This week went A LOT better than the past couple of weeks have gone. All the the vacations and holidays are finally over so we can finally find people at home. I haven't really told you about anyone we're visiting right now so I'll fill you guys in. We're visiting a 15 year old kid named Ramses. A lot of his aunts and uncles are members but him and his family aren't. He's really cool and mature for his age and he has a baptism date for he 6th of Feb. We're also visiting a family named the familia Murioki. They're a family of 7, all daughters from the ages 20 to 8. They have a baptism date for the 6th of Feb. Another family we're visiting is a family of 10. The mom is only 28 but she already has 8 kids... We're also visiting a part member family where the dad is an ex missionary but now has a drinking problem, but he wants to stop so we're helping him out with that. We're visiting a lot more people but those are the important ones right now.
This week I was really able to see the application of the equation (Hard Work+Obedience)*Trials=Blessings. These past couple of weeks have really been trials for us but we passed so now God is blessing us. Also, with it being New Years and everything I've been focusing a lot of putting goals. I'm reading a book right now called "Drawing Upon the Powers of Heaven". It says that goals should the method, not the end. (I'm reading the book in spanish so I don't know if I translated that okay). But goals have really helped me bring more of a focus in my mission on the things that matter most. I love you all!
