Hola 

This week went by soooo fast. Elder Mayorga and I are just having a blast. Not sure if I mentioned but we were in the same district together for about 4 months so we already know each other pretty well. Our week was full of inside jokes from about 6 months ago haha, it was a pretty great time. If you guys remember in the beginning of last transfer I mentioned that the area was all dried up and we had about 3 good investigators.  Well it felt pretty familiar to that lately, as we have been forced to drop a bunch of investigators lately. I’m not even phased by it even a little though, cause me and Elder Mayorga already have a ton of unity and we already know how to contact and teach together, so this week we were able to accomplish a lot of great things together. We made one contact and it was one hundred percent the spirit.  We started looking for her needs and I can’t remember the question we asked but she just started to cry and she told us that she has been looking for something secure like a church because her family has been forced to move all over the place the past year and it’s been hard for her to find pace and settle in.

On Wednesday we also had a really great training meeting with Elder Mark A Bragg from the seventy and I learned a lot there.  About 4 months ago the Area Presidency made us do a survey about all different things about the mission like: our safety, how we work, how we teach, how obedient we are. Elder Bragg came in with the results from the survey and told us that 81 percent of our mission is obedient all of the time. He said it was the highest he has seen which is crazy cool. Although we still have a few other things to work on in our teaching skills as a mission. It was cool though because Elder Bragg taught us all on exactly what we needed through the survey and I actually learned a ton of great things. I hope this week was great for you and you enjoy your last bit of summer hahaha
