We have been working a lot with the family Castillo, they are the two cute girls that we bauptized last week. we have been working to help there dad open up to us because he is really reserved.. not rude not shy just quite really he reminds me of my brother in law Trevor a lot!!! Haha like a lo!!!. but anyways we have been talking with him and just befriending him not really teaching much a little but we don't want to force it on him so it was his birthday this Saturday.. the same day as grandpa bud! Haha Dad I didn't forget! And so we went to there house in the morning to bake a cake while he was at work. and it was really good he came home and he wanted us to stay for lunch and he was like a chatter box! We couldn't stay for long because we had a lunch planned but we stayed for awhile and talked he has been doing a lot of research sobre utah and Perú haha because that is where me and hna Pari are from and he said that he has found the way to ger to hna paris lugar but mine no haha he said that he got to Mexico and then was lost.. it was funny!! But yesterday we went to there house to have a lesson and we talked with his wife for like ever and we have a plan so that we can start teaching! It is really good because his wife knows what we are doing and she is going to help!! So I would love if you all kept this family in your prayers!!
With my hijos haha Carlos and Alex, the two menos activos that we have been working with a lot!!! Well this week was really great Alex really opened up to us so we know what is up and can help him and Carlos is improving more and more everyday!! It its hard because Satan is doing all that he can to keep these two away from the church... but they are both so strong and I know that they will pull though!!! They are both really honest with us and it is good because we are really able to help them! This is one of my favorite parts of the work here is helping the less active members!! Really is is so joyful to see the light of Christ and his spirit enter back into to someones eyes!!! Well yesterday we headed to Alex's to teach him and his sister Melani and we where standing in the door and Melani opened the door and she had been crying I took her in my arms and she just cried for like 25 minutes in my arms.. turns out that that night he dad passed away from a heart attack... super sad we haven't been able to talk to Alex because he is in Bolivia with his mom getting his dad and everything because he died in Bolivia.. and it is hard because we are just hoping the best and that Alex isn't a complete wreck... But we have helped him and he know where to turn he understand that he has to turn to his Heavenly Father to receive the help that he need!! Also keep them in your prayers!
Well this week really has been a great one hard as always but great I love the work! I love serving the Lord and being the instrument in his hands to bring the gospel to his children.. I always say to my comp, "tenemos un gran privilegio para trabajar en este obra" and it is true!! I am here to serve the Lord and give him all that I have for these next 13 months!! Oh my that is weird to say. But as always I know that this church is true!! HELP THE MISSIONARIES IN YOUR AREA!! They really do need your help!! And never be afraid to share this message!!! Love you all so much!!! Talk to you next week! (on Dexter's birthday!! oh my I can't believe that also!)
