(Mom here - This was the week I forgot to write - he was not happy!! Can't say I blame him!)

I don´t have a ton to share. This week was really long. My comp is getting lazier and lazier every day. i read a scripture that made me think of him. moroni 9 verse 4   [Behold, I am laboring with them continually; and when I speak the word of God with ^asharpness they tremble and anger against me; and when I use no sharpness they ^bharden their hearts against it; wherefore, I fear lest the Spirit of the Lord hath eased ^cstriving with them.] 

We made our goal and found 8 new investigators this week. 

I had to give an impromptu talk in sacrament meeting yesterday. it turned out good though. i used a scripture i had memorized. i think its alma 13´26. about how angels are preparing the hearts of men to hear the gospel. sorry i dont really have any guidance for what to write about...nissa went to the temple this past weekend which was good, but then she lied to us and said her mom didnt have gasoline to take her to church yesterday. o well. blehhhhhhhh one more week. maddie still hasnt heard from provo yet_ i dont have an exclamation mark on this computer

 

love ya wish i had more to say this week but youre busy with dom so youll survive!!

We found 558 as a mission which is super good. we found 8 as a companionship, and the goal was 7, so we beat it. a few of them are really good and im excited about. 2 of them tried to sell us amway, a pyramid scheme business...we said no no we cant do that we´re missionaries, and they kept trying so hard to convince us that its ok if we just bought a little, and sold some to our other missionary friends...

i have a few more pics but we´re in elche right now and i forgot my camera cord. we dont do much for pday, because none of us have money to travel, and elder leon is super lazy and wants to either play soccer or do nothing. 

im pretty sure im leaving because president said something to me about when i train, and also when i said goodbye to his wife she said ´see you soon´which im assuming meant see you in malaga in a couple of weeks when you come pick up your new missionary. but yeah i guess i could stay.

this was probably the worst week elder _____ has had. super lazy. it was hard this week because we had no lessons set bcause we were just trying to find new people. so we were just walking around all day and he would just complain the whole time and then not want to go back out and stuff. it was a week the whole mission set aside to be extremely obedient, and he was just the exact opposite. im making sure this week we have a lot of things to do though so it should be better.
