La Trinidad

What a week. It´s been an interesting one! Well, I guess one big thing I should mention  is that Elder Martinez left on Wednesday, so now, I´m working with the Elders of José León Suarez - Elder Andrade and Elder Bradbury.  We´re in a trio, and are working between the two areas of Boulogne and Jose León Suarez.  It´s been a great week, and I love my companions a ton. I really enjoy working with them.
My birthday was pretty good. Elder Bradbury and I worked a bit in Boulogne that morning in the local fair, sharing Books of Mormon, pamphlets, cards and other fun stuff with people. We were able to do alot of contacts.  
Of course, Sunday (Mothers day for you guys) was fantastic. We had a few investigators in the church building (Oh ya, the other Elders dropped me off with a member named Lucas Godoy in the morning so that we could help some investigators get to church. Later after lunch (The father of the family was accompanying me, but it was super weird being the only Elder there with the family...) I was reunited with my companions, and I made my Skype call to the family. I had a great time talking with them, and it´s weird to think that I´ll see everyone in a little less than a month.
Well, there´s one awesome guy named Emanuel. He has a baptismal date in these upcoming weeks.  We actually found him a couple weeks ago. like I´ve said before, we´re trying to talk with everyone we can, and we saw him one day seated with Joaquin (The brother of another investigator). We went over and said Hi to them, and Emanuel was super psyched to learn more. He´s already gone to church a couple of times and we´re teaching him. Joaquin´s already a member, so he´s been able to support him. I just mention this story I guess because we all have people around us that the Lord has prepared to receive the gospel. With just a simple invitation, Emanuel was like "Ya, let´s go!". So ya, just pay atention, and pray so that the Lord gives you those opportunities to share the Gospel with others. 
Well, take care and have a great week. The church is true. Hurrah for Israel!
