So on Monday we had a lesson with Maggy and it was really good. We read in the Book of Mormon for a little while and helped her understand what she was reading. It was really good. She told us that her dad had even noticed a difference. She used to slam the door when she'd leave the house and now she closes it gently. They say it’s because she got baptized. But it’s true though we have seen a pretty big difference. She is a lot more attentive and she understands things easier. 

On Tuesday we had a lesson with M. We actually went to her house and it was really cool. Hno T., her father came with us and we had a good little lesson about the Book of Mormon, what it is and why it’s so important. We invited her to be baptized and she said that she would like to be, she just isn't ready to pick a date, or anything. So we are going to keep working with her. So we had our English class that night and when we first got there we were kind of worried because nobody had shown up the week before. But we had a good 6 or 7 people there so that was really nice. The class went really well.

Wednesday. We found A. again!!!! It was cool! We had a really good lesson with him about the Restoration. He accepted it really well and said he'd be willing to get baptized if he knew everything was true. So hopefully we can meet with him!

Thursday we had another lesson with M. It was really good. We talked more about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon and she told us she'd go to church.

Friday we had a meeting from 8 am and we were at the church until 5:30. It was crazy!! We talked about some super deep doctrine and I also learned how to always be able to find the North Star. But other than that we got the iPads. Well Elder Juarez got an iPad. I just sort of sat there and watched everyone get them all configured. It was a little depressing. And it’s hard sometimes because I want to use the iPad for stuff, but it’s not mine so I feel bad and so I don't. Which is good I guess. It helps me focus.

Saturday. So on Saturday we stopped by the S.'s home and we had a good little lesson with B. about church, what we do, how we dress, and everything. I even sang a part of the hymn Nearer my God to thee, but in Spanish, and it was really good. The spirit was there super strong. Then we invited her to church. She said she was going go so hopefully!

Sunday we had church and nobody was there. We texted B. and she told us she was getting ready and they she said she was leaving and then we got a text and she said she had to go pick up her kids. So she'd try to come but she wasn't sure. She ended up not coming, and neither did A.or the S’s. Ugh. Fathers Day is super rough >.<

But yeah that was the week. Sorry there isn't a whole ton. Bikes cut down on what you can do sometimes.

I hope you all have a great week!!!

I love you all!!
