Well this week was a good one and I can´t really complain but the fact that not a whole bunch of people went to church made me a little. . . . . . frustrated. I tend to be a little gullible and I tend to believe everyone. That´s hurting me a little here. Here in mexico lying is a . . . . . Talent that everyone seems to have. When they say I´ll go by myself or I´ll be here tomorrow morning. They won´t go and they won´t be there. It´s a little hard at times but we work it out. So us as missionaries need to go for every single investigator and bring them to church . . . . That was something that I didn´t expect to do coming here but I have to do it. This upcoming week we have a baptism planned for angel. And he was a present from the Hermanas. So he has a work that is a little intense and he can´t leave at all in the morning and so he´ll be getting baptized in our ward where he can go. Also we have found 2 familias that are 6 persons each. I am really looking forward to see what they can learn and do this upcoming week. This last sunday they were. . . . busy and couldn´t go to church but I am making it a point and bringing them to church seeing them in white and a year later getting sealed as a family. It´s a goal of mine and also of my companion. So this week we had interchanges with the zone leaders and I got put with a riverton guy. . . . It was awesome. I love that guy! he´s so funny :D. also I got to play basketball. . . . . and I schooled everyone ;) and more than that I had a lot of fun :) It rained all week long. . . . and it rained HARD every single day this week! It was refreshing and some days a little humid.I saw the funniest bumper sticker of all time. But I´m still debating whether I should put it down or not due to you guys might die of laughing. . . . I´ll save it for later.

 So this week I have been reading in the chapter of Romans in the bible. I thought since I haven´t read the new testament all the way through I might as well start. I am reading in chapter 8 and it has a lot of stuff having to do with "being carnally minded is death and to be spiritually minded is life" kind of stuff but at the very end of the chapter is my favorite part. It talks about how afflictions and tribulations can´t seperate us from God´s love. And then right after it says that nor life nor death, nor anything above or below the heaveans can seperate us from being loved by God. I really enjoyed reading this. I know that there is nothing that anyone can do that can seperate us from the love of God. I also know that he is always ready to recieve us with open arms all we need to do is go unto him. I have felt his love and I never want to leave it. There are too many blessings and too many things to share with other people than leave. I love you all so much and I wish you all a good one :D
