Well... this Sunday was very interesting. We had a bunch of investigators lined up to go to church this week but come around Sunday morning and we woke up to rain.. Well the people here think that they are made out of sugar or something and so not even our most sure investigator made it to church. He was supposed to go with the member that is in our area and she is the only really active member but even she didn`t go. In church we had ten members, one investigator (among the ten missionaries) and the missionaries. This week was pretty crappy with that also because we don`t have any new investigators so we are going to focus a lot on that and protecting the ones that we have.
The closest people that we have to baptism are Cesar and Agostina. Cesar is Sonia (the member in our area`s) neighbor. He is really cool and loves learning about the gospel. He always is happy when we come over and if he ever has questions he runs over to Sonia`s house and asks her. It is really the perfect situation.
The next closest is probably Agostina. She is Sonia`s niece. We teach her with her cousin Xiomara (Sonia`s daughter). She is progressing but she still has a few things to take care of and we still need to teach her a lot of lessons but she lives far away so it is hard to arrange appointments with her.
The other good investigator that we have is Vanesa. She is really nice and likes listening to us but it is hard for her because she has one year old twins that make a huge disaster wherever they go. We are trying to work hard with her but her husband has turned a little sour and we are worried that we are losing her. She has even received an answer and everything!
This time of year the weather switches between hot and cold, dry and wet. Once we get into October things will start getting a little more normal and just hot.
Elder Gonzalez the area president is coming to visit our mission. He will be talking to all the leader missionaries in a conference this Thursday. Elder Galindo will go to it since he is district leader. Then I will find out what it was all about. That day that he is gone I will be going with the others here in Avellaneda I.
This week, more than anything we have been visiting our Illuminados (those who have a baptismal date and have assisted the church). We also had divisions this week and I went with Elder Conway (my grandson, he is E Clemons son) here in Avellaneda and that was fun. We have to take the pantera probably at least four times a week to and from Reconquista for meetings and interviews. The biggest problem is that it is a thirty minute ride so it takes up a lot of time to go there. But in our area we always walk everywhere and our area is far from the pensh so we do a lot of walking as well.
I love you guys very much! And can`t wait to hear from you next week!
