Life is really good! We have alot of great things happening and a couple kinda bummer things have happened this week. Sooo bad news first, Mario's family is not doing that good actually... We are not able to figure out if mario has a testimony or not... sooo kinda frustrating! Its a bummer cause His wife and kids are way cool and have interest, but are only going to follow him to church. And he works on Sunday and does not have much interest in changing anything! But we are actuall teaching several other families that look more promising.
Maria is doing Incredible though! this week she kinda opened up to us and told us her real concern. Its pretty simple, she has about $2000 in debts to coyotes from crossing the border and is afraid that if she doesnt pay them how she needs to they will mess with her elderly parents in Mexico... So that is tough, she is a way good lady, and she has felt the gospel touch her. She said she will be done paying her debts by the 1st of March and says she will be in church that first week in March, so, thats really tough, but at the same time it was good to know that she is working towards her goal of coming to church and ultimately getting baptized (she has received her answers to her prayers and wants it bad).
We also have Laura, and her husband Louis. They are incredible but they are going back to California next week. He left his job as a Leather worker for some designer in LA to come here and do sheet rock... Well he was hoping he would have a better life, but there is no work here so he is returning to LA. Sad stuff... People keep getting bad info that there is work here! Sooo he still has his Job in LA, he even had a letter of recomendation from the designer saying that he was always welcome to come back to work at "Marco Callo" design. But so yeah, that was way sad, he left his job that he loved, spent thousands to get here, and are returning back with nothing to show for it 4 mths later! But we had an incredible lesson on The Plan of happiness on Friday and they loved it! They like us and had us to their daughters birthday party on Wednesday. It was fun! We are going to forward their info to the LA mission because I think the reason they came here to Hamilton was to hear the Gospel! So overall it was a good week!
I do not really have any funny stories or anything, just a good solid week of work! I love you all and thanks for everything! ohh yeah, PS spanish is coming along pretty well! I do not even have to think to as much when I am talk now... Kinda nice!
Take Care I love you all,
