It´s been a great week! We found a lot of new people who have a lot of potencial to progress and will be a great strength to the area. And yes, after 5 cycles here I finally have cambios. Hna Contreras is a little nervous that she doesn´t know the area, but I have full confidence that the area is in very capable hands. I have learned so much and grown so much here in Progreso. I may not be the perfect missionary but I gave my perfect effort here. We´ve seen a lot of blessings and disappointments and struggles and miracles here! I´ve grown to love the members and the investigators, it´s going to be hard to leave them. But change is always good and it is time for me to keep going, I have a lot of things to learn still.
I had a lot in mind to write, but now I don´t remember........
Funny/sad story of the week, Sunday we went to pick up an investigator and his son to go to church but we got there very late because the member who was going to take us arrived really late. Anyway, we were knocking and knocking when someone finally came out and told us that she had already left (¨to go to some kind of a mass or something¨). NOOOOOOOO! During the entire first half of sacrament meeting were were on the edges of our seats looking for her but she never got there. We went by later to visit her and found out that she had still been there, she was in the bathroom and her son thought she had already left. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! oh well, next week!
We are still learning a lot from Jesús. I´ve had some of the most powerful expierences in my mission teaching him in is store. We go through everything with him, a lot of laughter, anger, and tears. I have been able to understand the love of God for the one lost sheep. No one is deeper than the love of God can go. I am very sad to not be with him to prepare him for his baptism, but I know that part of the reason I was still here is becuase I needed to know him.
I love you all!
Love,
