My mission has taken a drastic turn for the better. My comp is probably the best missionary in the whole mission. Everyone was telling us that our area is probably the worst one in the whole mission and that we wouldnt find anyone. Well, I have learned that there isn´t such a thing as a bad area, only that they are lazy missionaries. We started the week with only having two investigators and just running with it. We contacted like crazy, and we ended up in places that I have no idea why we were there, but the Lord did. We found some really amazing people who were really prepared to listen to our message. One family we found was absolutely poor, I don´t think that had ate in a day or two. The mom was so sick, she was on the verge of dying, i´m not kidding. We gave her a blessing and told her that we were going to return. We went to our house and found what medicine we had and went to our cook´s house and took a couple of cup of ramon and a jug of agua pura. We went back and gave them the medicine and we have returned back a couple of times and seems to be recovering just fine. But this family already wants to get baptized, we just have to get them to church, which they went yesterday, but the dad left for Hondorus today for his work and doesn´t come back for another 22 days. They are so many more just like that, the thing is when we first went to the house the parents weren´t there. But as we were returning back, they stopped us and told us to come to their house. It was just amazing that we were right there in that moment. In the end, we found 31 new investigators and 6 investigators in church. It is possible that next week we could have more than ten next week, because this past week Semana Santa and so absolutely no one was in the street or anything. Everyone left for the beaches. Honestly, there were more drunks in the street than people that could actually talk to us and stand still. I also had to give a talk in church yesterday. It went really well, everyone told me spanish was really good and that I had improved from the last time. We are going to be pretty busy this week teaching all of these people and putting dates with for their baptism. We have really been pushing hard to invite for baptism in the first lesson and put a date in the second. I love you all, it´s always good to hear all is well. It´s like David O. Mckay said ¨every member is a missionary¨ in D y C 33, there is a promise, if you open your mouth the Lord with fill you with the words that you need because He is with you.

Andy, we hope your Spanish is good, because your English has turned awful. I guess that's a good sign though. Keep up the good work.
