I went to a meeting with some leader of the mission. It was really good. We had a lot of trainings and we are ready to make the mission better now. It should be great.

One of the things I liked that we talked about in the meeting is prayer. I learned a lot about prayer. Ive been thinking about prayer a lot lately and the will of God. Ive been thinking if God wanted something to be done wouldnt He just do it? But one of the things that stood out to me in the meeting is that prayer unites our will with God's will. It was an answer that i was needing. Through prayer and fasting, we can unite our will and desires with God's. Ive learned the importance of praying to God about every person that we are teaching and working with. He really answers prayers. 

Everyone have an amazing week!

The week was a good week of hard work. We printed the ward directory a couple of weeks ago and are finding and organizing the list. We are learning the importance of keeping records and organization. Everyone needs to be noted for in the church. Everyone needs to be visited every month. This is the church of Christ, everyone needs to know they are part of it wheather they are active or not. It makes us so sad to meet people who are inactive in the church and say they dont want to return because they feel like they aren't a part anymore. This is the true church. We need to make the sacrifice to keep everyone accounted for. No one is left out in God's eyes. 

We are working so much with marriage. Here, many people have the happit of staying together but not getting married legally. Mainly because it costs a lot. But what many people dont know is there is a way to marry for free. We are making this knows and helping many couples with marrage. The family is ordained of God. Its is one of the most important things that we have. We need to give importance to this. 

Everyone have a fantastic week!

So we found out that transfers were last week. It was a surprise for us. We are alone in the city so we dont recieve much news. It looks like we are here alone for another transfer. But it will be great, we are loving it.

Our teaching pool is gigantic. We are trying to find ways to use our time on those who have potencial, those who want to progress. We encounter many who like our visits, like the messages, but few who really want to change their lives. The ones who really want to change their lives for the better, are the ones we are looking for. 

We are working more with the branch and the more we work with the members, the better the work is. Almost all of the references we recieve from members are those who want to progress. And almost all those who we visit with members will progress. Alone, us missionaries can do many things, but with help from the members, we can do all things. 

I love the work that we are doing here. I love the church. I love the spiritual power we can recieve through prayer and fasts. The gospel is perfect made for the imperfect to be perfect. Can you imagine something more perfect?

Everyone have a great Fourth of July and a great week!
