Dear mom,
Ok so this week was pretty long. Mainly because of how crazy the week went. We are helping the ward leaders work together on being more effective planners. They really haven't ever met and planned anything numerically, so we are meeting with them consistently to teach them how to effectively do it. Also, on monday we had a Noche de Hogar. We held it at the church like always, and we basically played a game and watched a movie with the families. Well the 2 families that could come. So tuesday me and elder unga went on another split and I taught the family Gladys. I got them to commit to come to church this week. It was kind of crazy actually trying to convince them the importance of waking up lol. On wednesday we went over to the family Pereyras house and taught them and Hna. Peyrera wanted a blessing. On thursday we met with one of our new investagators we found on the house in front of our house above some acitic Jews. We taught him about the plan of salvation and another elder helped us by letting us use a plan of salvation puzzle. The following day was so very hectic. We were asked to help the family Ernest furniture that they just bought to their house. Long story short, we just basically had so much to do that we had to help them on sunday as well. Well on saturday me and elder unga did everything we could to prepare the Plan activity at the church. It was quite the activity, but not alot of members could come. We found out that a member had died a couple of days earlier and most of the members were going to the funeral. So on sunday we had testimony meeting and it was amazing. Our newest baptism for the very first time bore her testimony in front of the whole congregation. It was crazy to think that would happen but I was so proud of her. She was sharing the story of how her husband (another recent convert) stopped taking alchohol, cigarettes, drugs all for the gospel, and because of that she and him are such a stronger family and have progressed so much. It is always amazing to see the power the God has to help those who wish to live Gods commandments.
I love you mom and if there is anything else just tell me.
With love,
Elder Gamez
