Well this week was a little sad but at the same time pretty cool! This week we had an investigator that was going to get baptized this Saturday but she, like last week, got super busy with her family and lot`s of other stuff and she couldn`t go to her interview. She is super determined to get baptized it`s just right when she`s going to take that first step something happens and she can`t do it. My companion and I have done all possible to help her, we had planed to visit her before her interview and also we had been calling, but her phone is broken so that was useless. We were kind of upset that day but the miracle of the week is that our numbers didn`t go down actually they went up! we had a ton of lessons with members and that same day of the interview we found three news! Also we had visited some members and helped them to feel the spirit and to remember the importance of some things! So it was pretty cool!

Well this week has been pretty interesting! because well we had a baptism planned for this saturday but it didn`t happen because Melissa got super busy! from Tuesday the day we saw her until saturday in the morning we didn`t see her or teach her, and her brother had her phone so we couldn`t call her either, she literally disapeared! but we found her saturday morning and she told us that she was super sad that she couldn`t get baptized and she explained what had happened. She`s still super excited to get baptized actually she defended the church against her grandma from the states! she said that the church is a sect and Melissa told her ^How can they be a sect if they only believe in god? ^ and after a bunch of other stuff she told us at the very end she told her Gma that what ever happenes I`m getting baptized in this church!!!! she´s pretty cool! The rest of the week has been pretty good the best day of the week was Sunday because We had taught three amazing lessons with Less actives and their families! The spirit was so just en every one of them I just hope that they can make the best decisions!

Flight plans :)

Dear Brother Durrant, Sister Durrant, Bishop Siufanua and President Newman,

Well this week was pretty cool! My companion and I have been trying to work as much as could witht he members this week like take them to appointments, etc. You couldn`t really see it very well in our numbers but they were there with us almost everyday looking for their friends, taking them to appointments that we had. It kinda sucked because almost every apointment that we had fell when we were with members but we had a lovely time getting to know the members a little more and finding out more about the history of our area! Also we`ve got an investigator thats progressing, actually she was supposed to get baptized this Saturday but she didn`t go to the stake conference so we had to postpone for the 21st of may! But she went to church yesterday so she`s going to get baptized this weekend!!! Awesome also with La hermana Erika we had talked to her and found out that she hasn`t really been reading the Book of Mormon so we`re with her on that! 

Ya that sounds like a good plan! 

It`s also your birthday!!!!!! Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!! 

No don`t worry about it I`ll be home soon enough.

Well this week was a pretty cool week! Melissa just keeps progressing it kinda sucks because her baptizme was for the 14th but shes didn`t come to church this week so her date fell but the 21st she`s going to get baptized! But other then that we got to see a baptizm of the Elders en my distict! Also I got to interview him, He`s a really good kid and has some really good goals! Then we had a stake conference in which a seventy came and gave an amazing talk! He said so much in so little time but it was truely amazing and it`s helped me make some more goals for the future! 

The transfers were good! I didn`t get transfered! 

May 2,2016

Well this week was pretty awesome! my companion and I decided to follow the advice of our President and start asking references from everybody even from the people we just barely met! As we starting doing it we didn´t see very much success but after we kept doing it asking everybody for refereces we found some people the gave us like 3-5 refereces in one and others 1 or 2 or nohing at all but at the end of the week my companion and I had 21 references! and we had been trying to contact all of the references we haven´t been able to contact all of them but we´re in the process and it´s really cool becasue a lot of the mpeople that we contact had either listened to the missionaries before or they were excited to meet us! so It was an awesome experience. Also we´ve got a couple investigators that are progressing and they are amazing! One of them´s called Erika I´ve talked about her before but she just keeps going and is amazing! and the other her name´s Melissa and she´s so cool, she reads every pamphlet that we give her and she doesn´t ever stop reading the book of mormon! it´s amazing! 

So Can we skype on saturday? President said it would be better if we could call on Saturday because of transfers but if you guys can´t it´ll have to be Sunday in the afternoon! ¿Saturday in the morning or Sunday in the after church

Well this week was pretty great, First off because we had an awesome trainning with President and his assistance! We learned so much about how we need to act in finding new people and how it should be part of us and not just something we do! Also we learned a lot on how we need to treat all of the sons and daughters of God! It was truely amazing! Then two days later I got a call from the assistance, they told me they wanted to do and interchange with my companion and I. So I ended up going to trujillo to the area of the assistance with Elder Stephens, and Elder Sanchez came down to be with my companion. In this interchange i learned a lot! The biggest thing I learned in this interchange is how we need to love everybody! And Also Learned a little on how we need to take more responsibility for the things we are in charge of.

La hermana Erika no pudo bautizar porque tiene algunas duda todavía acerca de los diezmos y quiere tener un testimonio un poquito más fuerte de la Iglesia, pero tiene deseos de bautizar so algunas cositas! Otro que eso todo estaba muy bien esta semana y tenemos algunos investigadores quienes están progresando muy bien!

April 11,2016

Well this week was pretty cool! This week my companion and I have been visiting a lot of members this week and doing somthing that we call 1x1. It`s when we go to the house of the members with a book of mormon. So what we do with it is that, with the members, we share our favorite verses in the book and we mark them with a highlighter. Afterwards we read the verse and share the reason why we like it(All of the people in the lesson participate). Then we leave the Book with them and also we make a goal with them that they can read these verses with one of their friends and give the book to them. Now what we`ve got to do is go and do some follow up to see how it`s going adn to encourage them! Also I had the opportunity to have a work visit with Elder Weber, in this work visit we talk about a lot of things and we both came out really edified. He helped me see the importants of make little goals and working little by little. We`ve also got an investigator whose going to get baptized this saturday!!! she`s super awesome and excited to get bapized her name is Erika! :D 

No I haven`t gotten it yet... 

ours starts at 8 am! 

It`s really good! I like it! 

Not really I haven`t herd very much about missionaries getting suits.
