz one month you might have 0 but if you set youself up well the next month you can have 10 for example we only have about 5 people that will get baptized this month but we have about 15 potential baptism for the next month.  The only problem is some of them fall through but still you have to learn to think not just about the present but about the future. Anyway on another note my comp had a work visit with the zone leader and I was with the other zone leader in his area and ya it was all good but in like the middle of the night I woke up and but ran to the bathroom and had diariah for like an hour then I went back to bed then like 10 min later I got up and just threw up and the same repeated the next day. I'm confused on how I got sick actually, I didn't drink or eat anything bad and I felt great the whole day but oh well my comp was real good to me when I was sick but it sucked cuz I couldn't work as hard as I wanted to oh well part of life I guess. Anyway who tried  my picture of Christ idea?  Its not just to help people resist temptation its to help your minds be more Christ centered. Often times we lose focus on the things that really matter that is eternal life right. Well because of Christ we Can have eternal life.  It doesn't mean that we will but that we CAN so Dad, Mom, River, Ireland, Ridge, Oakley Mokely and everyone try that this week please and I promise you that you will feel something different.  I am going to try to do that for the rest of my life. I love it  makes me just think of how much I love Christ and if there is one thing that I would like to share with you guys now its that I know HE lives! I know that Jesus Christ the Son of God lives. I know that He is my Redeemer and that He suffered for my sins and the sins of all mankind.  He Lives just think about that, He literaly LIVES .  I know it with all my heart. 
Have a good week everyone !!
