Sean Directos, Sean Sinceros, Sean Discípulos

Howdy, well, it´s been quite a week. This Program with the Book of Mormon really helps us to find new people, but it also gives us too many people to teach sometimes... But I also like it because I come home a lot more exhausted. I love the word of God! 
But hey, there´s honestly not a lot to report this week. We´re teaching a family with the last name of Zuli, and they always give us stuff (A boat in a bottle, a broken guitar, etc.) They have great desires, so they´ll be getting baptized after they get married. Also, we taught the Gomez family about the importance of marriage as well, and they took it well, and continue with their desires to come to the church. It´s honestly made me think alot about the importance of being direct. Not overbearing, but direct. We have a doctrinal point, we teach it, we show how it´ll help them, we commit them to it. Period.  If we want to help and build people, we can´t be beating around the bush! So, learn and act, without faltering. It´s an important pattern to take in and follow. 
Oh ya, also, Anibal got baptized. The service went great, and pretty much the whole branch was there! I honestly don´t think that I´ve ever fought so much for a baptism, wow, but hey, It was a great experience.  Anywho, we´re still working a ton to lift this area... "Bella Vista Bella vista, la que mata a los Profetas y apedrea a los que son enviados a ella, cuantas veces quise juntar a tus hijos...etc." Jajaja, chiste! 
Well, life is pretty good in the service of the Lord. hurrah for Israel! 

Elder Holtrycito

**He didnt say in his group letter but he told me "It was the first baptism in more than a year and a half in the area" and he said "I testify that there are such things as hard areas, dead areas no, but hard areas"
