Hey everybody 

Hope all is well we had a pretty good week here we weren't able to find a lot of people this week so we spent a lot of time walking the street but we were able to put two people on date for baptism so that was good.  We also ate a ton of meals from everybody. They just keep feeling us so I am starting to like the taste of their con gri that they make. It's like black rice with chicken and fried bananas and you can put eggs on it too. It's not that bad. We got to have a couple good lessons with some members who have incredible faith. One just got cáncer and then they told him he might have another type of it too but he said he is just going to put his trust in God and everything will turn out how it needs to and the other member is a sweet old lady who has had a lot of health issues and family issues but she told us how she reads the Book of Mormon and feels like she is in the stories but she makes sure to pray before reading everytime to understand what she needs to learn. She says that anytime she is going through something hard she first thinks  of Jesus and  what he went through.  I thought that is a good example we talked a lot about trials and how they will benefit us all someday wether that comes now or later. I think It's a good lesson because a lot of people ask the question why me why am I going through something so hard and it's easy to lose faith that way but we need to remember that trials are for our good and they will benefit us like when Joseph Smith was in Liberty Jail he was told to bear his afflictions with patience and endure them well God will exalt him on high D&C 121

I think this sweet old lady taught a good lesson we need to bear our trials with patience and have faith then we can find peace and joy in the life to come.

Hope you all have a good week
