hola a todos. espero que esten bien.

well this week was so hectic! we really struggled towards the beginning of the week to find new people to teach. but friday my companion and i decided to fast so that the Lord could help us find people he had prepared and sure enough the Lord pulled us through and we found a lot of people that day.

all of our progressing investigators with baptismal dates came to Church this past Sunday and in total we had about 9 investigators at Church. It was a big blessing from the Lord and he has continually helped us. the members in edinburg 2nd are awesome and are willing to do their part to help us with missionary work. Claudia and Jr were baptized last night at La Vista it was an extremely spirit filled service. elder o connor and i are grateful for this opportunity we have to be missionaries in the lord's work.

well one day we went to ______ house. she was feeling sick and she hadnt fed her grandchildren. since she doesnt have electricity or running water she usually cooks outside in a bbq pit. we helped her chop up some wood and started the fire for her. we helped her out. it was a really windy day and the whole time we had sand blowing in our eyes and it was just really bad. i wish there were more that we could do for this family. but i have given them the thing that i treasure the most and that is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

well i can't believe December is here already this week! pretty soon I will be able to call home and see how everyone is doing.

I love you all! Take care.
