One Year Anniversary of being on a Mission!

Whats up my family!
Wow. The hump is on thursday. Ya.....i dont know how to feel about that. I´ll just keep doing what im doing. WORKING!
So it sounds like you are all doing really good. That really does make me happy.

So i dont know why but this week was really hard. This new sector is taking a lot to get used to. I have never been rejected so much in my mission so far. I like this area a lot though. We really worked so hard this week. But none of our investegators went to church....it made me kinda frustrated yesterday because if they dont go to church they cant get baptised. We are doing a ton tho to change the branch here. The prominent religion here is Evangelical. I think thats how you say it in english. I dont want to be mean but a lot of them are....very different. They sing super loud with like rock religious concerts and touch your head and start shaking and say they are healing. Very differernt like i said. And they are a ton! Their pastors tell them to not listen to the Mormons because we´re bad. But the work continues as well! Me and my comp were talking and we decided that we are going to fight fire with fire. The other religions gather like every for the party...i mean church so we are too now! On wednesdays English class from the two white boys, Fridays soccer night, and like every other saturday night ward family night. Its gonna be fun we are super stoked.

This whole week i have been thinking about the scripture in the Book of Mormon in Ether 12:6. I am trying to keep strong and keep going on with faith that we will find people that are ready to find the truth. There are so many people here and we are doing as much as we can. The first week or the transfer we are always supposed to do 200 contacts. Last night we got in the house and I realized that we forgot to finish and we lacked 9. So we got back dressed and went back out at like 10:35. Leaving the house i knew somehow that the first ones were gonna be like challenging and they were but i knew that the last one would be worth it. We walked around for like 10 min and couldnt find anyone and no one would open there door and a few minutes before 11:00 we saw 2 people walking fast to their house. Long story short they are super cool and want us to visit them. It grew my testimony that completing with standards and what our pres asks us to do we will be blessed. I dont know what will happen with them but i learned a lot from that.
I love you all so much. Pray for me that we will find people that will help the church and want to accept our message. Have a great week!
