Fear not...



So Wednesday we had a worldwide training done by the missionary executive council and it was incredible!! We have a new schedule and they talked a lot about the doctrine of Christ and how to teach it better. I took a lot of notes and I’ve been studying them, but wow it was awesome!!!

Saturday we went out to La Calera, a little pueblito about 15 minutes from Guadalupe that's part of our area. There are some old investigators out there so we tried to visit them and found one family. We also walked through rice fields to find another family, and put President Marble's promise to the test. He says that the water bottles we have will filter anything, so we filled them up with water that was flowing into the rice fields and drank that. We’re not dead yet, so good thing our filters work! We also played soccer with some kids on Saturday and that was super fun. I was needing a break, and Hna Mancilla suggested we play. Franklin and Victor, Santos and Henry's kids were there so we played with them and some others.

Yesterday we had four investigators at church! Santos went with her two kids, but Henry didn't go. Later that day we were in the area where they live, and found Henry in a bar drinking with his friends. It’s so sad and frustrating cuz Santos wants to get baptized and go to the temple as a family, but Henry hasn't quite caught the vision yet. So we're figuring out what to do about that. But this next week is going to be fantastic! We are going to work hard and find new people and put to work the things we learned in the worldwide training. I love you all and hope you have a good week!! Pray in faith and remember that the Lord is with us every step of the way. Isaiah 41: 10, 13

 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
 13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
