31 May 2010--Happiness

Sounds like everything is going awesome back home.  Thats great that the school year finally finished, what a relief it must be to at least have a little break.  You gotta love summer time.  Sounds like Allison is having a great experience over in Syria.  I hope everything is going well for her.  Steph and Andrew are starting lifegaurding, have fun with that guys.  You guys should have a fun summer.  Jen is going to be babysitting too no?  Have a good summer, its going to go fast, and then I will be home too. 

       This week in the work has been awesome.  I'm not going to lie, it seems like it went really slow.  We have been working so hard.  We had like nothing from Monday through Wednesday, all of our appointments weren't there, and we hadn't gotten a single new investigator.  Then the Lord started blessing us amazingly.  We found a family of 5 that are awesome, and they accepted a baptismal date for the 19th.  Then we taught a young man Miguel (18) who had attended the church before, and he accepted a baptismal date for the 12th.  We also have 2 other families that we brought to church yesterday, and we are teaching them and preparing them for this month too.  So we have been so blessed it is hard to believe.  We have a lot of work to do, but everything is looking awesome!  I'm just way happy to be working here in Huancayo. 

        We are putting in practica a plan misional to reactivate members, that we had put in practica in La Molina, and the members are getting excited.  We have 4 awesome ward missionaries, and they are going to be doing some trainings this week to the helping families in the ward.  Each ward missionary has 5 families to train, and we are going to be helping them so they know how it all works.  If we can get all this plan working, and get the members excited it is  really going to change missionary work here in Huancayo.  It is amazing how much more success you have when you have help from the members.  That is the problem down here a lot of the time, the work is separated between the ward and the missionaries.  This plan is going to put everyone on the same page so the work can go forward with much more success. 

         The zone are really excited because we met our goal for the month of May, and we are ready to do the same, and even better for June.  Just couldn't be happier to be in the work of the Lord.  I really notice that if we give it all we got and are obedient the Lord does the rest.  Wow, he just prepares people, and we come to teach and baptized them.  Even when there are a few days with not much success all we have to do is be patient, and all of the blessings come.  Thanks for all of your love and support, its always great to hear from everyone.  Love you guys!!
