This week was real good. Like each week. Not too much happened but it was still real good, we were not able to get any baptisms, but we are really hoping for this coming saturday with the peruvians. Clinton who was supposed to get baptized last saturday but didnt come to church, he didnt come to church yesterday either.. So he cant get baptized this week either. I dont know what his deal is, we gotta work on his testimony of coming to church. The hard thing with him is that he is unemployed and when he gets a little work its usually on sundays, so he takes it cause he needs the money. But he is a great guy so humble kind, i know the lord will provide the way if he truly wants it.

We had some new investigtors come to church this last week, it was real cool cause a member of the Georgia Macon mission presidency came to visit Myrlte Beach, and he speaks spanish so he helped us with them, and we taught them a really powerful first lesson during priesthood and set a date with them for the 20th of june.

But we really gotta work on our keeping our investigtors strong, we lack in that area some days we have great lessons with them , then they kinda fall at times. So we got some room to improve, its kinda sad, i think my companion is getting a little area trunky... haha He has been here almost 7 and a half months, so i feel he is almost giving up, but we gotta keep going! i push him through, but i sont wanna be pushy im junior comp but i just dont wanna waste any time ever. But we will make it through. He is a great missionary.

Everything is going great here. I love this work and i know as i work my hardest we will see miracles and success. I have been really working to be as exactly obedient as i can, cause i dont wanna miss out on anything, i know the lord will bless us as we are obedient, I love Having a prophet called of god, someone who can recieve revelation to guide us, caus ein this world they are some people who are lost and need help, also so many people interpret the scriptures wrong and we have a prphet who can know through the spirit what they truly mean to us. I love this gospel and i know its true with all my heart, i feel my saviors love each day, i owe him all i have, he helped me get back out here i did what i needed to do and he provided the way for me to get back out now i must do all i can to do all that he wants me to out here. Tenemos que perseverar hasta el fin, Si hacemos eso. vamos a recibir la vida eterna!
