well, we had an interesting week. had a couple day where basically EVERY cita fell through which was not so good. but then the week ended with somewhat of a miracle. haha

we tried to do a little less contacting and more working with members. we got the branch Pres to help us out but hes the only one really animated enough to do it. we are gonna plan a branch activity in hopes that the members get excited about the work, the only problem is we need Felipe (the mission leader) to help us and hes not all the excited either. but we are working on it!

i have learned a bunch this week about personal council. and it is such a beautiful thing to be able to change and be better. i love that ability we have to grow and learn. don't ever let the past obligate your future. mistakes are lessons. love them and love Christ. rely on Him to heal you. to make you better. love others and teach them to do the same.

yesterday we had NOBODY at church that we have been teaching. it was sooooo sad. but then something awesome happened! a random girl walked in that we didn't know. so we contacted her, went to her house last night and accepted the baptism invite! SOOOOO awesome. i love having experiences like that with Dawson, i know it'll help him stay animated about the work through his whole mission!

i love you guys! i hope you have a great week! and learn something!!
