Lost but Now Is Found

Family Love
We had a family night last week with Castro and Hogo´s Family. We
talked about how we can stay away from Satan's influence. Then we
had dinner and it was delicious :)
We taught the Medes family. Their family is so united
and you can just tell how much love they have for each other. It was
so nice to see. The dad smokes 18 cigeretes a day but he is trying to
quit and he is down to 4 a day. The parents have a hard time
 understanding why we need to pay tithing, but we are going to keep
working with them. We have been helping the son with his English as
well and he is so ready to be batized.
 
Lost in a New Area
This new area is different. Haha we need to walk a hour before we see
 a single person! So one day we thought we would try another path
to see if it would get us to our area faster. We walked for 2 hours
and it started to get dark out. We kept asking everyone if we were in
Sobrea (dont know how to spell) and they said yes. Then we kept going
 and then we decided that we were completely lost. Haha we asked this
other lady after a while and she said no you are not even close!! We
kept walking hoping that we would find a city because were in just
neighboor hoods. After a while We decided we should ask someone. We
 knocked on this door and this guy came out and we contacted him and he
wasnt interested. At the end of the contact I was like... "Sorry sir I
just have one more question.... where are we?" hahha. He said that we
 were Costa de Caprica or something like that. Haha when we told our
elders that they said that we werent even in our area anymore and that
we were close to the ocean. So we continued walking and finally found
a city and a taxi. This new area is fun :) we decided that we
are not going to try short cuts and get lost again.

Temple Work and Blessings
Castro is doing great. He has been helping the missionaries and went to
the temple this week. So did my recent converts Jessica and Yolanda.
They all loved it. They all said that it was a great experience. The ward rents a bus
and takes everyone that wants to go.  They travel for 7 hours to the Spain
temple and do temple work, have lunch and then come back. Its 30 eros to go.

The Buffetings of Satan
Bela... So she was doing great. We vistited her on tuesday and she
 told us that people kept telling her that she was different and that
she was happier. But then sunday she came and it was like she was a
 whole new person... Apparently alot of people have been asking her why
our church is true and pressuring her and she looked online at some
anti mormon stuff and now she said that she feels like she doesnt know
if its true. Its sad. We are going to keep working with her.

A Little Taste of Home
This sunday we had lunch with the Santos again. They are so nice. I
 feel like they are family. They try to make us American food hahah its
so nice, This week we had roast and soup and apple pie!! :) it was so
nice of them.
