Hey hey hey, how's everybody doing?! Hope you're having a good week. Things have been going good here. The weather is getting nice. We've been in short sleeve shirts a few times which has been really really sweet! We got freaking DUMPED on with rain a few days ago, that was brutal. But everything has been going well. Money got reloaded today, so we're finally going shopping at WAL MART where we can actually afford to buy stuff! Thank goodness. Man, I don't remember what I told you all about last week and what has happened since then, but if I tell you something again, sorry.
Dionicio is doing good. He's trying real hard to stop smoking, but it's really hard for him when everyone at his work smokes on their breaks. He's really opened up to us and is a lot more friendly, so thats a nice change. Us and the Hermanas put on a movie night at the church on Monday night. We watched The Testaments on a giant screen and had a giant dinner there and Dionicio brought 3 buddies. It was great. He also got up to bear his testimony on Sunday and it was better than some of the member's! haha Jenry is doing good. He still needs to come to church 2 more times before he can get baptized, and on Friday he's moving to this place that is WAY far away from any member and he doesn't have a car, so that's going to be real tough. But he's progressing really well and reading the Book of Mormon and everything so we're really excited about him. Mauro is just Mauro. He says the book of mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was called of God, but he doesn't get that there is ONE true church and the whole authority thing just goes completely over his head, but we're now on good terms with his wife, so maybe she'll be the key? I just dont' know anymore, but we're still trying. We've been finding a lot of old investigators lately, and not because we were using the area book. We just tract into them and they're usually willing to hear about the gospel again. We found this guy Jairo who had a baptismal date 2 years ago but had some really bad experiences with some member at church and just stopped going, but we're working with him and he still has a testimony! It's awesome! So we're really excited about him too!
So can you believe it's finally april tomorrow? I don't know why, but march just seemed to go by really slow. General Conference this weekend, and I'm way excited! Funny story, we actually had an investigator who just raises every doubt he can think of, and he asked us how a church that professes to put such a big emphasis on families can send children away from their familes for 2 years and only let them talk to their family every six months! hahahaha I was laughing SO hard! Worst doubt ever, so we squashed that one.
Man, what else has happened. One of the recent converts of about 7 months has gotten all offended because his buddies in the branch didn't have time to sit down and hang out with him one day, and then the buddy of his cornered Elder Zobrist in the kitchen at the church and made him explain what's wrong with the other guy. It was really bad. We're still waiting to see the repercussions of that, but oh well.
So do you remember Elder Wheatley from the MTC? The really little guy in my room who was having a hard time with spanish. Well he's training now! yeah, he's training a native peruvian. I was so jealous. But I think they did it to get him some more responsibility so he would stop screwing around and get to work. He said it's pretty much like he's getting trained all over again, but this time by his greenie. I quote "My greenie is a really good trainer!" So that's the big news on transfers I guess. Umm, what else. I dont' think there is anything else. That seems like all for this week.
Love you all and I'll talk to you next week.
