So, we thought for sure that Elder Cano would be transferring, but no... We'll be together for at least another six weeks, which is all good because we get along really well and we both love to eat(a lot). We both decided that we have been in this area for so long because we have a purpose to do here. We also decided that we have not been as obedient as we should be. So yesterday we opened our transfer with a fast and decided to be exactly obedient. If we want to bring for miracles here in the mission field then we need to live the higher standard. But, I think that goes for all of us. This last week was really good. We worked really hard and are preparing a lot of people for baptism. We had 2 baptisms on Saturday but then there was a big rain storm on Sunday so they couldn't be confirmed. We were pretty bummed. There are supposed to be 4 more huge storms here in August so that should be fun but I hope that it doesn't interfere with our work. He are preparing 5 people to be baptized on Saturday(all teenagers), but one of them has a step-dad that doesn't like mormons and will not talk to us. We are gonna go talk to him tomorrow. Hopefully we can soften his heart and resolve some of his concerns. People here think the weirdest things about mormons. They all think that we are here searching for gold and we walk around with detectors all day. Other than her, four of them for sure will be baptized on Saturday so that will be exciting. I am super excited about this transfer and I can't believe how blessed I have been in this area. I am stoked that you guys are getting in on the missionary work. That's rad that dads new best friends are the missionaries. Ward mission leader??? That would be sweet. Well in other news, my shoes are pretty beat, one pair are pretty hammered and are not gonna last much longer. The other ones are practically brand new because they hurt like crap to wear. Ill throw some pictures on dropbox for you guys to check out. Don't forget that I love getting pictures of you guys too. I want you guys to know that this gospel is true. I have seen it change lives that I thought that there was no hope for(mine included). There is nothing that will bring us more joy and true peace in this life than living its principles, and sharing that joy with others. Thank you so much for the examples that you are setting for me and I love you and miss you so much. I pray for you every day and I hope that you feel my love even though I am on the other side of the world. Keep it real. Don't forget what you represent.
