She told us she had neighbors in her trailer park that she wants us to "attack with the sword of the gospel".

Happy new years! We had a pretty good week this week. We saw Daniel. He's a lot more outgoing and happy lately, but he's still not progressing super well. He's caught up on all this history stuff and science just like before. He'll probably be a long time before he's baptized because he wants to be super positive and sure before. 

I got to play basketball this week with an investigator! We just played at a park in our ties and everything. His name's Will, and we're probably going to start playing basketball with him more before we share a message with him. He's 14 and he's the worst basketball player of all time. haha Just kidding it's fun. But he, and a lot of other people tell us they read the Book of Mormon even though we're sure they don't. We ask a lot of people what they learned and they're like, "Yeah... the book says pretty things, like stuff about Jesus."

We finally taught Ivonne, our haircutter! She's super awesome and she was pumped to read and find out if it's true or not. She smokes, so she might take some time, but she was telling us "Okay, how about I read, and then we talk about what I read and you guys can help me understand if I have questions." And we were like "Heck yeah, that's the point!" But we have a lot of people that we're teaching right now that are actually reading and fulfilling their commitments. It's super super hard to get people to church though. We changed to 9:00 also, so we had 0 investigators at church. Fanny gets home from work at 5 in the morning and she tried really hard to make it but couldn't do it. She just decided she's going to get another job though, which is super good since she works in a club.

So one of our member's Margarita introduced us to a girl named Marricruz and her son Marlon. And they fed us dinner on Saturday and we had a lesson. They're super awesome too! The son especially. He's 15 and he's the nicest and coolest kid on the planet. He understood everything too, and is super smart. So we're pumped to teach them more, the only problem is they live about 50 minutes away car drive. So we'll try to go there once a week, and bike a ton to save miles.

Yesterday we went proseliting with Sister Gomez. She told us she had neighbors in her trailer park that she wants us to "attack with the sword of the gospel". So we went out with her and walked around going to the houses she wanted to go to. And she's flippin awesome! She doesn't take no for an answer. haha She basically just walked right into this trailer, and told us to come in. Then she kept telling us "sit down elders, sit down". And then once she got us into the house, she just took off for some reason and left. haha Then she was telling us in Honduras, she went up to the mountains and preached the gospel. And we started laughing and she was like "No really! For five days brothers; five days!" Anyways she's awesome to go proselting with.

We don't really have anyone super close to baptism right now... We have a bunch of people that will get there one day, but they'll take a while. People are progressing super super slow. And we still haven't seen or heard from Raul from a while, so who knows what's going on with him and his girlfriend.

But that's pretty  much it for this week! Transfer info is on the 22 so pray that I stay here one more transfer! That's all I want! Sweet love you guys!
